People praise
  • nostalgia for former residents
  • past cleanliness
  • city charm in old footage
  • campus and student life
People warn about
  • cleanliness decline over time
  • quiet markets during festivals
  • little current remote-work info
  • Former residents miss the city and want to return.
  • Commenters praise the 1900 footage more than the city itself.
  • Older accounts suggest the city was cleaner in the past.
  • Current firsthand info on cost, internet and daily life is scarce.
  • Student campus videos show a lively but narrow, insular slice of life.
