Shanghai: That Utterly Draining Vibe
-
That's so true. I don't feel as tired on the Hangzhou subway.
-
A 'He Huo Ren' (fellow fan)?
-
Yes, a super, super early 'He Huo Ren'!
-
Seriously, the subway journeys are so long. In Hangzhou, 11 stops take about half an hour, but in Shanghai, it feels like 40 to 50 minutes. It just feels incredibly far.
-
Same here. Since I arrived in Shanghai a few days ago, everyone on the subway just gives off this vibe of being exhausted and unhappy...
-
This city can definitely be tiring.
-
When I was visiting Beijing for fun, as soon as I got on the subway, I felt like I was just there to work, not on holiday. So exhausting.
-
That's the big city vibe for you, hahaha!
-
My very first day in Shanghai, and I already felt this overwhelming tiredness. Just couldn't bring myself to feel happy.
-
Sweetie, that's just how big cities are. If you're unhappy, perhaps consider moving to a different city, one that's a better fit for you and your lifestyle.
-
I'm in Shanghai today, and I feel super tired too.
-
Same here! +1
-
Just try to relax. You're on vacation to have fun, it's not like you're here for work.
-
True. Next time I travel for fun, I'll definitely try to be more laid-back about it.
-
I actually find visiting Shanghai for fun pretty relaxing. Older people here seem to have their own distinct, unhurried vibe.
