When I was in high school I often played the school harp in the hallway after school. People regularly stopped to talk to me. I remember that one day someone stopped to talk to me and asked about if it was difficult to transport a harp. I told him that yes, it was hard. But then he told me that he was a pole vaulter and that he needs to transport his 18 foot pole that doesn’t fold or come apart. I then had to agree with him that that was much more complicated to transport than a harp.
But if we both lived in My Country my harp (even though I only have a little one here) would be considered much more difficult to transport. The most common form of transportation here is the moped. I have seen people carrying long pieces of wood or metal, some of which have been at least 18 feet long, several times as they drive down on the road on a moped. So if my pole vaulter friend wanted to transport his pole here, he’d just have to hold onto it as he drove along. On the other hand, I have never seen anyone drive down the road with a harp. I haven’t tried it either yet. (But I did take it in a taxi and that worked. It cost an extra 40 cents for the harp to come along, but I figured that wouldn’t break the bank too much.)
