        What is your strength like? Will you be able to carry your shopping bags until you get back to your hotel?

        I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user, mostly using a cane in my city, occasionally using a wheelchair when I go to a museum or event where I’d expect to be moving around for a few hours. I rented a wheelchair in Japan (and also…
