Bangkok is one of my favorite cities. Very cyberpunk vibes. Huge, full of skyscrapers, impressive concrete infrastructure for the BTS skytrain, great architecture and design, super fancy shopping malls, lights, noise, tuktuks, street food vendors, prostitutes and ladyboys, cannabis shops, and advertisements everywhere for beauty products, cosmetic surgery clinics or various furutistic-sounding medical treatments. There are two ways to live in Bangkok: either you live cheaply in a poorly insu

Love Mexico City but as many have pointed out, yes it’s gotten very expensive for rent. for a city that has earthquakes, no drinkable running water, poor infrastructure and safety concerns, I cannot understand the prices. However, there is SO much fun to be had here. It was hard to focus on work because I would be going out so much. Love the food. Definitely can’t wait to go back. Looking for places outside the Condesa bubble though as prices have sky rocketed.

Difficult to find places to work in the evenings if you work for a western company. Hard to find a good quality restaurant, Google reviews are very inflated here.

I've never had such rude, aggressive, slow, uninterested service anywhere as in Portugal. Portuguese do not understand the basic idea of a customer paying for a service and getting something in return. Many Portuguese explicitly stated to me they really just don't care about money. But at the same time they complain about not making enough money because costs are so high. That sums up the Portuguese mindset: I'm not willing to work hard at my job to deliver a good product or service, but I e

New York is cool. I’ve visited multiple times to see my family throughout my life, and recently came back from my first post-COVID trip there. Yes, it’s very expensive — but there is no city on earth that’s more captivating in my opinion. I used to think that New Yorkers were smug by claiming that NYC was better than everywhere else, but now I totally get it lol. My personal favourite neighbourhood is the Upper East Side, which is where you’ll find the coveted Museum Mile. But I also

I don't understand why London has so high safety rating. Your phone could be stolen and your bicycle WILL be stolen here (or a part of it). I live here 8.5 years and I experienced the above multiple times. Police seems only cares about crime against person by whatever reason. Insure everything expensive that you own. I would also add that antisocial behaviour is quite common here and teenagers are heavily involved in crimes as police don't do anything with them because of their age. Basically th

So… amazing food. Great public transportation. Very clean. But very conformist. Self expression limited. The irony of seeing an exhibit on graffiti, yet no actual graffiti in the streets. And the causal racism especially if you’re brown. You could be British born but still expect to be sat far away from everyone else at cocktail bars, experience comments and have weird assumptions made.
