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.

Buenos Aires has Ben one of my favourite cities so far. I love the old stone streets and cafe culture is unreal. While there, I did feel a a bit depressed by the economic situation and generally sensed many locals stressed out. I now understand the inflation in a personal and new perspective way. Too much smoking as usual. I thinks itโs a good city but hard to say if it could be long term. I met people from all over the globe there.
