     My winter break plan

Winter break are coming soon, I can’t wait. I feel like my heart already flies to my hometown. There are many things I plan to do during the break. 

As an international students, going back home is not an essay thing to do. Why I say that? For me, I need spend more than 14 hours plane to arrived Shanghai PuDong airport. And then I need take 3 more hours car to my own city. Which means I need spend 17 hours on my travel.  To be honest, it is really tired. I feel like my body really can’t move. Another thing is that since the time is different, so when I arrived China, I need at least 3 days to change my own times. 

The first thing I’m going to do is go to Wanda Plaza to eat different kind of food. Since in the United State there only few Chinese restaurants near Cheshire academy. To be honest, I don’t really like the food there. It’s not like real Chinese food, is “America Chinese food”. I like my host family, they are really nice. They know that I may get tiered on the food they make and they want me try something new. So, during the weekend, My host mom often make cookies, bubble tea…or take me to some different places. Like Mexican food, Italian food,Korea food….But, I believed that Chinese food still is the most delicious food in the world! I want to eat Beijing Duck, Ningbo glue pudding, dumplings, hunan fried rice, Wuhan noodles……oh my god, I really can’t wait!!!!

Beside food, I think I would go to hairdressing shop to do my haircut and dye my hair. May be varnish my nails. “Venice salon” is my favorite hairdressing shop in Shanghai. I love the barber there, they are good at pick color and cut fringe. After that, there are one things that I should to do. I would go shopping because I became fatter and taller. The clothes can’t fit me well. And I really need to buy three or four heavy jackets or sweaters. Since I can’t image how cold in America when I come back. 

Meanwhile, I think I will start to make appointment with my middle school friends and my relatives. My Chinese friends still need to go to school, because they don’t have break during December. So, we need keeping touch, picking a time and hang out together. Also, I plan to visit my grandparents. They live in countryside. I know they both really care me and they often text my father. Tell him how they much they miss me. I love them so much. But it’s hard to see each otters in some cases, may be just twice per year. because I study far away. I missed my old days, I want to spend time with them. So, every time when I go back China, I really need many times to stay with them. Since I know that they needs me, I need them. 

The planning make me cannot wait for even one second. I wish the time fly quickly. I want to go back home!
