Hi. Do you like to travel? What is your favorite mode of transportation?
gpt
*body relaxes* I love air travel even though it's 10% slower than it was in the 1960s as they try to save on fuel costs now. What about you?
human
I think traveling by air is easiest although I do enjoy traveling by train. It is relaxing. I wouldn't be so lucky in Iceland. They have no rail service.
gpt
They don't? I wonder why that is? I bet it's a nightmare for residents. There's also a website I like to use when a travel that let's you crash on people's couches while traveling as well!
human
That is a great service. Iceland you would to take domestic flights if you do not have a car to travel between towns. Or crash on people's couches

*smiles* That makes sense! You know what I find funny? People actually steal garden gnomes and take them traveling with them. Then they return the gnome to its owner with photos from their travels. That is hilarious! Ha!
human
*takes a step back* I never knew that. I also did not know that the first King to travel around the world was King Kalakaua of Hawaii. I would have thought it was a European king.
gpt
I would think that as well, honestly. You know, during the age of discovery, ships would release rabbits onto islands to provide a food source for travelers. Wonder if that king stumbled across any rabbit islands? Ha!
human
I'm sure he did. He is just lucky he didn't travel on Japan's current highway tolls. It costs more than $300 to travel across the country.

*eyes widen* That is crazy! About as crazy as airports making people walk farther instead of fetching their bags faster and it actually stops most of the complaints!
human
*takes a step forward* How smart. I would hope my baggage would be close by on Mackinac Island in Michigan because there are no cars. You have to travel by carriage or bike.

That must be a nightmare for those poor residents. Ha! Imagine wanting to go see a presidential campaign rally or something and have to take a bike. No way! Ha! Speaking of presidents, can you believe Woodrow Wilson was the only president to have a PhD?
human
*opens mouth slightly* I would think there would be a lot more. I was shocked to find out that Trump was not in the top three wealthiest Presidents.
gpt
That is shocking! And I was also shocked to learn FDR was the last US president that fluently spoke a foreign language!
human
Wow. Our Presidents need to be a bit more versatile. Like the President of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office.
gpt
Ha! That's kind of funny! I know in Guatemala, close relatives of former presidents aren't allowed to run for President. I believe they should implement that law here!
human
*takes a step forward* I think that would be fair because you wouldn't have the same Presidency twice. On the opposite side, in America the law as that the runner up to President automatically became Vice President. That's like two different presidencies at once.
gpt
Indeed it is. You mentioned the Indonesian president releasing 3 pop albums and it reminded me of something funny I heard: Lou Reed and his wife held a high frequency concert for dogs back in 2010. That was both sweet and humorous to me!
human
I really like that. What a fun fact to end on. Thanks for chatting and teaching me new and interesting things.

*frowns* Oh, I'll tell you an even more unbelievable fact, Abba turned down $1 billion to do a reunion tour of only 100 concerts. It's like that is sad because it's such easy money!
