Beijing: My 10,001st Reason to Say 'Nope!'
-
The traffic is too chaotic. Major intersections surprisingly don't even have separate left-turn signals. Even when pedestrians have a green light, cars can still turn left and they don't yield. As a tourist, I was genuinely shocked.
-
I feel like people in Beijing have this sense of superiority, as if Beijing has to be the best place in the country and they can't stand anyone saying otherwise. I won't be swayed by that thinking. I'm already very unhappy here, and the only way to change things is to leave. I visited Hangzhou last month and was so happy; time seemed to slow down, like a day actually had 24 hours. The pace in Beijing is just too fast, there's no time to really experience life.

You can tell from the comments there's a lot of negativity.

So, are there any cities with good weather? I've also grown tired of Beijing's climate these past couple of years. Sigh

Your username is hilarious.

If it weren't for life's pressures and a strange twist of fate, who would willingly choose to stay long-term in a place like this, always feeling subordinate?
-
Damn, that's so true! I've never seen discussions about the differences between locals and outsiders in any other city-related topic.
-
So true.

Just realized the OP studied in Chengdu. I'm from Chengdu, haha!

You can tell just by looking at the comments... You're really brave for posting this.

[Hehe] Actually, I try to be objective and say both good and bad things, but unfortunately, it's the criticisms that people tend to notice more.
