50 Things I Like About My Current City

2/24/2009

0 Comments

 
1. The view from my living room window seat
2. Porch nights with my roommate
3. Starbucks mugs are actually cute here
4. Reading ridiculous Asian fashion magazines while eating raisin zhou on slow mornings with Talia
5. Sitting on the little blue square of foam at the front of the party bus because all the seats are gone
6. Christmas parties with brothers and sisters
7. Watching the building under construction across the way get higher and higher every month - how tall will it be in the end anyways?
8. The blind erhu players downtown
9. Watching people do random stuff on their roofs
10. The fabric market in all its craziness
11. The bright lights downtown
12. The skittles building
13. Crazy taxi rides with the windows rolled down on a hot summer night
14. Yummy street food in my neighborhood
15. Carlsberg drafts at the beer garden
16. How quiet the tea house is (most of the time)
17. Pork strips at Asijen Ramen
18. The graffiti art neighborhood near the arts school
19. The red sparkle hot pot restaurant
20. McDonald's chocolate sundays
21. Looking at the city lights from my roof
22. The fresh produce market across the street
23. The lack of other foreigners
24. Cameron and Ben, some of the most awesome little kids
25. The foster kids I get to play with
26. Headwashes are brilliant and cheap
27. Being able to bring my own DVD to watch at the pedicure place
28. Hong Ya Dong - especially the pirate ship and sitting outside at the bar in nice weather
29. Bowling
30. It makes me happy that they have an ice skating rink, but it is a horrible rink, so I'm conflicted on this
31. Oh my gosh, how could I have forgotten about it until number thirty-one?? I LOVE the flower market!
32. The little gang of neighborhood girls who have become my friends
33. The daily surprise of never knowing what interesting thing has appeared in the square over night... especially when a circus comes through
34. The old ladies dance club
35. One song dance parties in the elevator
36. Back room DVD sales
37. Playing Russian roulette with every bottle of red wine I buy
38. Watching fireworks hit the building next store
39. 奶奶们
40. Flying kites at the point
41. Buying fresh mangos, bananas, and apples at the fruit stand
42. Cheap massages

Ok, so maybe I really can only think of 39 things, although I have been working on this list for five days. I will keep adding to it, though. I trust that eventually I will make fifty.
