As a college student who came to Dalian to attend the Dalian University of Technology summer camp, I had just arrived in this beautiful coastal city. In addition to my yearning for academics, I was inevitably a little unfamiliar and uneasy. Fortunately, the homestay I chose not only provided me with a comfortable place to stay, but also made me feel a home-like warmth and care, and all of this came from the amiable and lovely owner of the shop, Auntie.
During the few days of staying, it was the humid season in Dalian, and I was particularly touched by Auntie's attentiveness. She not only took the initiative to care about the humidity in my room, but also took the trouble to personally dehumidify my room. I remember one day when I came back from going out, I found that the room was particularly dry and comfortable. Later I learned that Auntie had quietly come in and dealt with it while I was away. This unobtrusive but very real care, like a warm current, permeated my time studying in a foreign land.
Auntie's care goes far beyond this. She often kindly asks about my itinerary and whether my activities at Dalian University of Technology are going well. Before leaving in the morning, she said, ”Be careful on the road, and do your best in the activities.” When returning in the evening, she said, ”You must be tired, go to bed early.” These seemingly ordinary greetings are full of elder-like consideration, which makes me, a student away from home, feel at ease. She is not only a landlord, but also a relative who takes care of me in a foreign land, always paying attention to my needs. Her thoughtfulness adds a lot of calmness and warmth to the originally tense summer camp life.
The environment of the inn itself is also quite clean and comfortable. The rooms are neatly arranged and fully equipped to meet the basic needs of study and rest. The geographical location is also very convenient, and the traffic to and from Dalian University of Technology is smooth. But what really makes this inn stand out is the ”human touch” that the aunt has poured into it. Here, accommodation is no longer a cold transaction, but an experience full of warmth. With her kindness, hard work and selfless care, the aunt turned an ordinary guest room into a warm ”home away from home.”
This trip to Dalian University of Technology summer camp not only brought me valuable academic experience, but also became an unforgettable warm memory because of staying in this homestay and meeting this kind aunt. I sincerely thank the aunt for her meticulous care. Her smile and care are one of the most precious gains of my trip. I strongly recommend it to all students who come to Dalian, especially those who participate in activities or study in Dalian University of Technology! If you are looking for a clean, convenient, and more importantly, caring place to stay, this is definitely your best choice. Thank you aunt, I also felt the warmth of ”home” in a foreign land! I wish the aunt a prosperous business and a safe life!
