My Breakfast in Beijing

I had my vacation in China from the last Boxing Day to the Jan 14, 2009. On 13th(Tuesday) I took one day tour in Beijing with my video camcorder. That was a very exiting and eye-opening day.

From the early morning, I had my breakfast in a very nice and clean restaurant with variety of typical Beijing breakfast food, which you can only find out in Beijing. I had a lots of food and enjoyed them very much.

Compared to the food I had about 30 years ago when I was a student in Beijing, even though the price has been increased from less than one to ten yuan for a meal, the environment and food quality are much better. Still that breakfast costs me only about two US bucks! Here is the first post I shot to my YouTube account:



There are many other videos. I shared them to my friends one day after I came back to Calgary and they got very exited seeing these amazing people and scenes. I am going to post them in series late on.

Enjoy it!

Foot Masage

Back from China for a week. Today is Chinese New Year. By chance, I found this video piece from YouTube.com about foot massage as a way to heal physical problems:



The video, I think, is from Taiwan's TV.

My First Post to Youtube: 5.12 Sichuan Earthquake

On May 12, 2008, a disaster earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9m happened in Wenchuan country in Sichuan Province of China. So many people lost their family members in just a few of seconds. There are many sad and heart touching stories available through Internet.

I have been kept watching news and stories for this event. Today, I posted a video piece from ku6.com, a very popular Chinese youtube like web page, to Youtube. Here is the link:



With Internet, people like me can quickly and effectively provide information about what is happening in this World, and express their feelings. In a sense, learning another language, such as Chinese, is very important to know the background, real and true story about an event like this.

Beijing Olympic 2008 Songs

One occasional case when I searched for Jane Zhang, one of the most popular singers in China, on YouTube, I found so many good songs about Olympic 2008. Now there are so many Chinese participate in various events for Beijing Olympic Games 2008, including singers who contribute many beautiful songs.

The Beijing Olympic Game 2008 is a huge event in China. It touches so many people and has so much impact on China and Chinese. As I said, Chinese culture is a part of Chinese language, and Chinese culture has been very dynamic in the past thirty years (since China opened it door to the World). Outside business, sports, art and culture enter China like flood; while China embraces them and melts them into Chinese daily life. This encounter creates a dynamic Chinese culture with power and passion.

Here is a list of songs I would like to keep them in my blog.

Beijing Welcome You
