China's Underground Cities!

This was brought to my attention on MLK Day.

(but serves no direct relevance to MLK day at all)

(just a random cool thing I learned about)

People living underground!

Seems like they've done it before.

Is it going to happen again?

Is it ALREADY happening??

This is Beijing's Underground City:

So it's been done!

That "Underground City" serves as a historical precedent to China's current/future plans for more subterraneous habitation (living underground). It seems like young people are more open to the idea, as shown in this recent Chinese news story:

^current world news!!!

Skating rinks and movie theaters underground...? underground schools/libraries?? I kinda see why younger people are more open to it... Cuz you can still be on the computer/play games LOL.

Probably wouldn't have rainy days. Just no sunny days either. And as the well-dressed Chinese lady said, no moon. :(

I'm more open to the idea of living on water. Or living on the moon.

I can also imagine living in a university in space, where people would be educated, and have families that get educated on the way to a distant location that would take lifetimes to reach.

Back to underground cities though...

This one in Turkey had an 8km tunnel that led to another underground city. 

It had a river, and air vents.

If you're anything like me, you might be thinking "What the f* dude?"

Yeah. But in the meantime, there's plenty of space to be used above ground. The most important space is the space around you, and the spaces that you put yourself in. Become more capable by learning to manipulate the space around you, with the skills/knowledge that you pick up. 

If you can figure that out, many amazing things happen.
