Xiao Zhao - A Country Bumpkin Offering Sunshine

Seniors

Friday, 1. August 2008, 03:14:24

There were two seniors striking my head within two days; one was a 60+year old Caucasian lady I encountered in front of a UPS store, another was a 73 year old African American gentleman I met at a warehouse. They both got me very sad in different ways.

Taste of the Himalayas Restaurant

Wednesday, 30. July 2008, 03:38:33

Food

Taste of the Himalayas is one of the most impressive restaurant I have ever been; the owner Shrawan Nepali is also the coolest restaurant owner I have ever met. Last night, my husband and I went to another fancier Nepali restaurant in San Francisco and it reminds me how much I loved the food, atmosphere and Shrawan's passion at Taste of the Himalayas. We will definitely revisit it pretty soon.

(The above is a video I shot the night on November 30, 2007. Isn't Shrawan charming?)

Stories

I have written my blog in Mandarin, Chinese much more often lately. Writing in Chinese comforts me and helps me to escape the reality of being in the English world. Most of time, I feel the English world I am living in is not quite friendly.

How Many Countries Can You Locate?

Do I know this world less than I thought? Yes, intead. I surely have hard time to locate lots of countries in South America and Africa. This World Map test is acually very interesting; it drove me studying more on where which country is located. Do you want to take a test? What's your score? I only scored 30 and need to go back to memorize more countries.

Vote for Obama

Obama

Of course, we don't need pop-culture celebrities to tell us whom we should vote for. This video is still something very touching. Totally opposite to Bush, Obama's speech can be so powerfully matched in song lyrics. I am praying that Obama will win the Democratic Party Primaries on Super Tuesday.

Fireworks on the Taipei 101 Building

fun

I was browsing around and looking for some videos of any New Year's Eve events in Taiwan. There were not many videos posted yet. I guess some people might videotape some events but were just too exhausted to post last night. Here we are. There was a very beautiful one in Taipei.

Trips

Now, it is snowing outside of my sister-in-law’s house in Shoreline (a suburb of Seattle), Washington. I am so excited to actually see snowing and touch snow in person for the very first time in my life. I posted two videos on Youtube to express my excitement.
