My girlfriend is going to the United Nations Headquarters for a month as an intern, and she wants a guide to life in New York. The more detailed, the better.

One of the biggest differences between living in new york and other American cities is the way of commuting every day. New york has perfect public transportation and a subway network extending in all directions. It is believed that the offices of China people working in big American companies are mostly located in midtown Manhattan or downtown. Due to the high housing prices and parking fees in Manhattan, many Chinese choose Queens and Brunswick. Commuting by subway becomes the beginning of a day's work. Bring your own breakfast, read magazines and newspapers, learn to improve, improve yourself, and race against time. The fine tradition of China people is also reflected in the small society in the carriage. In the bumpy carriage, some people are worried about their children's education, while others are thinking about the details of their work. A small space provides a short time to prepare and start planning a beautiful day for yourself. In the morning subway crowd, we often see China office workers dressed neatly, walking in a hurry, looking serious and positive. It is difficult to see the gap between this city and this country just from the appearance. New york is a world capital that blends different races. China people who have adapted to the strong environment have quickly integrated themselves into this stream of people. From the early morning of one day, they imitated and created the laws of American work and life.

Take a break-lunch and lunch time

After a busy morning, we can have a good rest at lunch time. Different from our American colleagues, China people's thrifty habits are manifested again. It is often seen that during lunch time, China people who heat meals and dishes in the company teahouse choose to bring their own lunch, which is both economical and practical. Compared with the expensive lunch in Manhattan, the same sandwich, pizza and hamburger are really better choices. China people who can make a living know how to cook a few side dishes and save some for lunch the next day. Over time, they have the capital to buy a new car and a house. People are often surprised at the saving ability of China people. Young couples who have worked for 2 or 3 years have begun to take on high housing loans and can pay off more than half of the down payment, which is caused by daily habits. The economical lunch box is exchanged for the care and warmth of the family, the delicious food at home, and the small efforts to lay the foundation for a better life in the future.

Lunch time without lunch is also promising. Go out for a walk and go shopping. There are many famous shops in Manhattan, which is a well-known shopping paradise. Why not use the noon time to feel the prosperity of the city and add more color to the two-point and one-line life? Or, some people will choose to go to a health club to lose weight. Big companies will have discounts and perfect course arrangements. Yoga and aerobic exercise are also effective measures to overcome the high bad cholesterol prevalent in China. Or buy some flowers to go to the bank. After lunch, it's two o'clock, and it's not far from work.
