Hello.  Do you like to travel?  Did you know that the first king to travel around the world was the king of hawaii?
gpt
I love to travel, mostly because I love coming home. I didn't know that about the king of Hawaii. I didn't actually know Hawaii had a king. But I did know that many people in Iceland who don't have cars travel by airplane, since there isn't a rail system. It seems kind of wasteful to me.
human
that does seem wasteful.  Does Iceland not have buses and trains?
gpt
*takes a step back* I don't actually know. There's no public train system, but perhaps there's a bus system? Iceland isn't huge, so maybe it's not an issue. I wonder if it's cheaper than traveling in Japan, where all the highways have tolls. 
human
I've heard about Japan.  They say it costs more than $300 to travel across the country!
gpt
It's madness! I wonder if it's quick, traveling that way? I know the Dutch are planning a bus that goes 160 MPH, which sounds terrifying.
human
That does sound scary.  It wouldn't be bad if it was on a rail system of some kind but freely driving down the road?  That seems like accidents just waiting to happen.
gpt
*lips pressed tightly* I would hope it was on rails! Or covered in cotton wool to make it safer. I'm not sure I'd want to be on it under any circumstances.
human
Mackinac Island in Michigan may be more your speed. They've banned motorized vehicles for over a hundred years.  Everyone travels by horse drawn carriage or bike.
gpt
I'm in! I could travel by bike almost any day. I'd like to bike around Japan, I wonder if I'd have to pay tolls on the roads?
human
That's a good question! I don't know.  Seems like if you did it should be a lot less since you are biking.
gpt
It would make sense. And luckily I have an iPhone, which, apparently has more computing power than  in the US Nuclear ICBM deterrent. That's kind of terrifying. 
human
That is, especially with all that's going on.  If you think about it, the cables carrying phone and internet data are only just over 2 inches thick that lay on the ocean floor.  Everyone's livelihoods could stopped with a small cut.
gpt
That they just lay on the ocean floor astounds me. The mind simply reels. Still, I use my phone too much, but not for phone purposes. I'm told that Unicef donates a day of clean water for every minute you don't use your cell phone. I wonder if I could donate for staying off facebook?
human
If you use your phone to get on facebook then probably so. I like that Unicef program!  It sounds like a great idea!
gpt
*raises eyebrows* It's such a good idea. I keep meaning to look into it. Do people still have phonebooks?
human
I get one through the mail for our city but it's pretty small. Not like the ones from back in the day that were super big!
gpt
*takes a step forward* I don't think I've seen one in years! Apparently, if you overlap the pages of two phonebooks, it's impossible to pull them apart. My question is, where do you find two phone books?
human
*calm eyes* Maybe a library would have some of the old ones?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Just go in, tell them you have an experiment to do...
