    I really want to go to Xi An and some other historical/archaeological sites. Shanghai is also on the list as I’ve met some cool folks from there over the years. I used to watch a YouTube channel about cooking that I think was short there (日食記 or something similar).

      Oh, you should see the history, it’s incredible.

      But … the modern culture is… sad? Like a horrible cheap 70s ripoff of capitalism, but in a mean way.

      For the modern culture, I recommend Taiwan heartily.
