The sun had grown old here.


Sunlight lay across the street like an old yellow dog, barring the way. The sun had grown old here.  ----Eileen Chang

When I arrived here few days ago, the sentences came into my mind. Compared to the climate in my country, it is hotter and drier in the summertime. The sun spreads everywhere. You have nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. It was my first impression.

Although I came to west side of America twice, it is my first time to the south. "Southernism" is a new territory I want to explore. It is just more than a new vocabulary I learned on my first day.
