Coming home I am leaving Nottingham in 2 days which makes me very emotional. On one hand, I miss my family and friends so much and I can't wait to meet them back home. On the other hand, Nottingham is such a lovely place that I don't want to leave it at all. I met so many amazing people and did quite a few things which I could never do in China. It was great fun here and I learned so much, experiencing a very distinct life from China. I am very impressed by the variety of activities in the university, lots of societies and parties. I joined in the tennis society, international society, and China China society. People are so friendly and welcome. It is never hard to start a conversation and make friends. I went to a ball which was fantastic. I have never participated anything like it in China. People dressed in suit and talked politely, just like what is shown in the high-end social event on screen. The food was finely decorated and the waiters served thoughtfully. Every one was like a prince or a princess. I was the only one from Asia at my table and I was a bit nervous. I would like to behave decently to show others how we Chinese do things. I am also impressed by the internationality in Uk. There are so many people from different ethnic groups which is rare to see in China. Back in my hometown, you can't see any people other than Chinese on the street. The only foreigners who live in my city are English teachers. So I was shocked when I first arrived in London. I could not see any white people in some places which confused me. Then I reflected that it is such an international country. Being British doesn't mean you have to be white. This is a good thing I think. It brings muti-culture and variety to the society making it more competitive. Everyone is equal here and shouldn't be defined by the race. Some friends asked me whether I am going to stay here in Uk after I finish my degree. I would say no. I don't deny the fact that Uk is such an amazing place to be. It is so developed, every field taking the lead largely compared to China. However, I have more opportunities in China and I can still live a wonderful life even in a developing country. I was very happy when I grew up there. After all, that is where I was born and bred, my spiritual soul belongs to. My country is becoming better and better and I have the responsibility to help building it. I haven't left Nottingham yet but I have started missing it. Thank God I still have 2 more years to study here.
