Photo Journal----- After ten years in Colorado and conclusion


                                                          After ten years in Colorado

After ten years of Denver, there will be a lot of Chinese, as like Los Angeles. Our families are immigrants who came to Colorado State. I will marry  my boyfriend after I graduate; we are a very happy family. Ten years from now Denver are more beautiful, after dinner, I will still like to walk in the university Blvd, everywhere can see Chinese, and there are 100 Chinese restaurants in Denver. Other city’s people all like to Denver to travel, because Denver's people are the most warm in the United States. People like to go to the city civilization. Colorado is rated as one of the most influential city in the United States. Our family will move to the Copper Mountain and enjoy the life there. Because the city of Denver is full of noises, traffics will make noise and factories will make noise. But rural areas are different, where everything is natural.

                                                       Conclusion

As a conclusion, I should say I have already developed a deep love to this beautiful city. I learned a lot from this city and the people I met. I have made significant progress since I came here one year ago; I am sure that I have totally involved into the pace of the city and become a contributor to this city. I consider myself as a resident of this place, and I am trying all I can to make this city more beautiful and make people here happy because of me. All in one, I hope I can make more friends from all around the world and tell them the attraction of Denver.

Mengxiao's photo journal --- My habits in Colorado and Life 50 years ago


                                                                My habits in Colorado

I went to Aspen last February


(Glenwood Springs )


         Everyone has his or her own habits, such as sports, sleeping and studying. In fact, when I came to the United States, I increased a lot of hobbies. There are many differences between China and the United States. After coming the United States, in order to improve English, I would listen to the English ten minutes every morning. When I drive, I listen to the English radio every day, also this is different between in China, and in China I often listened to the music, which is pop music. Coming Denver, I began to go to the gym because I find here a lot of students or workers after work will go to exercise, so I also like to go to the gym every week. My favorites sport is yoga, I had never try yoga in my country. There are many Chinese in Denver; I also have many Chinese friends here. In the winter, every weekend we often have activates which is going to hot springs or to go skiing. My best girlfriend whose hair is red, she often go to shopping center with me. My life is very colorful in Denver, and I have many America friends they often invited me to join in their party. I really enjoy the life in Denver, and the people here are friendly, also environment is comfortable. I'd like to live here. Overall, I think my life will become better than before because I have some good friends and good teachers, also I am studying  level 5 right now. I believe that I can enter into University of Denver on this September.




                                                             Life 50 years ago
         If I had lived in Colorado in 1963, I wouldn’t have had a house.  I might lived in a poor little apartment with my family,  and we wouldn’t have had enough food, also we
wouldn’t have had a car.              
                                       


                                                                   (our apartment)


It is not easy to go to school, and college cost so much money for a child to study at school. I go to school by a bicycle, and my mother lose her job. Also my older sister wouldn’t have had a chance go to University. If I had lived in Colorado in 1963, only population we only had one hundred thousand people in Denver, was difficult to saw a car on the road. We wouldn’t have had a television in our home, so we only read books and newspapers. If I had lived in 1963, I would have been thinner than now, because there did not have too much fast food restaurants. If I had lived in Colorado in 1963, I wouldn’t have had good education. I would have had clean rivers and sparse population in Colorado. If I had lived in Colorado in 1963, I wouldn’t have had a chance go to Europe and I wouldn’t have had a chance traveled other city.

                                              My favorite restaurant in Denver
I came to the United States later I found a lot of restaurants in Denver. If you're looking for a good restaurant, I will suggest you go to Cheesecake Factory. 


It is my favorite restaurant to dine in. It is a very famous restaurant chains in the United States.  The restaurant offers a wide variety of cake and Western-style food that I love. I go to this restaurant with my friends every weekend. Every time I go there, not only that I can enjoy the taste of the food, also I feel the friendly service in this restaurant. they have fresh strawberry cheesecake which is my favorite.

My friends and I usually meet in the restaurant to chat and discuss our homework on the weekend. I usually start with their Salad and chocolate bread.
After, I order delicious pastas is named Louisiana Chicken Pasta, Chicken Salad Sandwich or seafood. In the end, I'm sure I won't forget my favorite dessert that is fresh strawberry. I like all the food they serve in the Cheesecake Factory, and I tried most of the dishes.
