Living elsewhere, found a truly homely hotel in Shanghai!

"Living elsewhere" is a line from the poem of French poet Rimbaud, which succinctly expresses the pursuit of a lifelong ideal beyond the mundane and boring life; "Life elsewhere" is a novel by Milan Kundera, which discovers the eternal tragic conflict between ideal and reality in poetic sentiment. Both are "living elsewhere," but they come from different people's inner conflicts and compassion for humanity. As for me, I prefer to interpret the meaning of "living elsewhere" with the words of Alain de Botton in "The Art of Travel": "The value of travel, or that kind of aimless drifting, is that it allows us to experience a great emotional change." Living too long in a familiar and unresponsive place makes us numb, and everything beautiful is taken for granted. Traveling to live elsewhere actively disrupts our state of mind, stimulates our desire to explore and express ourselves to the world. This is my way of living elsewhere! I have been living in Shanghai for half a month, talked to many people, and left my life to unexpected fate and time. Whether it is traveling or wandering, everything beyond home is called "elsewhere." During my travels, I am sensitive to changes in my place of residence, even a little stressed. Anything uncomfortable, cramped, or restrictive will be immediately felt, and anything comfortable, relaxed, and soothing will be immediately sensed. The "elsewhere" I live in today is the Kerry Hotel Pudong Shanghai, which belongs to the latter, a home like a haven. The Kerry Hotel Pudong Shanghai is like the good student in the class who is down-to-earth and making progress. Among the many hotels, it has no gimmicks or shortcuts. The time here seems to have stayed in the beginning of the millennium in the hotel industry. It works hard on the environment, service, and catering, with no extra water or attachments. What you see is what you get. The service is attentive and thoughtful, the rooms are clean and standard, and the food is delicious and authentic. You should know that these three high standards are actually difficult to achieve, and everyone has a discerning eye. If it were not for its average high score, it would not be crowded with guests. This is the first time I have given such an evaluation, because from the moment I arrived at the hotel, it was the first impression of the hotel that I had. A surging and overwhelming initial heart, even moved. Living elsewhere, the most difficult "elsewhere" to meet is a place that is as joyful and relaxing as home, and it is. I don't know where I remembered these two sentences: "Walking in fame and fortune, listening to the rain in a deserted village." I like it very much. This is probably a kind of attitude that life needs, and it is also a way for us to keep our "original intention." Never forget to let the soul enjoy something unrelated to the mundane, and pursue material things while also paying attention to the freedom of the spirit and soul. Living here, but "living elsewhere." Daily life is undoubtedly important and meaningful, but it is destined to be similar and tugging. If possible, we should try to appreciate the scenery elsewhere.
