I've been here for 2 weeks so far and it's been smooth sailing. The small town I'm in (900 people and one snow leopard!) only has one ICA, a restaurant and a sports hall. That's about it!

Public transport is also very different, the buses run about once every hour. Thankfully the ICA doubles as a post office so stuff I order online can be picked up there.

I'll decide next week if I'm staying longer than November - likely will but I'll see how next week goes. Still pretty scary to be doing game dev on my own without any income but with the strikes still ongoing I think I made the right choice.
