If I could change one thing about myself, I would change my big nose. One reason I would change my nose is that I want to have a more comfortable life. My big nose makes me feel annoyed. For example, when I drink something, my big nose dunks in the liquid. That is really stressful to me. Also, I have to find the right pair of glasses because my face can seem ridiculous
Another reason is that I want to recover my self-confidence. I always think negatively about my nose. My parents say it looks good on my face, but it is much too big in my opinion. Moreover, Thanks to my ugly nose, my nickname was Elephant Trunk during my school days. It was really a stressful thing. Since my school days, I have had an inferiority complex about my nose. So I want to recover my self-confidence through plastic surgery0 votedDecember 9, 20152- In this context I believe the author is comparing the place (salcott st mary) with a kitchen for artistic thieves. He is saying that they would gather everything they need at this place, much like a kitchen. The thieves are not stealing art, they are robbing people in creative or memorable ways. In this way they are artistic. Their theft is their art.0 votedDecember 9, 20151
About blind-date and marriage in China and America (2)
（continued from last note）
"How was your weekend?"
"Oh, it's great. I and my boyfriend visited his aunt. They are classical local people in Beijing and could cook special Beijing snacks, such as cabbage with mustard, leek and pork dumplings, stewed beef, and so on. We had a fantastic dinner together. After it, we took the rest of the food home."
"Sound delicious! That's amazing."
"Is it common in China to meet your boyfriend's parents before getting married?"
"Yes. How about you, or in America?"
"Oh, yes, my parents always want to know who I am dating."
"I thought in American parents don't care. Even when you are getting married, you don't need to ask for parents' permission."
"Oh, that's awful.Several years ago, it was common for the man to ask for the bride's parents' permission: can i marry your daughter? How is it in China when it comes to marriage? What is the average age for them to get married? Is it different between men and women?"
"Our average age is 24-28. Men can be later. Men need give a big amount of money to the bride's family.The amount depends on the region, for instance 200,000 or 80,000 "
"I don't like it either. I will hate it so much. It just sound very gross and very old-fashioned. The girl is like a property in her family. "
"It is a custom in China. The parents want to test the man whether he will cherish their daughter by the amount of money. But in some regions, after the wedding, their parents would return the money to their new family."
"I think we call it dowry. If the groom's family should spend some money on the bride to purchase her, we call it a dowry.Another trend that we are noticing is that, especially now, people are waiting longer and longer to have children. Maybe they get married when they are 25 or 26, but they wait until they are 29 or early-30s to have children.So there's a really long wait. Is it similar in China?"
"Yes. Because the pressure of survival is heavier than 10 or 20 years ago. More people come to the big city to look for a job or to start a new company. So they have lots of things to cope with. That's why more people consider to have children much later."
"I see. How do Chinese meet a new boyfriend or girlfriend these days?"
"I don't know. But blind-date is popular."
"Oh, scaring."
"Maybe some people find their true love in a blind-date because if you meet more people the probability is higher."
"Here a lot of people like online dating. They have online apps on their cellphone. it's called tinder."0 votedDecember 9, 20151Learn from Reading
