EDIT: another practical advantage: polyglots can code switch to quickly communicate things monoglots might have to resort to lengthy circumlocution to communicate.
EDIT2: Walkable city! Sweet! I don't know about Houston, but it looks way nicer than what I remember of LA or NYC. Street trees, even.
EDIT3: do I have these prices right? 8,8 CNY ~= 1 CHF? Meanwhile, YouTube is serving me local ads for kitchen knives at 330 CNY!
