Great explanation :) Thank you!
Wow, awesome!!!!
Well, same culture thing also helps if you're planning to work in the state department, or the diplomacy offices: you travel to the towns in the cities which have the ethnic groups you're trying to learn to work with, and that'll help you to navigate that as a beginning.
I'd say one big thing: the preservation of food technologies drastically increased; and so you could feed more people with the work of fewer farmers; hence you could afford, supply-wise, to have larger cities than ever before in human history.
Always enjoy your videos sir!
sir? are you deaf?

Simple solution to the question of what lead to the explosion of population in cities in those decades: access to good jobs... it really was akin to the Cambrian Explosion: an animal's "niche" is it's job/how it makes its living... well, in this case; the ability to make a living drastically increased, as did the ability to house these people who were working there as well. End result: both habitat/housing, and jobs/niches, drastically skyrocketed in the cities, and so did the population. Therefore, if you compare cities in those days to an environment in the Cambrian, I'd pick a reef: easy access to good nutrients via jobs, and housing, as well as adaquite protection, and that sums it up nicely. What say you with regard to this analogy?
Same neighborhoods? Yeah, that makes perfect sense; plus you'd know you'd have people to turn to to help you find your way around until you're established in the new town or city or country you'd moved to as well; in addition to navigational aids of finding your way around. Added to that, you're less likely to be taken for a ride by them, and you'd know how to solve the problems: same culture.

Why do I think that these children immigrated to the States? Well, sometimes, historically, children were sent into another land to learn skills; and those days they were treated as small adults, such as Lee Chew mentions in summary of his letter, as well as how he sent some money back to China for his family. It would be highly unusual for a boy of high school age to move on his own to another continent, especially nowadays, so not only was the culture different then as opposed to now, but also he was likely with some of his own family here on this continent at that.
He also says he was baffled by his employer, as he didn't really understand her instructions at the time- language barrier- but he had to be shown the procedures, once done, he was proficient as a "butler" of a sort for her family; and to his credit: he was a hard worker.
