During this thanksgiving break, I had the chance to see the most famous city of the entire world--- New York City. I was so enjoyable about this trip and I can say that this city made me not want to leave.
First, I want to talk about the buildings, especially in Manhattan. I love the skyscrapers there. Compare to NYC, I feel that buildings in this small town, where I currently stay is so damn low. Here, I have never seen a building over 20 layers and I can easily see the top of the buildings. While in Manhattan, things are so different, even if you look up very high, you can still not see the top of the building in many times because they are so high. Funny story, I was going to see the Empire State Building at one night when I was there. When I finally got there, I was told that I can’t see anything at the top of this skyscraper as a result that the top of the building has already stretched into the cloud and nothing can be seen inside the cloud. I looked up to the Empire State Building on the road and wanted to see how the top looks like, but I failed because the top were inside the cloud. The only thing that I saw that night was the vague light of the top. There are a lot of other buildings in Manhattan like the Empire State Building. Though not that much tall, you still can’t easily look up and see the top of the building. Standing among those tall buildings, I felt that even in the day time it’s still dark because those buildings are so high that they block the sunlight. Under this circumstance, people usually have two different feelings. One is that just walk and never trying to see the sunlight, the other is going to the top of those buildings and enjoys the sunlight. Definitely, I will choose the latter one. Deep in my heart, I have the thoughts of conquering all of these building and standing on the top to see all the things beneath me. Everything has to look up to see me, which is exactly I want. Suddenly, I have the feeling not want to stay here anymore. Is it just a temporary feeling or always the desire deep in my heart? Let’s wait and see. Hope I can figure it out soon.
Second, I want to talk about food. Foods in NYC rock, especially the Chinese food. How can I say? Let me put it in this way. Living in NYC, you just feel like being in China. There is a district called flushing where gathering almost all the Chinese. Fortunately, I ate a lot Chinese foods where I can’t eat in the Chinese restaurant here in UIUC. I felt like the exact flavor like home and food there cover the whole parts of food in different areas in China. It really made me not want to go back here, I have to say this. Also there are a lot of restaurants which cover the whole delicious foods all over the world. More fortunately, I ate at a Japanese food restaurant which is a buffet and most important is that Japanese food is my favorite foreign food. I enjoyed the meal and was so full. But, I was still happy and just felt like being in my hometown and having Japanese food.
In conclusion, NYC rocks. Actually, I think I am about to considering something about transferring.
