Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 5 months. The surprising part is easy to underestimate. I love details that only make sense once you've been there.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. The a coworking table detail changes the whole answer.

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

@ph_panda95 I like this more than the top-level advice.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

The istanbul angle is what sold me. A little friction removed goes a long way. This makes me want to look at a map for an hour.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. The busy month version is even more interesting.

This made me smile more than expected. The commute version is even more interesting.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. The delightful part is easy to underestimate. Public transit stories are secretly sociology stories.
