Favorite place

My favorite place in Carbondale is Hunan Restaurant, because I can eat very tasty Chinese food there. After I came to Carbondale I didn't eat delicious food and I missed Chinese food very much. When I went to Hunan to eat Chinese food, the taste was wonderful, just like in China. It's as delicious as a Chinese restaurant and I think it's pretty much the same as a Chinese restaurant. The only thing different is it's a little bit sweet and it has a different language. It's suitable American style, so ti's a little sweeter than a Chinese restaurant. And the menu is English, even though there is a Chinese menu for Chinese people, but the main menu is English.

The most stress thing in Carbondale is the weather. I remember it was very cold when i first got here in March. Sometimes it turns very warm, so that I can put on thin clothes. But after several days it turns very cold suddenly. It is very different from China, I cannot stand it. And now, it is too hot and wet outside, but in the CESL office it is so cold that I need a cardigan or coat with me every day. I don't like wet weather because when I walk outside at night, my body turns wet, and makes me feel uncomfortable. It is always terrible to breathe hot and wet weather first when I go outside. I hate tornados every May each year, and Carbondale doesn't offer electricity for us. It's terrible to live in Carbondale without all electronic things.

Carbondale

I felt disappointed when I went to Carbondale. It's totally different from the city that I came from. There are not many buildings and not many people here, just countryside. I saw many squirrels around town; its surprised me. And I also heard people say I could see deer sometimes. In my country, it is very rare to see squirrels and deer in a city. In China, I can find markets anywhere, but here I cannot find a market easily. There are just few markets here; it also surprised me. It's clean because there are not many cars. And it's beautiful countryside because there are many flowers and trees.
