Life in Buffalo

My father-in-law lived in Buffalo for more than 1o years. He loves this city, even though the winter in Buffalo is very long. Before I couldn't imagine how beautiful Buffalo is, and how could this city made my father-in-law so fascinated. After I lived here for several weeks, I understand him. Buffalo is really a beautiful and convenient city.

Buffalo is beautiful, especially in the Summer. Because of its unique location, many tourists come to Buffalo. They come from different countries to enjoy the sunshine in Buffalo, then they travel to the great Niagara Falls and Canada. People live in Buffalo are very kind and polite. They are welcome you either travel or study. I went to a concert with my husband at the first time when I just arrived her. We can't find our seats. When we were looking at our tickets and trying to find our seats back and forth, people who sat there asked us with smile:" Can I help you?". Thankful their help, we found our seats and enjoyed the concert finally. Next time, if you have any trouble on finding any places, just ask for people walking around you. I believe people will be pleased to help you at any time.

It's really convenient for me to buy any kinds of food. "SMS" is a big supermarket, which price of food there is cheaper than any other supermarket. Because it is a club supermarket, which means you have to join as a membership and pay the $40 annual fee so you can go to SMS and shop there. I think it's a good deal for you if you go and shop at SMS often. You can buy not only food, but also consumer goods.It's also cheaper. But the disadvantage of SMS is that they don't have as many kinds of food to sell as Wegmans or Tops. Wegmans and Tops have many branches in Buffalo. Both of Wegmans and Tops are have discount card. You can apply for it at the service center of any of the branches, and it's free. Each week they will list all the discount food on their catalog. You can compare their price then decide where to buy. I prefer Wegmans. Because the price is cheaper than Tops, and they have their own brand of food. If you come from Asian, you can find sushi and Chinese food in Wegmans. Each Friday and Sunday, there will be a shuttle bus takes you from South Campus to Wegmans and some other Malls. But Tops has its advantage. It only takes you 5 minutes to walk from South Campus to TOPS. There is another shopping place I want to introduce is " Walmart". You can find many kinds of consumer goods in Walmart with low prices.

In conclusion, Buffalo is a good place. In Summer, it's a good time for you to travel. In winter, it's also a right place for students to study at home or school. Come and enjoy your life in Buffalo, I am sure you will not be disappointed.
