I　had　planned　to　play　golf　on　this　rainy　Sunday　morning　so　that　I　wouldn't　focus　on　what　I　dislike　the　most　about　Wuhan.　The　Weather！　It　is　either　too　hot　or　too　cold;　and　always　very　wet.　People　in　Wuhan　seem　to　take　this　in　stride　and　maintain　friendly　attitude　and　community　spirit　It's　this　that　brings　me　to　What　I　like　best　about　people　in　Wuhan！

　In　my　past　years　in　Wuhan　the　city　has　made　a　lot　of　progress　with　new　buildings，　constantly　improved　development　zones，　and　major　infrastructure　improvements.　However，　only　the　people　of　a　city　can　make　it　a　good　place　to　live　in　and　the　Wuhanese　accomplish    this　very　well.

　As　a　foreigner　in　the　city　I　have　always　felt　safe　and　comfortable　among　the　Wuhanese.　When　I　need　any　assistance，　even　if　I　have　not　asked　for　help，　the　people　of　Wuhan　have　always　come　forward　to　help　my　family　and　myself.　This　includes　all　the　public　officials　right　down　to　the　young　girl　who　sweeps　up　the　street　every　day　near　my　office.

    As　I　stated　earlier　Wuhan　has　made　many　improvements　over　the　last　years.　The　air　and　streets　are　cleaner;　many　public　park　areas　have　been　enlarged　or　improved.　I　am　sure　that　Wuhan　and　the　Zone　have　many　projects　to　continue　to　improve　the　environment　of　the　city.　I　would　long　for　the　city　to　continue　these　programs，　but　put　more　resources　in　critical　environmental　concerns　of　domestic　sewerage　treatment，　proper　industrial　waste　and　domestic　trash　collection　and　disposal　systems.

　I　have　watched　with　great　interest　the　improvements　and　attempted　improvements　the　city　has　made　in　the　traffic　control.  We　have　gone　from　what　Americans　would　call　the　Wild　West，　to　improved　streets　andnew　intersections　with　traffic　lights　and　crosswalks.  However，　whenthe　police　are　not　around　many　Wuhaneses　&　VIPs　think　the　rules　do　notapply　to　them.　It　i　good　to　see　the　improvements，　but　they　must　be　sup-ported　with　continuous　public　and　school　education　programs　that　teach　everyone　the　rules　of　law　and　safety，　A　foreigner's　greatest　fear　is　that　they　will　be　directly　or　indirectly　involved　in　an　accident　and　unfairly　punished　or　forced　to　pay　even　when　the　law　says　they　were　not　wrong！

　I　like　many　of　the　scenic，　historical　and　cultural　sites　in　and　around　the　city　of　Wuhan，　like　the　towers　or　many　of　the　temples.　Wuhan　is　a　vibrant　and　growing　city，　constantly　changing　and　improving.　For　me　this　makes　Wuhan　a　great　place　to　be，　it　is　never　boring　and　there　are　always　new　things　to　learn　and　new　challenges　to　complete.　I　am　happy　to　be　here　and　hope　that　in　my　time　in　Wuhan　I　will　try　my　best　to　contribute　to　the　economy，　improvement　and　growth　of　the　city.
