People are very friendly as compared to other big Asian cities. You can also get easy work as a tutor and make good extra cash.

I remember ending up in a hidden cocktail bar, a mexican rooftop party with 1 meter margaritas, spending a whole day going only to French places(?), visiting a store that only imported 2nd hand hiphop apparel, and throughout it all the best michelin star ramen. It just seemed endless, completely unrelated and incredibly fun. Six wee

It's just...boring and dull. Generally speaking people here, even millennials, don't speak English.
