la!

The word La (which means there) is used often here in Moz. I originally thought it meant right here, close. However, after many months I've come to realize it can mean anywhere between right here close to down the street to the other end of the country. The way to deduct this information is to listen to the pitch of the person talking. For example, "Oh don't worry you're carrying heavy luggage, the hotel is just la" - If the speaker sounds like a baritone, you really have nothing to worry about, the hotel is probably in view. If he sounds about normal, count on a few minutes hike. Now, if you hear a high pitched la, you're in for quite a hike. And if he sounds like an opera singer, just give up there because it's probably not even in the same town. This valuable information has been collected through months of long hikes trying to track down things that I assumed were just around the corner but turn out to be (opera)) la!
