Tsinghua University

Learned a lot about my school today when editing photos taken in Tsinghua University. The campus is huge, with many historical buildings. It felt like walking in Stanford. I felt emotional being there, because we are the same school separated by civil war, and finally see each other again after its 100-year birthday. Except the name, I didn't know the two school had so many things still the same. Thanks to Wikipedia.

2012 New Year


Smoky beginning of the year

Happy New Year to all! As usual, we watched the Taipei 101 fireworks from our window. Due to the weather, it was especially smoky this year. You could actually see a huge cluster of smoke slowly moving outward, and it continued to grow instead of being blown away by wind. Anyway, you can always find better videos or photos online, but there's only one place to let my two little kids watch the fireworks in a warm room and then go to sleep in minutes, for free.
