We made it to Shenzhen! What I didn't expect at all: The amount of electric scooters! 🛵🛵🛵
People are using them to take their kids somewhere, to lug around packages, to deliver food, just to get from A to B quickly ...
They also drive on the sidewalk, and honk a lot, meep meep!

@blinry today I learned China has had a number of consumer trade-in schemes over the last several years, so people get an incentive to trade-in a fossil fuel vehicle for an electric one, or a fire-prone older electric model for a new one. (it covers a lot of other things as well, China is trying hard to boost domestic consumption). It seems to be working!

@blinry please be careful, they are otherwise so quiet and fast, I nearly got run over hard a couple of times.

Arriving in mainland China, I'm feeling quite some culture shock, more than in Hong Kong:
English doesn't get you very far here, most signage is just in Chinese, and communicating with people involves translation apps (or gesturing).
Payment is done neither by cash nor by credit card – instead, you need special apps like AliPay. Some services seem to require a WeChat account, which I didn't manage to install on my phone yet, despite trying a lot. :/

@blinry I wish they could take hold here. I'm currently listening to a never ending orchestra of the petrol-powered ones that people run at way too high rev.

And walking around feels stressful because of the e-scooters...
But many things are super interesting! Obviously the high-tech malls! Cheap, fun food. There's rental infrastructure for power banks? A pretty mixture of sky scrapers and parks.

The piano cabin is impressive, a very good idea!

@blinry the power banks are necessary because you do so much on a phone. Imagine being far away from home with 5% battery. You will not be able to take a metro, call a cab or maybe not even know how to get home on foot without a phone.

@owiecc Makes sense! But I guess you also need a phone to rent them, so you need to make sure not to run completely out of power?

@blinry but then almost everyone has a power bank so people are probably helping each other out.

They'll have to release a new Zelda game before I'll think about buying a Switch 2.

@giuglionasi ma le modifiche le hai lette o per farti un giudizio ti basi sulle sparate a SX o DX?
Vogliamo la libertà e poi rinunciano a farci un giudizio libero da condizionamenti, andando alla fonte?
