There are two sides to every coin

There are two sides to every coin. It means everything we did must have two opposite results or infections. Maybe someone who said this idiom wants us to know when you think you are unfortunate, think about what God have given you. If a boy was born in a poor family, he would know how to endure hardship, he would be a great man. If a girl was a blind, she would have a higher capacity of voice perception, she would be a musician. This will make us more optimistic to treat life.
However, how about we only have one chance? In a one chance experiment, the coin only has one result, head or tail. I know exactly there are two sides to every coin, but in fact, there is only one final. For example, you lost your arm, but you got 1 million dollar after that. If give you a chance to choose the arm and money, would you choose money? I think no.
So, don’t be so optimistic, be careful when you make every choice.

What a Dream Can Be


I don't want to think about my career because although I had a goal already, but I can not ignore the opportunity that I bite by a spider and them become a spiderman some day. Furthermore, the process of career is not as sweet as a dream should be. Anyway, a wonderful dream should be a wonderful travel with a , oh, no, a lot of wonderful girls. Kidding^^. For greedy people like me, earth has not been already satisfy me. So I need to go to the MOON. Yes, it is. The moon is the nearest planet from earth, and we have technology to reach it. You can imagine, when you in the space ship, you can see the whole earth you live everyday. You can realize how weak a life it is. For the beauty of earth, maybe you would know how to save water and protect environment. And when you jump in the moon, you can enjoy the pleasure of flying. It would be wonderful travel!

Chinese New Year



My favourite holiday is Chinese New Year(also called Spring Festival) not only because it is the longest holiday in China but also the very meaningful and greatful celebration events. The biggest event of any Chinese New Year is the New Year Eve dinner every family will have. Every people in a family get together and eat the family reunion dinner. You always can eat the most delicious tranditional Chinese dishes in the dinner. In addition, married couples or the elderly in Chinese family will give to unmarried juniors(us) red packets with money inside(almost $10-100) during the reunion dinner. That would be a huge money because everyone older than me must give me at least $10 and I am the youngest one, that is another reason I like Spring festival. The days after new year also have a lot of celebrations such as playing fireworks, going shopping(the price of stuff during Chinese New Year same as Black day in America)visiting family members(another way to get red packets^^).

Beauty




This is a special place which can considered to be a beautiful gardon beside my home. Sceneries here are attractive and the air here is quite fresh that can make me feel relax. Everytime I went there, my bad mood would become better. That's why I love this place a lot. On the other hand, it is infrequency to see some places just like this, which can give me the feeling to touch the nature in China. In this case, I prefer to go through the paths in the grass rather than some noisy areas. For recommendation, I want suggest you go there when you are unhappy or when you want to share your happiness with your friends.

Fall in Iowa


I'd like to see, the iowa has been becoming more and more beautiful since I came Iowa. I saw the scarlet leaves which I only saw them in the film before. In China, I only can see the yellow leaves in the fall and defoliations usually cleaned by the dustman in the midnight everyday, so it is hard to see the scenery that defoliations cover the whole ground. I thought it must be very romantic when two lovers walking on the defoliations with the squish of steping on the leaves. So I took a picture of a park near my apartment.

Life lesson

A little bird was flying south for the winter. The weather was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
The story tells us:
1) not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

Scared & Sci-Fi movies







Movies are someone's part of life. I think movies are just can be a tool for human entertainment. I like to watch the scared movies becasue they can stimulate people's vision and hearing. For the Sci-Fi movies, they are not only can stimulate people's vision and hearing, but also can sublime our imagination. It also always give people a lot of thinking. Sci-Fi movies have a biger place for directors to expatiate their thinkings. For example, the day after tomorrow can be a function of tell people to protect the environment. And some movie also give us a idea that the bad effection of highly mechanized.

One day in Chicago



Oct 2, we went to Chicago, the third largest city in the US. Chicago is famous for Lake Michigan which is one of the Great Lakes in the US. I was most impressed with the shore of Lake Michigan and the Sears tower.
Firstly, we took off in the front of the Field Museum and walked along the shore of Lake Michagan. The lake was as big as the sea; you could not see the other side of the lake. Sail boats around the beach and the wind gave us a sense of being at the seaside.
Another impressive place was the Sears Tower, the highest building in the US right now. It is 443meters high and has 110 floors. In the skydeck of the building we could see the whole skyline of Chicago. It was really an inspiring and thrilling experience.

Food

Funny With New

Just when I first came here, I was surprised why the sky are so beautiful with bright blue background and white cloud. After that, I was surprised why the bus is always free. Then I was surprised that all the people running and riding are just for practise not vehicle.
I didn't find someplace for entertainment there, maybe skating in the coral ridge mall, shoping in the super wal-mart can be a kind of entertainment. I really do not know what can I do for fun.
But, yesterday, I can not sleep in the night. So I went to run around my apartment. With the fresh and a little bit cool air, running is the greatest enjoyment during the night. Surrounding are absolute quiet and the feeling can make you fully relax . You can have a try if you do not afraid of the dark.

Now I am living in the apartment called Hawkeye court where lives a lot of international students, most of them are graduate students.
