okay. this place feels... kind of heavy. locals complain about the constant noise spill-over from nearby apartments, dragging their moods down. i spent two hours chasing pigeons outside my tiny window, hoping to be invisible to the stress, but it just gets louder. the sheer density feels overwhelming, less vibrant than expected, more like breathing hard together. yet inside, there are safe spaces. a tiny café down a corner, a quiet park tucked behind a building, those are pockets of calm. finding them requires effort, like hunting, which is exhausting. the constant hum masks much discomfort beneath it all.
