what was your first impression of Shanghai when you arrived here?
Actually when I arrived in Shanghai the first time, I looked through the plane window, I just felt waw, that was so pretty. It was the evening and the city turned on the light. All was golden. Then I landed and I saw a lot of foreigners, so I just felt happy. Then I went to the center of the city, all was top buildings and nice environment, I knew coming to Shanghai was the right decision. But when I went to college I just felt upset because my college surroundings was very country and far away to the city.
