nice to know. maybe its a case to case basis then, am not really sure what's the deal though . Maybe in the country side, its a different case, but in the city where apartments are small, enough for one family that maybe a little difficult ... am not sure

But what I admire from their old people here is there independence. Even though they are already walking very slowly with their pushcarts/chair they still manage to go to the grocery and buy veggies and other stuff ( am not sure if they live alone though )
