福田下梅林地铁站店

Travelled to shenzhen from West Kowloon HK today. A few thoughts:

• I had so many dreams today, in the morning, and later in taxis and trains.
• Lightroom ios is good enough for editing film like photos
• I didn't know beef shiu mai existed
• why is forcing people to buy tea a thing
• HK people being rude is definitely a thing, it's like all of them they woke up on the wrong side of the bed
• HK -> China customs is painstakingly slow
• the bullet train was so fast it felt like 5 minutes.
• Why can't I take pictures in customs is it a security law, I got called out lol
• A young taxi driver did not help us with b ags but the old one did thought it would be reversed
• It's so hard to find a hotel here, there are three hotels named T hotel, and ended up staying in the wrong one in the end
  • lesson: check properly the next time I book hotels, note the location and the possibility of different branches
• subway here is super cheap
• I had spicy and sour fish and I loved it, I think my body is beginning to accept it.
• came to a more suburb part of shenzhen and it felt like Taiwan it was peaceful, I saw this nice street with a lot of trees, and old people with small kids holding hands
• Motorcycles here are electric, very quiet and dangerous as they go on the sidewalks
• Diaphragm crams are so scary I felt like I was gonna die, I had one that lasted 20 minutes at this lanzhou noodles restaurant after eating some sour and spicy food and am now afraid
• Saw a corgi poop on the subway tunnels
• Shopping malls are mostly catered for females where are the clothing stores for men
• It would be cool if I could read greek
• Xiaomi is apple in China?
• Xiaomi 14 ultra has 140x zoom that's crazy
• Getting a fold phone would actually be useful I can read blogs on a bigger screen, but too heavy though ill yet 5 more years
• My respect for a mall goes up 100% if it has a bookstore, and a cat store
• Chinese book covers are nicer for some reason
• wish I can read a chinese book without feeling like I'm doing a test
• I wanna sit in a bookstore all day
• Wow they made Ghibli into books
• How do people internet in China i don't know how to use the internet at all without a vpn
• china TV (Xiaomi) is very interesting, it's like tiktok their interface is very addictive
