  1.What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city?

  Shanghai left a deep impression on me. My parents occasionally allow me to go there with my older cousin. I simply adore the hustle and bustle of the place. I don’t even mind having to wear a mask everywhere. I think it’s cool, and it isn’t weird at all considering that most people do it. I particularly like coming here to shop for presents and trinkets, since you can find something to suit any wallet, age or taste. The old and the new combine on the Yuyuan market to provide the best picture of the local life you can get. It is fascinating, to browse the stores, going both through modern high-end technology hubs, and small wooden houses where generation after generation have practiced the same craft or served the same signature dish since at least a few centuries back. These are one next to the other, making the contrast that much more evident. I sometimes simply enjoy sitting on the side of the street, eating a filled glutinous rice ball and listening to the bits and pieces of different languages that the tourists are flinging enthusiastically at each other. If you ever want to see multiculturalism, this is the place to come to. A couple of days here are more than enough for me to do my shopping, take the odd visit to the Natural History Museum, and enjoy the dishes I particularly like.
