It's really hard to fathom how quickly things have changed in China in the past ~20 years. I haven't been there since early 2017 which doesn't feel that long ago, but I'm planning another trip there hopefully for next year and I already know to expect massive changes since then.
Meanwhile in my city here in Canada the fact that we have built a half dozen decent residential towers and put in some bike and bus lanes downtown since then is sadly good progress compared to a lot of cities on the continent. Truly just different levels of progress in China.
Living in Canada is depressing af, infrastructure develops on geological scale here. It's like watching plate tectonics.
damn for some reason with all your china posting i thought you were Chinese lol
haha I just read about China to keep sane, I'd be so depressed otherwise 🤣
I was also under a wrong impression. From how well versed you are on what's going on in Europe i thought you were European 😆
Haha, I find everything's connected in the end. I tend to pay a lot of attention to Europe cause that's where contradictions are sharpest at the moment.
