I landed in Shanghai and found the streets surprisingly quiet
I just landed in Shanghai 🇨🇳 I’ve had the best shrimp wontons ( 鲜虾馄饨) and I can’t believe how quiet the streets are. There are people everywhere but EV adoption is huge, so it’s like a giant beast moving silently. My hotel room AC goes down to 18 (real) degree and Chinese people are super kind and helpful.
