okay so this is hard to explain and i've never been able to put it into words properly but i'll try.

since i was a kid i've noticed that places don't just look different, they feel different. not visually. more like from the inside. like each place has its own texture or frequency or something. i don't know the right word for it.

and here's the weird part that feeling is kind of contagious between places.

like when i watch a movie from home, after a while my home and the places in the movie start feeling the same. and if i go watch that same movie at a friend's place, suddenly the movie takes on the feel of their house. and when i come back home, my own home feels like my friend's house for a bit. it takes time to feel like mine again.

i grew up in dubai and had never really left the city. so i saw mumbai only through tv, movies, youtube etc. i had this whole mental picture of what it would feel like to be there.

then i finally visited and it felt completely off. not bad. just nothing like i imagined.

i was thinking about why and i think i figured it out i flew there. so the last place i was actually present in was the area around dubai airport (which itself feels really different from my neighborhood). by the time i landed in mumbai, it just felt like a continuation of the airport area. like mumbai inherited that feeling instead of having its own.

and i think the reason is the "anchor" doesn't shift when you physically arrive somewhere new. it shifts when your attention actually registers that you've moved. i was present in the airport area. i wasn't really present during the flight. so mumbai just got slotted into whatever the airport felt like.

the clearest example of this happened when i was little.

i was watching a movie at home. then we went out for dinner at some new restaurant. and when i got there, the restaurant felt exactly like the place in the movie. not looked like felt like.

i think what happened is i was so caught up in the movie that i wasn't paying attention during the drive. so my brain never registered the transition. the travel basically disappeared. i went from my couch to the restaurant still carrying the movie's feeling. it was like teleporting.

so i think what's actually happening is the feel of a place isn't really about the place. it's about where your attention was when you arrived there.

also worth saying it's almost always indoor spaces where i can actually feel this properly. outside there's too much going on, too much noise and movement, and the feeling just gets drowned out before it can settle.

and the imagined version of mumbai i had? looking back, it was never really mumbai. it was me sitting in dubai imagining mumbai. the feeling i associated with it was always my home's feeling filtered through a screen. so of course the real place felt different. the imagined version was never about that city at all.

does anyone else experience this or is it just me lol. i've never had a word for it. closest i've found is something called "environmental anchoring" or the difference between knowing a place abstractly vs actually having lived in it. but those don't fully capture it either.
