I say this confidently, having seen exactly one takedown style video criticizing them, a channel I’ve never actually watched.

You can take the metro and walk anywhere and not (…) worry about crime.
One of my favourite things in china. Every neighbourhood is safe. walk anywhere at any time of day and the worst thing that would happen to you is someone looking at you funny because they’re not used to foreigners.
However,
We don’t see the omnipresent litter we do here.
A lot of chinese people do litter like crazy though. one of my least favourite things. a lot of good people, but enough of a percentage of shitty mentality that thinks dropping stuff on the ground and walking away is fine.
Also,
Seven, the qualitatively different nature of police relations with the people than here.
I’m sure american cops are a class of their own, but i’m not a huge fan of chinese cops. gong’an are usually alright, and might help you with stuff, but everyone absolutely hates chengguan, who are often corrupt and high on their own (limited) supply.

What really gets me about Seppo houses is the doorknobs, though.
yeah what’s the deal with the little globe door handles that give you no leverage and you have to awkwardly twist your wrist to open the door? and what’s the deal with the useles little clicky lock thing in the middle? what smart brain designed this bullshit and what lobbyist paid off their whole nation to get them installed everywhere?
what kind of lazy sci fi writing is this where the dominant species increased like 10 tech levels in a century by using some sticky undergroud goop, and they used it both as a combustible fuel, as a solvent, as biochemistry feedstock and to create polymers?
and pretty much all their vehicles are fueled by different versions of this goo? and all of their doodads and doohickeys are made from it? this one underground goo? sure, why not make it a drug that lets you see the future too.
and the economies of entire neo-feudal states are based entirely on sitting on top of this goo? come on.
and the goo is so cursed that it causes Gaia’s Vengence on the whole planet? storms and droughts and corruption of the flesh? is this science fantasy now?
i expected better from the writers honestly.

what if i get my opinions from four or five midwestern gen-xers who drink craft beer (and one of them drinks soft drinks)

when you first ask your prospective girlfriend how much she costs a month, she might say “wtf are you talking about weirdo” “why are you talking like i’m a sex worker” “i don’t cost anything haha”, but believing this female lie often the beginner sexpat’s expat flaneur’s first mistake! the real cost will soon become apparent. here are some hidden costs: copyright free music starts playing

turns out i was thinking of Shimla, but yes the average anglo bueurocrat would just stay on their post and melt I guess
didn’t they have administrative capitals in like small resort towns in the himalayan foothills so they could govern from a bearable 16 degrees
not enough urban villages, they should be crammed between every other kinda-central highrise development. (if you’re in eastern china they’re the best place for sichuan food)
also a city bigh enough to have a massive ring road would also have like three new train stations on opposite sides of the city. and many cities don’t have an old train station, they went from no train straight to HSR like ten years ago.
HOWEVER if the city does have an old train station, the area on the map labeled “hotels” are going to be the sketchiest type of hostels you’ve ever seen, catering to people just coming in from the countryside. see the hostel scene in Lost on Journey for reference
uncritical support to taking so many drugs in a cave that you get so enlightened that you don’t even need to play 4d chess because you realise that heh, you’ve already won, and then (spoilers whatever) being so prescient that you have perfect vision even after your eyeballs have been hardboiled by tactical nukes
volunteering at the local soup kitchen (btw, do they even have those in China?
I’ve volunteered at an equivalent of a soup kitchen before (free vegetarian kitchen with volunteer staff) a couple of times. the food was pretty good, a couple of vegetable dishes, tofu, soup and rice. it was frequented mostly by old folks rather than homeless, since I guess the town it was in didn’t really have many homeless people. I know bigger cities do have bigger homeless populations though, but nothing like in the west or japan/taiwan/korea.
these kind of veg kitchens exist in most mid-large cities and are staffed by volunteers, most of which are also retired folks, except for the chefs maybe. the groceries are mostly donated, like someone will donate several huge sacks of rice or jugs of cooking oil, or help buy fresh veg etc.

lol this show is awesome. bland yet miserable protagonist. pronouns. laugh track that goes “whoo!” when a cool character enters the sitcom house. fucking amazing. like even dumber than a 2002 parody of something in an already kinda shitty south park episode
