3. Test once while capping nights early — not on a holiday schedule.

Context

Here's a longer, practical take on Entertainment Guide for Chengdu Settlers — written for people building a life in Chengdu, not collecting weekend trophies.

The stumble I still see weekly: only meeting people in tourist bars.

Copying someone else's routine from a different district and different job is how people waste their first quarter.

If a plan only works when you're energetic and the sky is perfect, it isn't a plan. It's a mood.

If you remember nothing else

Defaults beat novelty. Near beats famous. Dated notes beat memory.

Protect your Tuesday-night self. That's who has to live with the plan.
