Well, actually, since I was born, I have been living in the west north part of city, which is far away from the down town. In the past 18 years, it was still a village, but with the development of urbanization, it changed a lot now. I especially enjoy the place where I live now, because it's a perfect place to catch bus , subway or trains. Besides, I also live with my parents, you know , cause I have a family of three. I mean this kind of place may be quiet and slow for their life. You know that I hope they can never grow old, but they can't. In fact, they are almost 50 years old, that's way we prefer to live in that place, well that's my point.
Well, the most thing that I dislike is the decoration of my apartment. As I've mentioned before, I've been living in this place since I was born. So, you can imagine, the decoration of the apartment is really old fashioned and some furniture is broken. I hope that I can move to new house in next few years or make a complete over haull for the apartment at least.
Well, there is no doubt that most farvorite room is bed room. Because it's not only a place for me to sleep but also to relax. Every time that I return from school with a tired body, I will go to bedroom for sleeping. Actually, I set my computer in my bedroom, so I will relax myself by playing games in the bedroom.
Well, my bedroom is not that spacious, but it's well- furnished. First, I have a king-sized bed, and I often lie there to sleep or watch movie on laptop. Next to my bed is a desk where I study and code on laptop. You know, I'm a programmer, so I don't clean my room very often, which makes my room really messy. At the right side of my bed, there's a large window on the wall. It makes the room quite bright, and I like that very much.
Actually, the apartment that I live in is in the side of the main road of our district. Compared with other apartment, I can see many people come home from workplace and cars. And I can also see one river behind the apartment. This river separte our district with another one, and as far as I remembered that some people even would fish there. The most interesting thing that I remeber was that I would watching the ouside of the window after home work to relax when I was a kid. Because my mother locked me in the house in order to keep me safe.
Honestly speaking, I prefer to live in a house. First, the area house is usally very large, and some house even have a graden. Garden is a perfect place for me who have pets. Second, there is only one family in a house and it's totally different with that in apartment. I believe that one always want to live in a house which belongs to himself.
Well, frankly speaking, it's really a difficult question for me. As for myself, I will study overseas and look for job there as expected. But overseas life is not as easy as I imagine for my parents, they need to learn a new language and to be suited to the new environment. So, I prefer the overseas life, but if my parents insist to live in China, maybe I need to have two home, one is in China and another is overoverseas.
Absoultely, the public transport is so convenient that you can go home by different vechiles. Because of the sharing bikes, subway, bus and taxi, I can go anywhere in Hangzhou without walking. As for my home, there is a subway station in front of our apartment. I only need to walk for 10mins or ride bike in 5mins. And there are 3 bus stop around our district and the nearest one is even beside the main gate. So you can imagine now how convenient the public transport is.
Emm, My hometown is the city where I live, Hangzhou. Hangzhou is famous for its beautiful landscape, local speciality, people and culture. As for lanscape, there are well-known West Lake, Leifeng Tower, and North high peak. There is also an romantic story about Leifeng Tower. A snake girl fell in love with a human, but a monk named Fahai put the girl under the tower. At last the girl and the boy fight with the monk and they get together. As for the local speciality, I like the Longjing tea, which has a indescriable smell but enjoyable. At last, the life in Hangzhou is become a fast-paced lifestyle gradually, like that in Beijing or Shanghai, but I enjoy it.
Well, my home town is harmonious, modern and beautiful, but there are still something need to change. First, traffic jam of Hanghzou is the most serious in the whole country. Although subway and sharing bikes have alleviated alot, but not quite enough. Second, some old building in the downtown district need to be repaired compeletly or pulled down. These old building are always the hidden danger and may influence the security of the people living there.
Emm, in fact I'm a foodie, espically enjoying the roast and Japanese noodles. So I usually go to the BBQ resturant or Japanese resturant with my friends. Although the food there is really delicious, prices are also very high. Sometimes, we choose some local resturant because the prices there are very cheap. Besides eating, we also need to relax ourself, karaoke is a common choice for me. Singing is a direct way for me to release my pressure.
Well I witnessed the changes that happend in the part where I live. I have been living in the south west part of Hangzhou since I was born. When I was a 4 years old, there were still many wheat fields. You could even saw the flowers beside the road. But they were all gone now and replaced by high building , wide road, and shopping centre. Urbanization bring us convinence but also take away the original nature view from us.
The most interesting part of the city , I think , is the Longxiang Bridge. This area is the most crowded in Hangzhou. It's at the right side of the West Lake, and surrounded by a lot of shopping malls and resturants. Frankly speaking, this the best place for young. You can buy clothes, shoes or anything else in the shopping mall. What's more, the only Apple Store in Zhejiang is also located in this area. As for resturant, there are many kinds of food, including local food, Japanese food, American food and so on. Besides, you can also walk to the West Lake to enjoy the beautiful landscape, especially the music fountain.
Emm, as for life style, it's usally a fast-paced life in big cities, because every one is busy with their work. But in small cities, life seems much more leisured. As for work, working in the big cities means much more oppotunity, you can gain much more offer and salary, which is much higher than that in small cities.
Well, I remember a lot of childhood friend, but here I'm going to talk about the most familiar childhood friend for me called FXD. He was a transfer student and the first time that I met him was in 2003 when I was a pupil. Becuase our ways home were similiar, we often went home together and talked a alot on the way. Usually, we shared about the interesting thing that we experience in school, said some jokes about teachers or the pretty girls. As time went on, both of us became much more familiar with others, then, we became good friends. Now, I can still remeber the time that we went home and went to school. But this is not the main reason why I remember him well. In fact, our relationship is delicate. we are not only just friends, but also competiters. We would compete with each other in many fields, ranging from acdemic subjects to sports activities. Neither of us would admit that he was loser. It has been long time since I saw him last time, and I knew that he went to USA for graduate. And as a friend, I do hope he can achieve something in his field.
Well there are not so many talkative people around me in my life. Maybe it's because I'm the most talkative person in my friend circle You might have noticed that most programmer are quiet, and concentrate on coding all the time. I'm not only shows my outgoing personality but also don't bother listen and share my mindset to others in my life.And I'm such a chatterbox that you even don't need anything for entertainment when I'm aournd. Trust me. I' m fond of so many regions, such as technology, music, game, dance, instrument, history and so on. I can use the easiest word to make you understand the princple of technology, and I can tell you the story in so much detail that you feel you have actually seen the movie. So chatting with me is enjoyable and you can learn a lot of new ideas. But sometimes, this talkative nature put me in a lot of trouble. I can still remember that I've been punished in class for talking too much when I was a pupil. Although I've been punished for so many times, this characteristic is still not changed. Maybe you have a doubt why I can talk so much. On one hand, I have sufficient knowledge in my mind. On the other hand, I believe I can bring much happiness to others. From the chatting, they are usually very cheerful. That's why I'm so talkative.
The building that I'm going to talk about is the Leifeng Tower, which is called Leifeng Pagoda in English. It's a traditional Chinese tower located in Hangzhou. The tower once fell down in 1924, and was rebuilt in 2002 at the same place. The first time I went there was probably 10 years ago when I was a kid, and I was too young to remember details of that experience. So, I really want to visit there again If I have chance. This pagoda is different with other towers in China. It has it own unique legend in it, and this tower looks so pretty in evening glow. And the scenery even was choosen as the ten charms of the West Lake. Why I'm so fascinated by this building? Well I feel that the most important reason is that the mysterious legend that tells that the snake white who loves a human named Xuxian was put under the pagoada by Fahai. This drives me curious and I know that is a mythology. What's more, it's also an antique building that helps enhance my understanding of the ancient history in China.
