You can't spell 'vector field' without me, Professor!

I don't think I'd ever have cause to visit but this Wired piece about it always made it seem like a really unique place

so I just play Shenzen I/O instead

last time I was there was about 15 years ago and it was a grimy and depressing place, and you couldn’t eat anywhere outside the fancy foreigner hotel because it would destroy your delicate western intestines. I imagine it’s probably improved since then
