I've been staying in this town for more than two years. Initially the impression that it gave me was boring, boring, and boring. Right, for sure, for 19 years, I lived in a place that have huge shopping centres open till at least 10pm, after that you can visit mamak, and there is night market packed with people. I spent six years in an independent school and had long hours lectures and awful lots of activities after class and during holidays. So, how on earth is it possible for a people like me to like a so damn boring place like this?And yet, I like it so much now. I guess my mind, my habits are 'aging'.. Because it's a place with lots of elderly, and we heard it received some kind of award that referring it as the most suitable for those retirees before we came. Now I like its slow motions, I like its peacefulness, I like the tranquility, I like those friendly old ladies who talk to you so randomly, and somewhat like it snowing so randomly...
Haih.. strange right? I wonder whether I can get used to new environment if it's going to busy and fast? Because I'm thinking to get a job here, here in the uk, not at cheltenham, as I can see Cheltenham is just a small place, which doesnt provide good working opportunity. But I don't feel like leaving here, yet... I want to explore other cities in the UK, to help me reconfirm that this really isn't a country that I'd like.. lol. In some terms, I guess Cheltenham is already one of the best - the conclusion when we visited Manchester.
Eh? so why am I writing about Cheltenham Spa (in which I don't even know how it got the name SPA?)? Because I saw the Facebook group saying that Cheltonians are those ridiculously good looking people. Eh.. I've been wondering why I didn't see those good looking ang mo (Caucasion) that we normally see from media since I came here (all I can see is just how serious their health problem caused by obesity). I even wonder whether I should conclude that those really-good-looking are all on tv, the rest.. hmm.. ahem.. Previously I thought it may be due to the place I'm in, it may be better in other places, but.. hmm.. obviously it is not, since those Cheltonians think they are ridiculously good looking!
Anyway, despite the ok-looking people, it's still a nice place to live in, to learn more about older England, to interact more with the British. And, at least, apart from the retirees, it's also a very ideal place for studying... : P
