September 15 Support Taiwan join UN

I got the news from my Chicago Aunt..there will be a relay host in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, New York (Near UN building), to support Taiwan join United Nation. As a Taiwanese, I feel very sad that we are still under the Chinese political influence. Especially now a days that China control the "cheap labor" industry to support world economy...and because of that, Taiwan was pretty much ignored or isolated from most of the world organizations (WTO, WHO, etc.)

This is our last chance to be able to join the UN...if you are interested, please join us for
Peace Rally to support Taiwan to join the United Nations
Saturday, September 15th, 8am
Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, New York
(Manhattan: E. 47th St. & 1st Ave)

Harry Potter Mania

I can't believe it is only 1 month ago, that Harry Potter 7 finally came out. I felt like the book has been out forever, and I already finished the book twice.

Although English is not my 1st language, but since I've been here for about 7 years...it is not too hard for me to read the entire book (just take longer time then others). I really have to give HP credits, because of Harry Potter series, I start reading "big novel" in English. Before that, I only want to read books 350 pages or less.
To tell the truth, I still don't like how the story end (I want MORE~~~it seems there are tones of story left untold). As for the book review, just leave it to professionals...especially everybody has different preference how the story end. (I am really glad that Ron and Hermione end up together. I sense it since the 2nd book, and it gets more and more obvious). As for the 19 years later, I think I have to wait the Harry Potter Encyclopedia to figure out what is going on in that lost 19 years...(of course, Rowling will earn more money from there).

I am not too worry about feeling lost or can't find book to read after the end of HP though...Because I love to read, there are so many other wonderful fantasy novel and awesome detective novel out there (and according to the news, Rowling's next book is about detective novel as well...can't wait!!)

Oh..forgot to mention...as a HP fan, of course I went to the midnight book release party..the following is the clip I took with my digital camera. (Suppose to go to New York city, but too lazy, and end up in local B&R)

I am back..

I am back..after almost 2 years of being a slacker..In these 1.5 years, I actually did a lot of post in my Mandarin blog. But just can't find motivation to do the English one. Especially to day the same thing twice.

But since I need to practice my English writing (because I don't have a lot of chance to write anymore), I decide to start posting in this English blog. And from now on, I will post different things in this one then my Mandarin blog. Sometimes it might repeat, if it is interesting enough and I can express myself in both language. (It is really hard in writing) I know my writing sucks...usually my writing just like my speaking, instead of try to make it more elegant..but it make myself feels more real...anyway...I am back, and I will keep this blog update from now on (Of course not every day, because I hate
