living in milwaukee
Since I came to The United States, many conversations with people whom I have never met have began with "Where are you from?" and I reply, "I am from Indonesia". After these two sentences, there is a question which most American people ask with a little confusion on their face, which is "Why did you decide to come to Milwaukee?" The first few times I heard people asking me the same question over and over again, I felt that I made a big mistake picking the place where I was going to stay for a couple of years. Moreover, when I traveled to Miami, people I spoke with in stores or bars were surprised that I was from Milwaukee. Most of them said, "Why Milwaukee? What is there besides farms, beer, and snow?" When I heard this statement, I am reminded of a film that I saw called "Kicking and screaming." In this movie, there is a character that is supposed to go to Milwaukee, but he postpones the day when he will arrive by making many excuses. These are several reasons why he doesn't! want to live in Milwaukee besides him not liking the Milwaukee. However, the movie's effect was bad enough to give the audience, as well as me, a negative impression of living in Milwaukee.

Dupuis. 1986 There is a proverb in Chinese, which translates to "If you live there, the place would become a capital of yours, the home for you to live." It is difficult to pick out a place where you want to live in this huge country. However, once you start living in one place, it is easy to discover many good things that can overcome the negative views. Living in Milwaukee is just one of the choices that will give you some surprise. As you long as you live in a place where you can find good some features, there is no need to listen to what others say.
