100 Days Challenge Day 2.1 - Cyber Privacy How much of privacy you have in the States? Starting from the basic Google search, by putting the name in the search engine, tons of information will pop up, such as social media page, basic information, employer information, etc. If you want to get more detail with this person, Zillow is a great next step. In Zillow, you can easily find out what's the market price and/or recent sale price for the property you are looking for. Also, most county website keeps an record of the owner of this property, the property tax amount, the date the property tax gets paid? Find it crazy? No, this's just an entry level search with zero skill. Here are more. If you know some specific websites, more stunning exposure gonna be on your screen in a few seconds. There is a website called Truepeoplesearch. Just by entering name and relevant state, very likely, the person's relatives, current address, previous address would show up. Moreover, there are websites for criminal records ( from traffic tickets to felony), affair search, and so on. Let me know how you feel about your privacy in the States.

Question - Work Related In a work email, is it appropriate and polite to use phrase "" make your life easier"? I mentioned in one following up email that" Would it make your life easier if I contact their personnel directly? If so, could you direct me to the appropriate staff please? Any of your help is greatly appreciated!"

100 Days Challenge Day 1.1 - My Princess - 九儿 Greg and I had been thinking of having our own cat for a while. When we settled down and moved together, we thought it was the time to get our first pet. We decided to take a look in a nearby animal shelter. As we stepped into the interaction area, several cats came to us and rubbed against us, seems like they were saying: " adopt me, adopt me." except one cat staying in the litter box in the corner. We approached to her. She's like 5 inches long and has pretty fluffy grey fur all over her body. She looked at us with her innocent shiny eyes. She looked shy and timid. We tried to pull her out of the litter box. She didn't struggle against us, but curled up in the spot we put her at. She's obviously scared, We tried to comfort her and petted her. She lowered her head, leaned her head against my hand, and started purring. I felt melting at that moment. That's how I find my princess. What about you? **I decided to start from day 1 again since I skipped a couple day on my 100 days challenge project.

100 Days Challenge Day 1 - Camping Few weeks ago, I camped with a couple friends in Assateague National Park. It is a wonderful place to observe wild horses and to enjoy a beach time without the crowd. Our camp site is very closed to the ocean. We can hear clearly the sound of waves crashing on the shore and ebbing. We sat on the shore, listening to this relaxing sound of ocean until the sun fade away from the edge of the ocean. D and G put up the campfire. P made the barbecue, while JJ was adjusting his ukulele. All night long, we sat in front of the campfire, singing along with the ukulele, and gossiped about what happened around us, just like what we had in college time. This trip starts my camping journey.

100 Days Challenge Day Zero I am challenging myself with writing English in this community for continuing 100 days. Today is the announcement day. I would sincerely appreciate if you could correct my English. Making a bow to all of you!

Random fun fact about human body It is interesting to know that human start out with 300 bones, and when we turn to be an adult, I are only going to have 206 bones. The tricky part is that some of your bones start out to be small pieces and transform to one large bone when you grow up. I appreciate your correction.

Happy St Patrick Day So many people wears green and swarms into the street today. Although there is no meaning for the green dressing code, it just fit in everyone wears green. Haha I like the thought of involvement.

What Makes You Like A City?

I like a lot of cities.

 

I like my hometown for it feels like spring all year around, for I know every inches of it. I would sit in xxx Cafe if I want spend a quiet afternoon reading books or just seeing people walking around. I would go climbing xxx mountain if I want some outdoor exercise breathing fresh air. Moreover, I have close friend I know from I was a kid to hang out with anytime. Most important, I have my families around, so no matter where I am, what I do, my heart is always peaceful and enjoyful without panic. 

 

I like Phuket, Thailand, for all the activities with elephants, for being able to live in a room with pool with a affordable price, for the sea adventures. I like Singapore for its clean, for it's familar and strange to me at the same time, for sweat durians. I like Puerto Rico for its unique bio bay, which is one of the most beautiful scene I have ever seen, and I like going horse riding along the oceanline in Vieque Island. I like Philly. I like running along the Schulykill River Trail early in the morning or late in the afternoon with the sunset in the end of sky. 

 

There are also some cities I like not as much as I expected. I thought I would love Seattle for Mountain Reiner and its comfortable weather. I thought I would love New York for its skyline and its variety like every big cities do. I thought I would love Boston for the seafood for its full of beautiful campus and brightest people. However, I don't. For me, those cities are just a city I have been to. I don't hate it but I don't have much impression on it either. 

 

I think my like and dislike for a while, then I get an answer for myself. It is not about city. It is about me. For those cities I like, I travelled there or lived there with a good accompany, from which I enjoyed a lot. For those cities I don't have much feeling, I had a bad mood or a bad accompany at that time. Every city has its good side and bad side. How I enjoy it depends on which side I see the place, which for me results from a good accompany that I can share the good and bad together. 

 

What about you?
