I love my hometown for many reasons.Firstof all, I was born and raised here and all of my relatives and most of myfriends live here. So I feel at ease in Fuzhou. In addition, I find the weatherhere in the south very pleasant because it’s warm all year round. On top ofthis, the food here is stunning. It’s a mix of colors and flavors.It’s sotasty. I highly recommend the sea food to you!And although many people complainabout the traffic, I know it’s not as bad as in many other cities, and they’reworking on building a subway here. However, it won’t be ready before another 8years, but the city is definitely modernizing.
