Mountain Hua(华山） Climbing Mountain Hua was one of my dreams when I was little and It was done last summer, now this is a new year and a new beginning, I'd like to summarize that trip of climbing Mountain Hua. Even I was preparing my final exam in college I started to organize this trip. Everything was going well, my friends in Xi'an they were so excited to get my invitation that promised they will go with me when I finish all of my exam and back home. I was very happy when I got their messages ,because of that my exam had a very good result. I backed home three days later that made my parents very happy, and they give me their totaly support about my trip. First of all I need to contact my friends and made a final date to climb mountain together, we need a meeting. Everything was good and I thought this plan would be executed very soon, but there are some problem that may destory the whole plan. those parents of my friends didn't allow them to go climbing because they don't think it is safe and my friends they all made compromise with their parents by quiting this trip. I have to say I was so disappointed, I am the only one who was still fighing. I had to go climbing individually and I need money too. After three weeks part-time job I got some money and my mothe give me 500,these should be enough. Finally I was going to go climbing. My time was limited so I had to get there by high-speed rail and that's what I planed and that's waht I did. The ticket I bought form Northern train station of Xi'an to Huan Shan, it cost me fifty yuan, much more cheapper than I thought and just took me thirty minutes to get there. That was so cool and I found a hotel. To be continued......

Life in dorm 1 I am a college student in Kunming YunNan Province, but my hometown is in Xi'an ShanXi Province. There years ago I was a freshman in here but now I am not any more, so many interesting thinngs happend in my dormitory and now I have time to share these with you. There are six people in my dorm and we were strangers at the begaining, they are our members: Xu Li(L)，Tinglong Yu(Y), Shu Qing(Q), Zurong Wu(W), Zhenchao Zhang(Z), Lingyu Meng(M). Even we were strangers at begaining but those people from other provinces could get colse very quickly, they were M,Z,W and Q. I think that everybody would be curious when they were in a new place, but everyone had their own auestions about this new place. M is from Hebei Province which is very cold place in winter, he asked us a question" I know it might be stupid to ask but where is the heating installation?". As we know Kunming is a very warm place even in winter and it has a name called" spring city"because it is warm in four seasons. Of course we laughed but afer laughing Q told him:"We don't need this suff in Kunming, what we need is bathroom." I have to say Q hit the point, because the room we lived in is a club room( a very small room for students playing tabletennis or other sports). New students' apartment building was coustructing so we can't move into a new one with bathroom until those buildings done. Q and W are from Guangxi Province and they like taking shower everyday, I understood. And then they asked Z " What you think?" Z answered:' I don't know but I just hope I can get used to the native dishes, I am very parptcular in food.” They asked again" So what you like to eat." '" It's hard to say, as long as dishes taste good I can eat. If you really want an answer, I prefer nooldes. I from ShanXI after all." The next is about native students L and Y. I can't tell you but I could not understand what they said at the first, they spoke mandarin with a very special accent, so do other natives and this accent almost made me crazy. This is my first day as a newcomer here and stories happend next are more and more interesting.

Can you help?

I am a student at college and I get my girlfriend here, she is a native but I'm not. My mother wants me to back home after my graduation(my college is far from my hometown), besides I would like to continue my higher education as a postgraduate and I want to study Engineering of Nuclear Reactors(there is no unversity can offer this major for me in her hometown). I told her about my plan and she told me she wants to stay at her place. That means we might  break up... she is such a nice girl and I love her so much...

what should I do????????????????

How to conserve water in big cities. Conserving water has became a popular topic in our life and the government think it is a good project for water saving and water protection. As we know big city always has problem in water supply just like Kun Ming. When I was a newcomer in here I realized this city has worse problem than other cities do because it has to suffer continuous drought at least four years. Finding a new war to conserve water is necessary and importantly, it will benefit us and our children. So the government is thinking of some methods to conserve water and here are my ideas about it. The government should improve water price appropriately, when people find they would spent much money in water they will save water of saving money. Using the water economizer, it can be a good way to save water. It reported that the water economizer could save 30L water in one family, and there is thousands of family in a big city that would be a big number. Even we have ways to save water but the most important is we should know what can we do and what should we do instead of doing nothing. So conserve water is a long trip and needs all of us help.
