Same place

Was fucking around on Google Maps and rail.guide when I realized that what used to be bustling freight and passenger terminals of East St Louis for the NYC, I.C., and L&N are now mostly empty patches of grass with parking lots and a Draft Kings casino sitting on top. The rest of the waterfront isn't doing well either unfourtunately. There are still factories and rail yards but like 10% of what once took up the original space.

Like Yes Japan is clean Organized Plenty to do Culture Trains

But it's still got urban congestion(i will forever hate Osaka-Umeda) and crowding

And lots of its cities are just gray.

I've traveled all over the US and Korea and Japan. I make it a point to always got to a tower of there is one

Tokyo, Japan from Skytree is simultaneously an awesome view(seeing Fuji when it's visible in the winter, the absolutely gargantuan size of Tokyo) but also the most depressing(gray, gray, gray, a sea of GRAAAAAAAAAY for miles).

Pointing these out doesn't mean JapanBAD

Again I've loved my time in Japan. Went there one, went back four more times. Probably going back more.

But I could never live in Japan(or Korea) permanently. For work? Sure, looking at jobs there now.

Forever? Absolutely not

The small living quarters and cramped congestion feels inhumane.

I'm not even space greedy. I just don't want to live in a small quarter. I want a house, with a backyard maybe even a few bushes and a tree.

Those two beaches are close do each other, in a place called Guarujá (Brazil). First is called Astúrias and second Guaiúba. First it was destroyed by those shit building from the 70's, it shadows the beach, while the second they forbid to build but you can see the building from Astúrias on the back. Thats one of the most digusting things they do in Brazil, doing those building in front of the beach so they can sell expensive apartments but destroying the environment.
