What's this "still do traveling"?

I've never been able to afford to travel, so in that regard nothing will change.

But, living off-grid as much as possible sounds appealing. I don't know about the reality, though. Ironically, being an introvert would make it harder to live off-grid, methinks.

Inb4 they start doing internal checkpoints...

ahem China ahem

(You have to present your ID before being able to purchase long distance train tickets...)

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Well, I suppose if they put a checkpoint between here and the grocery store...

I haven't been more than 30 miles from my house in 15 years. I'd love to, but I can't really.

that's a throwback to peasants needing travel papers to leave the lands of their lords. good to see china has come so far from their imperial roots.

No permission to go to public school in Guangzhou even though me and my older brother were born in Guangzhou and grew up native Bilingual Cantonese & Mandarin... :(

I cant even call myself a 广州人 (Guangzhou-er) since I never got Guangzhou Hukou...

It's somehow easier to get American Citizenship than a Guangzhou Hukou... lmfao wtf

Travel does not have to involve lots of money. I live 9 km from the French border and 25 km from the Swiss border. Travelling there costs me the price of a train ticket.

I take my biometric passport with me, of course.
