No, we don’t have 10-minute deliveries. But when there’s a 7-Eleven every few hundred meters, you rarely need them.”Shreya shared, “People are kind. Strangers smile. They hold doors open. They respect personal space. Most interactions feel less transactional and more human. As a woman, walking home late at night doesn’t feel like a risk assessment exercise. I don’t find myself constantly staying hyper-vigilant.The post continued to highlight the differences in lifestyles between the two countries. “And perhaps the biggest one: time. It doesn’t feel like life is slipping away in traffic. Less time commuting. More time walking. More time working from cafés. More time together.”The post is accompanied by a video that shows glimpses of the couple’s life.
