    Sorry for updating a little bit late this time. I was so busy with my rematch, new city new family new life. Friends, I am fine in Manhattan, though a little bit confused.

    1) Live: Feb is so so so special for me. Feb 1-16, I stayed with my old family in Philadelphia area, enjoying my last 2 weeks with the boys, we were really upset to leave. I made Chinese dishes for them, the boys loved my deserts, haha. From 17, I lived with my new family, exploring New Yorkers' life style. I mean, they live in the city during weekdays, a good apartment, upper west side, just next to the Central Park. Then go up to their country house in weekends, outdoor activities.

    These days, I worked with their nanny in the city, not too hard, I like walking the dog in the morning. Central Park is amazing, with fresh air, lovely dags, nice people. I have my days off Mon-Tue, so I went so whhere in the city for fun, though alone, but still enjoyable.

    2) Study: I went to Psychology in Swarthmore when I was in Philly. The professor was super nice. It was a shame I couldnot finish his great course. I kept searching courses in NYC. Yep, there are so many good universities and colleges nearby, but the tuition was too high for me to afford. Anyway, my courses are nearly decided with my host family, mayby I will go to night classes from late Mar.

    3) Activities: I went to United Nations. It was such a great trip in NYC, a landmark, a worthy place to visit. Attending Chinese tour with Chinese, I felt really happy. Yep, I am missing China, really, really. I mailed a UN postcard with UN stamp to my beloved Daddy and Mummy.

    Also, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the upper east side of NYC. It was a big art museum, having so many to see and learn.

    Honestly, I suffered a little bit in the new family. I mean, work longer hours than before, do more duty, less weekends off, smaller room, more expensive bagels and hot chocolate. But I am happier than before, at least no boring, I can go a lot of places by myself. Manhattan, really really amazing. Friends, maybe you can give me some ideas of interests to visit here. Love you!

  • 姐姐在圣约翰吗,我今年九月过去,您学什么的?
  • 美国高热量的食品确实是你适应当地生活一个不小的难题呢——印象中你一直比较丰满(笑)

    值得游览的地方?去Wall street看看如何?NY那个巨大的法国艺术品也是必到的景点吧。

    那么短的时间里在异乡更换定居地点,真是不容易的事情。本来正在努力适应的一种生活,却不得不又来到一个完全陌生的环境,一切从头开始。希望你在当地能得到友好的援助,尽快过上如意,也比较安定的生活。

    日前,在NY有个叫KMRB华语广播电台有播放“佛山一家人”,希望故乡的广播节目能给你一点慰籍
