"I could live off Hot Pot Street for the rest of my life"

---

The actual name of the street is Golden Sky Road or in Chinese: Jing Tian. It is pretty much our hub and was our first real reference point besides the school. Several of us live within walking distance of this road; most are a short drive away but I am lucky enough to live on Hot Pot Street. The reason we call it Hot Pot Street is because on our 2nd full day in Chengdu we ate dinner at a local restaurant called Hot Pot. It is referred to in an earlier blog post. On Hot Pot Street you can find several mini marts, Burger Spice (our local burger joint) and a bakery selling sweet breads and cakes. We often go to these shops after school to buy a burger, biscuits, sweet bread, chocolate and drinks such as coconut water, lemon tea, bubble tea and juice. You can find phone shops, shoe shops, clothing stores, street food, hairdressers, jewellery stores and many others. One end of the street starts as mostly family owned businesses, then slowly progresses into more commercial high end shops. Hot Pot Street is a valuable reference point that connects us all together.
