CHENGDU, A LIVABLE CITY IN CHINA

Thanks to Liu, I made it through Chengdu, because she helped me made friends with Yin (a friend of heir’s, studying in Chengdu University), who helped me find where I needed to go, and to eat dinner. So I have to be compelled to expertise living within the International Student Dorms for one night, which was okay. However I am therefore glad I selected the flats instead. I even have 2 very nice roommates and apparently, the apartment complicated was inbuilt the 1990's for a lot of wealthy individuals. The place is absolutely nice, too! Okay, well...actually, my roommates are awesome, however I feel my roommates solely came here to party...and in fact I came here to really study Chinese culture, language...and life, therefore hopefully, there will not be too several variations. Anyway, Chengdu is kind of completely different from Beijing and Haila'er--as expected. It's a lot of within the middle of China, or a bit southwest, and sits on the border of Tibet and "Eastern" China. So, there are several Tibetan influences in Chengdu, like Tibetan monks walking the street! Chengdu's weather is additionally terribly cloudy, wet, cool, misty and, well, pleasant. Even at this point of year, everything remains inexperienced. There are plants and vines hanging everywhere from people's flats, which supplies Chengdu its own distinctive characteristic: the buildings is also worn and tattered, however they're still stunning...at least on behalf of me. I conjointly noticed that Chengdu's lifestyle is kind of dichotomous, in comparison to Beijing's or Haila'er's (or perhaps, northern China in general). Chengdu's individuals are terribly relaxed. I aroused from sleep this morning to the voice of a person singing in his native Sichuan dialect...the calls of pigeons from a pigeon coop on a close-by disheveled apartment complicated...children enjoying within the street...men sharpening shoes on a facet walk...a group of individuals performing Tai Chi to the sound of a flute. It’s totally completely different from Beijing's pushy, fast-speaking individuals and Haila'er's traffic jams. No, here in Chengdu, individuals appear to require their time, to prevent and luxuriate in life. Albeit Chengdu could be a giant town, it does not appear all that crowded. Even in malls, nobody grabs your arm and begs you to shop for their item here, like they are doing in Beijing or Haila'er. And the individuals are friendly. they really smile at you--a sight you'd rarely see in Beijing. The taxi drivers try and create friendly conversations, albeit they do not perceive any English. individuals in grocery stores might stare as a result of i am a foreigner, and that they might have not seen a White person in their life, but...there's one thing concerning their countenance that tell me, they welcome me here.
