    Shenzhen feels weird, though. It’s amazing and very well done city, but it has this weird vibe to it. Like it’s not real and you’re just in a system.

      Migration to foreign lands (for a dream) often involves genocide.

      From where I am, it would mean very cheap food and normal rent (still probably expensive rent by other countries’ standards)

        Yeah okay, the food is super cheap. Everything else seems to be on par with where I live.
