Le Jardin de Tweed

瞳を閉じて見る夢よりも 瞳を開きながら 

Le Fin

We are in the Hamline University as the last stop.
I saw the musical Grease today,and it was brilliant for sure.
The day before yesterday, I was playing in the Valleyfair, an amusement park.Roller coaster for the first time,and I was so regretted that I did it! I didn't feel any sick afterwards, but I hate to be controlled by that damn machine!
What else, all right, I was operating a cruise some days ago when we were dining in Vista Fleet in Dulth.
I felt seasick after eating a huge icecream:P Then I went upstairs and met the captain. He let me handle the crusie for about half of the journey,that made me so proud of myself:)
The Lake Superior,oh god,that beauty killed me while I was walking along the beach.
Harry Potter movie, yes,I saw it but, I didn't understand much cuz the British accent..,you know!
Don't forget about Canoeing! It was fun,too.
And the American Chinese food is great for me!

We are leaving the day after tomorrow, that means I may not access myopera for a long time cuz I have no idea if the GWF would do anything to change.
Anyway, 5 weeks in the US have brought me something I'm always dreaming about,and something I never imagined before.
Thanks to my host family, Ruth, I love you and I will write to you as soon as I come back to China.
Thanks to Crystal, it was such a woderful time talking with you, and your book, I would definitely learn something about film from that.
Thanks to Sarah, you are so much caring and I do appreciate your help.
Thanks to Phil, you are the most gentle guy I've ever met in the US.
Thanks to all the people who were being so nice and helpful. Am I writing too much?!

Hope we will arrive home safely, and see you dear Minnesota.

it's getting SWEET!

I suppose Augsburg was an accident! Last 6 days we were in Concordia College, Moorhead,
and I got my mood back cuz the whole atmosphere was turning into right.
We were treated respectfully and had many interaction with some of the coordinates.
Virgil and Angela are sort of dramatic.
I don't quite stand for that emotion or you can call it passion overflow.
I feel so comfortable getting along with Phil, cuz he is gentle and caring, and he will come to China as a TA in UIC. I can't wait to see him again in September.

Tubing is so much fun!! I got all wet coming out that river on farm.
Virgil's daughter is so cute and she gave me many kisses on the lips, which definitetly woke me up at the baseball game, and she brought out many talent in front of my camera. I LOVE THAT.
We went to Fargo for some times that made this trip different cuz we were in North Dakota,another state.

Now I'm in the College of St.Scholastica which is in Dulth. I promise the next couple of days will be filled with screaming and laughing.

more pictures later.









OK, Honeymoon is Gone

I feel terribly tired in GAC(Gustavus Adolphus College), cuz the schedule was so tight and and I fell asleep during the lecture for 3 days.
We went to visit a jail, and saw the movie Transformers.
That movie was stupid. I just don't understand why they put so many people in there.
We were having fun with the kids at Jeff's house,
I think if the kids were here with me just for a moment, everything would be perfect.

Ahh, here we are at Augsburg College. They really get me down cuz either the dorm or food can't compare to BLC or GAC at all. I'm thinking about writing an email to our Vice President, and I have no idea if this situation will improve.

Lifetime Fireworks

I was not quite into fireworks before, and sometimes I was annoyed by the sound coming with it.
well, yesterday was July 4, Me and my group went to the concert by a lake in Minneapolis.
Never experience that before cuz we don't celebrate anything that way.
People were just lying on the ground,having fun chatting, walking with dogs, it was wonderful.
I have to admit that I have no that much patience for the music.
I sneaked away and got something I should never eat.
The big climax popped out when the fireworks started.
Oh God we screamed everytime when those shooting sparks
turned out to be a gorgeous look, like a golden fountains or some pictures you could never tell.
My camera was out of battery, and I dropped it in the van that took us back to GAC, St.Peter.
I couldn't live without it, so you guys can imagine how grateful I was when I found it this morning.

Heavenly Place

I have to say..it is really fantastic that i could enjoy my summer break in that way,
meeting different people, chatting freely, living place to place,
it's just so easy, breezy, beautiful.

I should never forget the MIA(Minneapolis Institute of Art). That museum is absolutely gorgeous.
The Guthrie Theater, endless bridge, blue is the new black.
Mall of America, can't believe it can heal my fever, fun of shopping.

I am now in the Bethany Lutheran College, Mankato. Spend two nights in home stay.
Guess what, I made a friend here. Crystal, she is fascinated by J-POP as I do.
What a big coincidence that we both love Namie Amuro so much
She can speak Japanese and she also knows about Utada, Ayu, Sowelu, etc,etc. I really appreciate that.
Oh God I feel so happy and comfortable chatting with her. We were together gazing stars, having fun with bonfire, catching fireflies, laughing when we found another interest in common, so sweet.

I am taking amazing pictures, later I'll let you see them.



I'm back.....and.......here I am in the US

Yes I've been disappeared for several months and I'm so surprised that you guys dropped many comments during these time. That is a big encouragement.
My blog is banned by the Great Fire Wall in China,and I was really angry about that. Thank god I escaped and here I'm in the US for a study tour around in Minnesota.
I'll add up pictures later.
Bless me!

THE LOST ROOM

The Lost Room is an American science fiction television miniseries that aired on the Sci Fi Channel.
I strongly recommend it as a must-see :sherlock:
A Policeman uncovers a key while working on a murder case.
The key can open every door and take him into a motel room,
but if you leave there something that doesn't belong to you
it will be gone as soon as the room "restarts"...
He discovers that there are objects hidden in whole the world.
They don't look special, but they have special powers.
When his daughter is kidnapped and he is framed for killing his partner,
he must find a way to bring her back from the room,
while working with different groups and men searching for all the objects.
But who can he really trust when everybody goes crazy once touching the objects...
(quoted from imdb)


I've watched too many supernatural elements stroies so far, sorry but i'm getting tired of all these stuff
about fantasy, incredible abilities and whatever. But this time i get a huuuge surprise.
I didn't even think about the goofs as i usually find somewhere eles in other episodes.
Don't get twisted as you may find it confusing when it comes to the end.:alien:

Startin’

I’m not quite sure if it is time to get started, cause I tried several times before to share my thoughts with my own in a diary or somewhere, but it didn’t work. It is pathetic that every time I feel something, I just hold back, and perhaps…I am my biggest fear.
I do care about comment, if someone flaunt his superiority to claim that he don’t give a damn what people are saying about him, he’s a fake.
All right, honesty, I’ve been cautious for many years not to offend people, I know what it tastes when I was hurt by people hurt people hurt. Everybody has a story for the reason why they are that way. And I don’t wanna push myself to have a change. But what the hell should I do with my sensitivity? I wrote it down and soon tore it up for some times and I was such an idiot that I thought it would heal someway. I should apologize to myself for the last a couple of years, when I choose to give up, sincerely.

P.S. Maybe it is not a wise choice to write with a language I cannot handle well for now, though it is easy to tell myself not to be scrupulous with accurateness, but I still struggle there somehow. OTL
