Spring Break

If I get something beyond I expected, I will be extra happy. Such as spring break. I am so happy that I have a long break in March. Adding two weekends, there are ten days available for me. I decided to go back China. Of course, someone pushed me also. In most people's opinions, Ten days are not long enough to go broad, especially china which in another side of the earth. Everyone was surprised and didn't understand why I made this choice in such a short period of time. But I did and I feel it's worthy. Not only I met people who I missed in China, but also I found I am not a stranger in New York any more. Here, I have to mention about JFK airport twice. The first time was on March 8th, the day I left to Beijing. Ling who is my best friend in New York drove me to JFK airport. Actually, that was the day I've desired for a long time since the airticket was bought. But when I was on the way to JFK airport I even felt reluctant to leave. I wondered how I could have that emotion. But I have to tell the truth to myself, the feeling of reluctant really existed. The second time was on March 19th, the day I came back. This was the second time I arrived in JFK airport. It had big contrast with the first time. The first time was my first time I left my country come to a totally new place. Long trip made me sick and tired, homesick and strange feeling made me sad affectively. But this arrival made me feel a kind of coming back home. I called taxi myself. I saw flowers were blossoming. I even didn't feel that kind of sickness and tiredness. I had already been familiar with this city. I came back to my own room, suddenly, I was shocked. I had stood there for one minute. My mind needed time to shift from Chinese life to American life. I quickly adapted my life here and feel comfortable with it. I don't miss home like last two months. I find I'd like to live here. This is what spring break brought to me.

Travel

Travel is a big topic. I have much to say about it. But at this moment, I am alone and am talking with myself, so this post about travel will be more intrapersonal. I like travel. I've learned much from travel. Actually I am not a girl who likes reading books and talks much with others except close friends. I am more interested in what I can really see and experience and learn unconsciously from that. So travel could be a suitable way for me to learn much about the world, the society and people. There is a Chinese saying "walking thousands of miles, reading thousands of books." it means as much you've traveled, more knowledge and information you will get. Such as reading a lot of books. I've traveled some places in the world and have experienced other cultures. I know how big the world is and how other people's lives are. This helps with my own life. I will figure out more clearly about what I am alive for, what I want, what happy life is and even how I can achieve it. This seems nothing with travel. But for me, it does. Even though I am dynamic and energetic in crowds but I am intrapersonal. I always like thinking. Especially when some visual images in travel touchs my sensitive mind. Travel can bring me new experience and unlimited surprise. Even at this moment, while I am lying on bed in my apartment in New York, I am typing my post on iPad,I treat this a kind of travel, long term travel. Isn't it? I will benefit from this long term travel in my whole life. and I am.

My Hobbies

Now, let me talk about something comfortable. --- Hobby.


I have a lot of hobbies. 
Travel is the one I will keep for all my life. I've had this hobby since I was in kindergarten. My grandma and my aunties took me to many cities in China when I was a little girl. When I grow up, I traveled with friends or myself. I've been to several countries in the world such as Italy (which is the first foreign country I have been to in my life.) , France, Swiss, Germany, Austria, Nepal, New Zealand, Australia, Maldives, and the one I am enjoy now - US. I've gained much from travel. I am interested in both culture and scene. Where I want to go next is Mediterranean.  Aegean Sea and religionary culture has attracted me for a long time. Also, Tibet is my plan in this summer. I desire the place where is pure. Nowadays, our society is full of substance, profit, desire. I want to go to a place without tall buildings, commercial ADs and cheating. I think Tibet is a totally pure place which hasn't been socialized and moneized(this word was made by myself means... you guess). People who lived in Tibet still keep their original belief and haven't  pulluted by the complicated society. My dream is traveling over the world and writing something about what I saw and what I felt about my journey and my life.


Otherwise, I like fine dining, taking pictures, shopping, swimming, playing billiards, singing songs, etc.
They are not the most important parts of life, but they are necessary for me to have a colorful life. They like cheese, mushroom, bacon and pepper of pasta, without them life is tasteless. 


I enjoy life.

Scary Story

If you want to see something horrible in my blog, I am sorry, you will be disappointed. But you may find something else about me.
I've spent a long time to think about this topic-scary story. Actually I have stress about it. When I saw this topic, I felt difficult for me.
I am always a pavid girl especially pavid to the horrible imagines. I think it's because I always lack the sense of safety. I can't see the horrible movies and hear scary stories.
 Anyway. I have to complete my homework. What inopportune thing is every time I wanted to think about this topic, it was nigh time. I wanted to ask help from my friends. Calling my friends to tell me a scary story, but it made me feel timid. There was only me in a room at night. Unfortunately, I am good at imaging and I can't control it when it appears in my mind. Oppositely, more I want to control it, more imagine will appear. I am afraid of scary imagines are in my mind when it's dark. The scary imagines are not allowed to appear in my mind or they will open the door of imagination. Even I can't have a shower. When I closed my eyes to have a shower, once the bud of terror had sunshine and water, the scary imagines will appear in my mind. I felt something was behind me, or something faced to me. Even the sound of water stream was a sign of terror. But when I opened my eyes, they disappeared. One thing I wanted to do is escaping from the bathroom.
At this time, it's 1 pm. I feel relax to write this. But I must delete the memory before night comes.
