Snowing

Times Square Ball Drop attracts a million people every year. It has been held more than one century, and has become a big event of NYC. The last day of 2005, everyone came from all over the world, and went to Times Square to welcome the whole new year - 2006. However, Ball Drop's charm not only lures human beings but also Nature. Sonw arrives at New York City this afternoon rapidly and suddenly. I believe she doesn't want to miss the one of the great events in the world.

Dream Comes True

Carol, back and right, my former classmate at Queens College, and her husband, Allen, back and left just opened their small drink shop - OHANA - this month. OHANA in Hawaiian means family; interestingly this word also has the same pronunciation in Japanese, which means flower. It is very difficult to open a shop, especially in America, I think. When I went to visit them, they did not have some many customers. However, it just began. From Allen's face, I can tell that he enjoys working with their small shop because this is his dream. I hope you all can make your dreams come true someday because this is the most joyful event in the lives.

First snow

In the early morning of December 4, while I was sleeping, snow arrived at NYC quietly. When I woke up in the morning, I was so shocked because I didn't expect the snow. Snow's coming also indicates winter comes. Meanwhile, I heard from Kenny that Taiwan was also very cold and some people even went to some higher monutains to wait for snow. In Taiwan, obviously, snow is very precious, but in New York City, where I'm living, snow is something I'll have every winter. I even don't feel that I like snow so much, probably I have too much.
