I struggled to get a decent shot for The Old Man and the Sea. Times have changed since Ernest Hemingway wrote about the struggle between man and nature, humans are now so efficient at benefiting from their natural elements that you don’t have to worry about fishing, gutting, and cooking, let alone the battle between man and beast. I’ve always wanted to go fishing, but thanks to the fishing industry and their irresponsible methods to supply the demand there will probably be nothing left by the time I get around to it. Hong Kong is also one of [...]

Kim is back in HK! Here’s a celebratory video that I can’t seem to get enough of.

Stick around till the later half of the video because I think that bit is a lot better. (Song is “G.T.i” by Zomby). 16 April, 2011 at 2.21 pm
Sorry for recycling footage, I just felt like I needed to start every entry with a video now. And I guess I really didn’t. But here is the very belated entry about the end of my trip to Gansu, which ended over a month ago! Shame on me. And I was doing so well up until this entry.

 And so here continues the summary of my travels through Gansu and Qinghai province. We begin with a video of monks playing basketball in Xiahe, Gansu. Sorry it’s such a shit angle I was very far away and on top of a hill, so basically it’s a Where’s Wally but with Yellow Hat monks… playing basketball. They look like they’re pretty good though.

We had two days off for Qingmingjie, and so instead of going away for a long weekend, I skipped 8 days of class and went on a 12 day journey around Gansu province. I’m so pleased I went and definitely don’t regret skipping so much class (actually I think I’m regretting coming back because I am really not looking forward to starting classes again tomorrow). I’m going to try and tell you what happened day by day, and this will take a while so click on for information and photos of the FIRST FOUR DAYS. 3 April, 2011 at 8.13 pm
After a week of blissfully smooth café lattes in Florence I’ve been after my high quality caffeine fix for a few days now. Verlet is a small café in the heart of Paris that specializes in tea and coffee that seemed to have the solution to this problem. Chris and I went over on a sunny Saturday afternoon to 256 Rue St Honore in the 1st Arrondissement (next to the Louvre!) to experience some of the best beans in Paris. I have to mention that everything outside and inside Verlet is this strangely pleasing shade of teal, I [...] 22 March, 2011 at 4.00 pm
Beijing Zoo, July 2007 Okay, so Anne is in Florence right now so I don’t think she’ll be blogging any time soon, unless it’s to make everyone super jealous about her awesome European lifestyle. But we have something planned so that you guys can get a little idea of what we’re doing with our lives. I’m probably heading off to Gansu & maybe Qinhai on Saturday for about 10-12 days (skipping 8 days of class… ). So that’s the beginning of April sorted. My mother’s coming to visit over Easter weekend, which is also Tsinghua’s centenary, woot! (I hear [...] |
