Two Paragraph HW

Since I lived in a big city for 14 years when I was in China, I was so excited after noticed that my family will move to New York City in august, 2006. Because I really missed those days in China, walking with crowds on street everyday, smell of gasoline in the air and big buildings all around you...etc. That was also one big reason for me to decide to move to NYC. And the first time when I got to Flushing, suddenly everything came back to me, it just felt like; I have never leaved from China. Everything here in flushing was just so Asian. The people, street signs, store signboards, restaurants, music from the CD stores, KTVs......Everything, they just made me keep thinking maybe I am not in USA anymore. No wonder it is the second largest Chinatown in NYC（according to some of the research, they say Flushing is the largest Chinatown in NYC). I was just so glad, finally I made to NYC, because another thing I missed so much about China is the food. Chinese food is my favorite and will always be.

The area that I live is kind of suburb of Flushing, It is mostly residential around my neighborhood. But just a couple of days ago, I heard the Korean street is just several blocks from the place I live, however I really doubt that if it is some place that you can walk to. Anyway, maybe I will make a visit someday when I figure out the direction. Since there are not much commerce and business in my neighborhood, most of the time it is just awfully quiet here. You see nobody, not even a cat on the street. Sometimes when I walk down the street from the bus station, the neighborhood is really make me feel sad and nervous, especially during the night. One reason about this is most of the people live in this area drive, because you can always see enough cars park on street. It is very difficult to find a parking space during the night. Anyway, from the research I did online, I learned that Flushing is not only the second largest Chinatown here in NYC, it actually dominates the north central Queens of New York. It is also the biggest urban center in the borough, and the growing heart of Chinese and Korean communities.
