It's amazing to walk around the street in pajamas. I was shocked when I first came here. Agree with upstairs, Yueyang people are comfortable and broad-minded. Now I wear pajamas to buy food every day, hahaha. Vegetables and various cooking accessories are more than those in the north. Vegetables generally only eat leaves, not roots. The diet is basically fish and shrimp, rice noodles and heavy rice. There are not many patterns, but it tastes good. In addition, there are very few people in urban areas, and there are often only a few people in supermarkets, so it is more convenient to buy things. I checked the population of Yueyang 5.5 million before I came here. I wonder why there are so few people. Later, I learned that it was because there were many people in the counties around Yueyang, and there were only 3 million people in the urban area. In addition, the urban area is relatively small, so it is convenient to go anywhere. Most parking spaces are free, and there are no traffic jams during rush hours. It is normal to visit three or four places a day. Friends can call 15-30 minutes.
Summer in Yueyang is a typical southern summer. It's muggy, it's still hot after dark. When I went downstairs, my coat was wet, and I basically had to take a shower and turn on the air conditioner. It's wet and cold in winter, and there's no heating-so everyone relies on a foot stove. This thing is really amazing. It costs tens of dollars each. It is both cheap and practical. It is recommended to all Americans that getting up in the winter morning, wrapping the quilt, opening the foot-roasting stove and holding a cup of hot coffee is like being in heaven.
Yueyang's air is also very good, which makes people relaxed and happy. Smoking can make people healthy. My girlfriend in Yueyang must say that the air in Yueyang is average. I think it is necessary to take her to Beijing, Xi and Zhengzhou to experience it, and let her know how precious the air in Yueyang is.
The middle-aged and elderly people in Yueyang chat loudly, comparable to the old farmers in northern Shaanxi who are herding sheep there. My family lives on the fourth floor, and the grandfathers on the first floor can hear every word when chatting. However, Yueyang people are generally polite and gentle, quarreling and bickering, and rarely fighting.
But I have contacted some Yueyang people (mainly young people) and found that many Yueyang people have a low sense of identity with Yueyang. I always hear them say that Yueyang is useless (and many young people go to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Changsha), and rarely agree with the goodness of their hometown. As a foreigner, I don't understand. Of course, it may just be the circle I know. Anyway, I like it here very much, and I'm thinking about buying a house near Sheng 'an Temple.
