My Response to 193-200


Hessler’s experience in Yulin was much more interesting and comfortable than his experience in Sichuan. He had regular conversations with people from Yulin and when he’d talked to them, they did not make him feel as if he was just a “Waiguoren.” Hessler had been told many things about Sichuan. Some said the women were more beautiful in Sichuan than Yulin because of the water and one statement that wasn't quite the best yet obvious was that Sichuan has no culture. Hessler loved Yulin and he did not want to leave. He enjoyed the hotel, the pleasant mornings of traffic and people at work, but the only thing he could not stand was the heat of the days. This reminded me of my visit to California, LA during the Summer time. I was there for about a week. Of course, I was treated like a visitor, but that wasn't much of an issue for me. I enjoyed the business of others’ lives and the mountains. The heat was the only major issue due to my body not being able to stand hot weather for long periods of time because I spent more of my days there outdoors exploring the city. I did not meet any rude people or find anything about LA that I did not like and just like Hessler, I did not want to leave. It is a place that I am actually considering moving too once my college career is over and I need to lift my personal career of the ground which is a combination of singing, acting, and dancing. LA was everything Yulin was for Hessler.
