We are perhaps weeks away from finding out he’s making the WaPo journalists piss in bottles to meet quotas. He’s just that depraved about “”“efficiency”“”
I’m sure they got that juche in them, but I also think public works projects just move very slowly here, there’s only like one metro line in Hanoi for almost 9 million people and I don’t think they’ve even completed the first one in Ho Chi Minh City yet after 12 years of construction.
Not that I can really point fingers, the Copenhagen metro began planning in '90, construction in like the mid 90’s and the first line wasn’t done until 2002 after something like a doubling of the budget and years of delays.
I took the high speed train from Chengdu to Chongqing a few months ago and it was so quick I barely had time to get comfortable, like less than 1,5 hours from buying the ticket to getting off at Chongqing station.
A few weeks ago I went from Hue in the middle of Vietnam to Hanoi on a train and it was literally never faster than 60 km/h twice the distance but it took like 16 hours, Vietnam really needs to suck it up and ask China to build their railway up.

This remix was how I found them, got it off some old music blog back in 2010 or smth, always a banger when it comes up
Hell yeah, I listened to that band so much like 10 years ago. Same thing, not really my genre normally, but it was so catchy and soulful that it was in steady rotation.
Yeah he went from 'as a black, how do you like that rap music" to ‘ever hear of 4chan’ in two sentences, my guy is deeply /b/rained.
I was using the stores rolling tray which happened to be Rick and Morty themed and I was so scared he would see it and start quoting an entire season verbatim
I think it’s time for noise cancelling headphones death to America etc
He’s now moved on to explaining the meme ecosystem ‘it goes from 4chan to to Facebook’
Now he’s asking the black guy ‘as a black American how do you feel about black American culture being so widespread around the world’ goddamn this guy’s such a
Sitting in a thai coffee shop and the stoned American next to me found out that some other guy was Taiwanese. Naturally he asks if China is going to invade and tells the Taiwanese guy ‘don’t worry bro, America will save you’
Quick question, is China’s military bigger or smaller than Yemen’s?
No wait it was like 15, yeah thats a decent price
I think it was still like 30 yuan for a latte iirc?
Expenses while you’re here: 20-50 usd for high speed rail tickets between big cities, streetfood/hole in the wall stuff is 1-2 usd, sit down restaurants usually 10-20 usd. Coffee is a bit expensive (4-5 usd usually, but if you just drink tea it’s only about a dollar.)
If you don’t mind staying in relatively crappy hotels/hostels you can get by with paying 5-10 usd a night, but you have to make sure they actually have a license to host foreigners.

Like, if you wrote a sci-fi or fantasy novel that was basically a blow-by-blow account of the lead up to the October Revolution and what followed it in the proceeding 75 or so years except in a different settings using different names, you’re going to find that the overwhelming majority of people are going to take a pro-soviet position without realising it.
Brb going to write this book
