what i love about xiamen:
- the weather. having come from sub-zero NYC this is a most gentle easing into tropical thermal contrast for next week
- plentifully available and scrupulously clean public restrooms with working locks. not always with TP, mind you, but one is grateful not to have to hunt
- AND automatic toilet flush connected to the door locking mechanism. removes the need for contact with toilet hardware
- app-based purchasing. removes the need for human contact and use of physical cash while allowing advance orders and just-in-time collections. our favorite app must be the luckin one
- didi-based cabbing. removes the need for inaccurate descriptions accent interpretation and haggling. not to mention the pinpoint accuracy of their GPS
what i hate about xiamen:
- the permanent haze of tobacco smoke in the air, owing to an inordinate number of smokers in public
- the shared pavements. with bicycles PMDs carts and motorcycles. although to be fair the pavements are wide and the non-peds are gentle
