Water market in Thailand. Here, people sell things on the water by boat. This would be regulated into oblivion in the United States. Why you wouldn’t be able to do anything because of “mah children!”via
I liked the little neighborhood shops. They have been mostly zoned and regulated out of existence here. I liked how you did not need a vehicle to go to a super market. I liked the orderliness of driving and the way we people lined up and waited their turn for things. I liked how I could go anywhere and never worry about what kind of neighborhood I may be entering. I liked how I did not feel nervous when I saw a police officer. I liked being able to enjoy a beer anywhere. I liked the public transportation, clean and orderly and no drunks and derelicts acting up. I liked how an old person could run a group of kids off or correct them without fear of repercussions. I liked how Christmas was short and sweet, not a 4 month sale. I liked being able to buy a cheap good used car. Just a few of the things.
I missed my guns and shooting though.
A number of these things, not all, applied to Korea as well.

they are calling those pop-up shops/markets in the US these days
Things like airbnb, lyft, and uber show that the taxes and fixed prices are way to high for hotel and taxi services. And that isn’t just in the US but globally.
How about throwing out 90% of the regulatory red tape and confiscatory taxes (upwards of 30%) on consumers who use these services?
Creating some ‘new’ exempt service isn’t really any better. Trash the monopoly of entry into taxi service.
The nervousness around police-officers is sooo true.
