How's Thea's life?

Question 1: What's life like in Seattle? Everyone will blurt out the name of the movie Sleepless in Seattle to this city! In the blue sky and blue sea, the indelible Indian totem and the fragrance of coffee floating in the air make this city a bright pearl in the Pacific region.

What Seattle presents to tourists is another style of the West Coast. It's different from Los Angeles or San Francisco in California. Surrounded by forests and rippling waters, the whole city looks cold and quiet. In addition to many scenic spots in the city, there are three national parks in the suburbs.

However, the romantic image once famous for the movie Sleepless in Seattle was not regarded as a call for sightseeing, and no related products or image signs of movie posters could be found in urban areas.

Indians who have lived in North America since ancient times have lived a self-sufficient tribal life by hunting and fishing. They are indigenous people here, but their history is not recorded in the general history of the United States. The pioneers in Seattle, out of respect for this group of Duamish natives who have lived in Elliot Bay for a long time, directly named the new land of this immigrant land after Chief Schiers. Because of some oral misinformation, it finally became Seattle, which is the origin of Seattle's name.

Climb the space needle tower to see the romantic scenery.

When you come to the center of Seattle, of course, the space needle tower, one of the landmarks in Seattle now, is the last thing you can miss. The space needle tower is 605 feet high, and 520 feet above the ground are the observation deck and the revolving restaurant. It takes only 40 seconds to take the transparent elevator from the ground to the observation deck, which overlooks the 360-degree panorama of Seattle, including Mount Rainier, Puget Sound and beautiful lakes. People often say that Seattle has never been to the Space Needle, just like Paris has never been to the Eiffel Tower, which makes the Space Needle one of the most popular tourist attractions in Seattle. The space needle tower is a key building designed by Edward E Carson, president of Sean International Hotel Group, for the World Expo that year. Its peculiar shape is like a flying saucer standing on a slender metal, and its overall design is very avant-garde.

As long as you stand on the tower, the romantic atmosphere of Seattle will come to you. In front of you, there is a green land. The plot in the movie flashes in your mind, and the hero and heroine meet on the tower. The Chinese version of the film is Sky of Destiny sung by Hong Kong singer Tang Baoru:

At this moment, the radio accompanied me to jump into the night/listen carefully to the sound of your telephone center breaking along the road/slowly repeat who you mourn at night/your heart that you are willing to live alone again on the long farewell day/you are so lonely/you can't sleep after losing your beloved/you are lonely and heartbroken in the distance/like every tear brushing the night sky. ...

Enjoy the endless leisure brought by Seattle coffee.

Lu Yu, a famous host of Phoenix TV, described herself as not liking coffee, which was probably related to her early life in Seattle.

For Seattle people, drinking coffee is a natural thing in life, just like sunshine, air, flowers and water, it is a natural thing in daily life, so I don't need to go into details.

When you walk into Seattle, you can see Espresso's signboard all over the street. Four famous brands, Starbucks Coffee, the best coffee in Seattle directly named after Seattle, Torrefazione Italia invaded from Italy and Tully's Coffee favored by Japanese media, have their own * * * occupying every street in this romantic coffee capital of Seattle, as well as important shopping malls, shopping centers or airports and stations, all with their own different styles and characteristics.

In addition, there are many personalized cafes hidden in unknown corners of various communities, or espresso bars that are often unexpected in the streets and lanes. In Seattle, you will see the word cafe every 100 meter on average. There are countless cafes, and countless tourists either take a nap in them, or slowly see the sun crawling on the back of their hands, stealing a day and a half. This is a kind of cozy and leisure .......................................................................................................... & gt

Question 2: What about woodinville in Seattle? This is a good place. It is not far from downtown Seattle, with convenient transportation and good living conditions. House prices are lower than those in the suburbs of Seattle. Are you going to Peking University or a community college?

Question 3: Are nurses in Seattle well treated? How many/much? What is the standard of living in Seattle? Divided into three classes, six classes and nine classes. The lowest care worker has the same job as that in China, but his salary is 20 times that in China. The salary will be adjusted according to the job content. For example, the salary of surgical assistance is higher, but it is related to nationality. American nationality has a higher salary and various benefits. Other nationalities, hehe, the tax on American nationality is much less than that on foreign nationality.

Question 4: I am going to study in Seattle, USA. How about spending there? How much pocket money is enough for a month? The overall consumption level in Seattle is not low, but it also varies from person to person. You live in a host family, and you are either a high school student or a student at a community college. If you don't compare with others, you can get 1000 yuan a month for food, shelter and transportation. Save a little, live a little crowded, 600 ~ 800 will do.

Question 5: Is Seattle the most expensive city in America? How is that possible!

The highest cost of living is San Francisco.

A one-bedroom house rents less than 10 thousand a month!

How does Seattle compare with San Francisco? !

Question 6: Is it good to immigrate to Seattle, USA? The life of the American emperor is very good. I suggest you ask your friends in America about their specific living conditions. Tax, insurance, health care

Question 7: Which base is the largest, Seattle or new york, which is suitable for China people to live in the aerospace industry and electronics industry? It is also the largest financial center in the United States after new york and new york ... Miami, Florida. Suitable for vacation. But I still recommend Seattle, where there are many Chinese and the climate is first-class.

Question 8: What do people who have been to Seattle think of the life of Chinese in Seattle? I've been here for half a year. It's good. Can't stand the rain, forget it.

It's beautiful when the sky is blue ~

There are many people in China,

There is Chinatown, which is a depression.

I like it here very much.

Question 9: What's the house price and life like in America? Many people say that China is not good and the United States is good. In fact, objectively speaking, those people basically belong to the category of "spying" and spend money to deliberately make some confusing remarks.

To understand what kind of country the United States is, we need to learn from people who have really been to the United States, not those who spend a penny on Chinese mainland YY to deceive the general public!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

1. house price

Housing prices in the United States are related to population distribution. Generally speaking, the east and west coasts (mainly new york and surrounding cities, as well as California) are a little more expensive, while the central region is a little cheaper. In addition, almost everyone in the United States has a car, so everyone's life has expanded a lot, and there are many choices when buying a house.

The median price of American houses is currently around $200,000. As I said before, things are expensive at both ends, so the house prices in most parts of the United States are below $200,000. I have been to two central cities in the United States this year, one is Detroit and the other is Kansas City. In terms of population, these two cities rank between 10-50 in the United States, which is considered as a second-tier city. However, the population is less than 6.5438+0 million, and all the larger counties in the country are bigger than it. The house price is also cheap. A building is only tens of thousands 10, or even less than 10, and it is a good house in the early 200 thousand.

But the terrible thing about these cities is that they have a small population, and there are no bustling crowds in China. Sleeping at night, there is no noise on the road outside, and naturally there is no rich nightlife. In fact, Americans living in these second-tier cities are also quite boring, so young people will still go to big cities such as new york and LA.

2. Income

The United States is a country dominated by large enterprises, and every city is similar. Shopping, going to Wal-Mart; Eat, go to the subway; ; Buy home appliances to Bestbuy；; Buy clothes to go to GAP；; Buy shoes and go to Nike ................... These big companies monopolize almost all the daily consumption of Americans. They are omnipresent giants, so it is natural to hire local employees everywhere. Coupled with telecommunications and banks, a large proportion of Americans in small cities work in these large enterprises, and their income is also very balanced, about 30,000-40,000 years, which constitutes the so-called middle class in the United States.

The annual income is 30,000-40,000, excluding tax and insurance, that is, 20,000-30,000, excluding living expenses, that is, half, one year deposit1-20,000. It takes150,000 years to buy a house. But these people are locals, and many of them have houses in the local area, so the demand for buying a house is not so strong.

What industry has high wages? Most of them are high-tech industries, such as doctors, lawyers, finance and technology. In America, you have a skill that others can't, and your income is always higher. Microsoft engineers at the bottom earn about $654.38 million a year. The White House secretary, in China, must be a senior civil servant, but some time ago, the news said that it was only over 30,000 a year.

In Seattle, where Microsoft is headquartered, house prices are much higher than those in ordinary second-tier cities. In addition to Microsoft's reasons, but also because it is close to the sea, housing prices have the value of speculation. The data shows that the median house price in Seattle soared from 1, 22 1 000 in 1989 to 447,000 at the peak in 2006. But now the financial crisis, the median dropped to 340,000. If you are an engineer in Microsoft, your annual income is 65,438+10,000 yuan, and tax and insurance account for about13. If you take 60,000-70,000 yuan, you can save 40,000-50,000 yuan a year, so it will take about 10 years to buy a house. Of course, this is just the idea of China, and Americans may not be able to save that much.

Of course, not everyone can get a job with an annual salary of 654.38 million at Microsoft. If you work as a waiter at Starbucks, your income is in the range of 30,000-50,000. Then if you want to buy a house in Seattle, the pressure will be much greater.

3. University

Compared with housing prices, education is a more terrible thing for Americans. As we all know, the best schools in America are eight Ivy League universities, including Harvard, Yale and Princeton. In addition, there are some schools that are not Ivy League, but they are all of the same level, such as Stanford, Chicago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology. These schools add up to 20, all of which are private. Therefore, judging the performance of American schools, the top 20 is a grade. Americans have some money and want to squeeze into these schools. There, after four years, it will basically cost $200,000, which the average person can't afford.

These 20 schools are followed by state schools, and each state has 1-2 schools. It constitutes 20- 100 American universities. But the situation in California >>

Question 10: What daily necessities do you need to bring after working in Seattle for five years? You don't need to bring anything. Both are sold, and they are not expensive. The most important thing is food, but Seattle has China City and everything. Most people who see big boxes and small boxes going to America at the airport are visiting for the first time. You can take more medicine, and you should take your own medicine for colds and minor illnesses. If you smoke, bring some cigarettes. Cigarettes are not cheap in America.
