I lived and worked in chengdu in 2014 for 6 month. I think it was the most confortable time after graduated from university. In chengdu,i worked as a assistant to ceo in Sina,it was not stressful and i almost leaved work at 6:30 pm everyday. usually i ate dinner which bought from outside at home. I often ate bbq with my friends at night while we watched tv show,it was so amazing. At the weekends, i usually went to supermarket to buy some food or snacks with my husbend or went to shopping. Sometimes we went to eat snacks near by Sichuan Normal University becuase we lived aroud there.We ate hotpot very often of course. But living in chengdu was too relaxed and we wont to get more chance as we are young, so we leaved to shanghai.
