The first shift comes from the pace. Time genuinely moves differently here. Cafés are designed for connection, the kind of places where you can walk in alone, open your laptop, and somehow end up meeting someone in the exact same place in their journey.

And that’s when you finally notice how much unnecessary speed you’ve been absorbing back home.
