It’s literally just a rainy street at night, why are you all acting like it looks hellish

In Asia hell is other people. That IS a calming walk.

As an autistic person, this image makes me want to die. Peace and love to all people and cultures but I could not handle this on the daily lmao

Yes I am Asian and autistic as well. This is a sensory nightmare. I have lived it. I would rather not ever again. But I take those Asian motorcycle riding skills with me.

I find peace in the solitude of the Vegas desert. And fun when I want. Anytime I want.

I lived in Seoul for three years. I miss how crowded it is. I live in a large city in Canada now and it always feels empty.

There's just such a huge difference in the quality of the crowd though. It's hard to explain - Seoul is very crowded, but people know how to act/navigate crowds so it's actually... nice?

In the US and Canada, crowds like that are rare and most commonly in stressful situations (like Christmas shopping) so no one knows what to do and everyone is pissed off.

Very, very different feel being in a place that's always crowded compared to a place where it's the exception not the rule.

Still doesn't beat the feelings of short lines and spacious aisles in shopping centers. That's part of the lure of the American dream to Asian immigrants.

If I want to recreate the experience I just go to Chinatown in Vegas lol. 100% authentic including all the bad driving and horrible parking.
