My Impression on Life in Changsha
(Editor`s note: Shadi, a student from Palastien, has spent almost seven years in Central South University, Changsha, for his bachelor`s and master`s degree)
How the residents looks like
First I think for a city the most important thing is how the residents look like.
It is well-known that the famous food in Changsha is ''Lajiao'', spicy food, and local people, especially the female (''Lameizi'') are thus thought to be warm-hearted and their tongue is really the pen of a ready writer. Whenever I walk along the street, there will be passers-by saying ''hello'' to me with shinning smile, which makes me warm. Besides sometimes when I paid visits to my Chinese friend's family, their relatives and neighbors would show their hospitality to me too, which really made me feel at home, although Palestine and China are so different.
My Favorite Changsha food
Changsha culture is fascinating
Changsha has Changed a lot
Since I have been living in Changsha for almost 7 years now, I have witnessed most of changes here: Changsha has changed a lot. I had lived for about twenty years in my country but hadn't experienced even a third of the changes that of Changsha. I remember when I first came here, shopping for food was not as convenient as it is today. There was only a big supermarket in the city center and the prices were not very competitive. A trip to the supermarket seemed to be rather a luxury than a necessity. Seven years later, supermarkets are everywhere; the nearest one is just across the road.
Besides the great changes there is something that you should never miss, if you don't mind about mouth burners, which I don't after seven years in Changsha, I would strongly recommend you to have a taste of ''Kouweixia'' which is my favorite food in Changsha. As for the place to go, my favorite is the Xiangjang River side. They gave it a facelift in recent years and it looks so nice. My friends often go there. You can walk for hours without stop. You can choose either strolling on the west bank or the east bank. Each of the sides has its own charm. You'll be sure to go there again and again.
My ideal life
In this fast pace of modern life, it is really crucial to slow down your tempo a little bit and enjoy your life with the people you love.
To tell you the truth, I couldn't be more satisfied with my life here. I didn't have any expectations like living in Paris or Vienna, having beautiful cars and villas but just leading a happy life. To live a simple, yet full of love life, that's my ideal life.
