    Once you're here, you're basically Indian. Welcome to 'Shen-Delhi'.

        Yeah, it's true. There are sea views, plenty of parks, and clean public restrooms, but the daily hassle of just walking around can overshadow all of that... especially since you're constantly on foot.

          It looks like the government is starting to take this seriously. Some districts are already piloting new approaches and studying these issues. Hopefully, things will keep improving.

            The last time I complained about this Shenzhen issue, several people actually attacked me for it, haha. I was completely baffled.

              The Greater Bay Area's 'Pioneer Zone for E-scooters.' E-scooters, secondhand smoke, street BBQ, and spitting everywhere – Shenzhen's four 'signature features.' An 'international metropolis' and a 'National Civilized and Sanitary City,' right. Hahahaha. Just laughing as I pass by.

                  I'm completely disillusioned with Shenzhen now. [facepalm]

                    I really want to ask Shenzhen's leaders: when you eventually leave, will you take all these e-scooters with you?

                      Is this really what a first-tier city is supposed to look like? ...

                        Shenzhen's specialties: e-scooters and e-bikes, roadside stalls.

                          Cockroaches, vicious mosquitoes, and endless rain.
