a new member to my collections

Hahahaha, I have added another member to my collection. I was very excited when I got it. It is called Diana Mini. The really cool thing about it is that it can use 35mm format film, but develop medium format film images. In addition, it can do half frame, which means I can take 72 pictures with a 36 exposures film.

China Bistro!

I finally went to China Bistro after I heard so much about it and it is not bad. I was very satisfied.

Scallion pancake. It is pretty acceptable in terms of taste.


Dumplings. This is what they are famous for and it is the best I have ever eaten in the States.


This is a Beijing noodle but it is not very good. There's a really strong dry black bean taste in the sauce, but the noodles are handmade.

instant noodle

Maybe to a lot of people instant noodle is just instant noodle. However, to me there is difference between different noodles. The noodle above is the best instant noodles I have ever tasted. The texture, flavor, and amount is in perfect proportion, just how I usually like my noodles.

Site Seeing at Georgetown

I went to Georgetown for site seeing. Here are some of the pictures, other than the ones I needed for class, that I took from Georgetown.

October 3, 2009

It was the Chinese Full Moon Festival last Saturday, so I took a picture of the moon on that day. I do not know much about the holiday, all I know that the full moon on that day is the biggest and brightest. It is a tradition that we eat moon cake while enjoying the moonlight outside.


I wished that the lamp post was not there because it is really distracting.
