Chinese new year vacation Recently some foreigner asked me how about my Christmas and new year vacation. But in Taiwan we do not have a break in the period of Christmas and new year, so it is very normal days because we do not have the vacation. But one month later we have a 9-days vacation, it is the Chinese new year vacation. The date for Chinese new year vacation is based on lunar calendar, so the date slightly shifts in general calendar every year. The break days for Chinese new year is six days in Taiwan, but this year we are very lucky because this six days cross two weekend, so finally we have a 9-days vacation.

A personal cloud space My boss has a long lasting problem, he has an annoyance about distributing the research materials for group members. The smartest way is to apply a online space to store the materials, for example dropbox, google drive or onedrive, but the disadvantage of those online space is the space is too small. Recently I notice a convenient, and maybe suitable product for us. The technical name for that product is network attached storage, maybe I can call it as personal online space. The space of network attached storage is limited by the installed hard disk, so the space can easily be pushed to few Terabytes. Now we installed a network attached storage in our laboratory, and we hope it can actually deal with my boss' annoyance.

A special taste of tangyuan Tangyuan is a traditional dessert in Taiwan, and we eat the tangyuan at winter solstice.

Translate scientific reports by a lot of people I am a physics researcher now. When I started going on the journey to become a physics researcher, it means when I was a freshman in department of physics in the university, I always have the troubles in English textbooks, English journal papers and English scientific reports. Almost all of the knowledge about physics are written or recorded in English, it is not my native language, so I must spend a lot of time to realize the meanings of sentences in those materials. Now my English ability is improved enough to realize those meanings in a acceptable tempo, but recently I notice that a lot of materials are translated in Chinese, it was not happened when I was a undergraduate student. I very thank those people who translate those materials, it lets me learn new knowledge sooner.
