The most quiet part of learning memes on a budget

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

The detail that surprised me was how much the train station changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I started this becuase my busy month felt a little stuck, and silly seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

I tried this in Kuala Lumpur with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan

Really good advice, and it feels doable. My friend tried it in Seoul and had the opposite result

I'd love to see a follow-up after six weeks.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. Noticed the same thing in Buenos Aires. Small progress still counts.
