First winter vacation for college freshmen
热度 1 虞左俊 2011-12-18 16:55
For those who have returned to Hawaii, nothing beats the warm weather (at 77F/26C). There will be many parties in the coming days, to get together with high school friends. Enjoy your vacation!

What's your religion?
热度 4 虞左俊 2011-12-16 14:49
I am still a lost cause, or a non-believer. However, quite a few of my good friends have taken up either Christianity or Buddhism. Since these are smart people, and my friends, I wonder from time to time why I am not like them. Do you have a religion? If yes, what is it?

Home, warm home

It's 80F in the paradise. The return trip was a lot faster, thanks to the jet stream. It took 3+ hours from H.K. to Narita, and 6+ hours from Narita to Honolulu.

Slip carefully

Well, I try not to take such advice, which was posted in a bathroom of a hotel room I stayed. I know what I could do during my retirement.

However, it took 40 mins to get a taxi at Hanghzhou Station, where people mountain people sea was more than being accurate. Thanks to ...

Going home, finally...

It's time to pack again. I will take a fast train from Nanjing to Hangzhou at noon, though I dread the "people mountain people sea" at train stations. Nanjing was sunny yesterday, and is today. I can see the blue sky, but I wonder what the PM2.5 value is...
