Reunion with Wei Wei

On this Tuesday my cousin Wei Wei came to Calgary from Stanford to visit us.  We went to the airport to pick him up.  I recognize him from a long distance away and wave my hand at him from inside of the car.  When I get out of the car I gave him a big hug.  It is my first time seen him since 1992.  I haven't seen him for 17 years in person.  My cousin Wei Wei is 1.80 meters tall and my body length is 1.78 meters so he is slightly taller than me.  On Wednesday night, My mom, my cousin, and I we sit together in front of the web cam and talked to My aunt and her husband.  It is the first time we talk together since 1992.  I hope we can do a lot more of these things from now on.  I have decided to have surgery on my brain because the seizures are affecting my everyday life.  I hope the surgery will stop the seizures.  Today, My mom, my cousin and I we went to Lake Louise, Banff, Banff Springs Hotel, Banff Hot Spring and Camore.  We borrowed a national park pass from Ru Feng for Today.  See my Facebook page for pictures and videos of 09-04-2009 Lake Louise, Banff and Camore.

Visit to Toronto

Last weekend I visited Toronto.  I had a poker tournament to play in on Saturday.  I went to a Blue Jays Baseball game on Sunday which Jays won 8 to 3 against the Los Angeles Angels.  I visited the CN Tower on Sunday.  The glass floor on the CN Tower is very unique and freaky.  I standed, sat on and lay down on the glass floor.  I visited the lookout level and also the sky pod level.  Monday, I visited Niagra Falls and took a ride on the boat Maid of the Mist and went right up close to the Canadian Fall.  There were a lot of mist almost rain landed on the boat when it got close to the fall.  Tuesday, I took a train to Kingston and took a 90 minutes boat tour of thousand islands and then went on a tourbus and took a tour of Kingston.  I stayed at Toronto Regency Hyatt on Friday and Saturday night and stayed at Jonathan and Melodie Lau's condo near Finch Subway station on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night and returned to Calgary on Wednesday.  I took a lot of pictures and videos.  I broke my camera on Tuesday night when I was taking a video of the Union station in Toronto.  I fell down and broke the camera because it is a physical damage I can not return to the store to get a new camera.  I have to buy a new camera.  I probably get the same camera I really like the camera I had.

A walk to the Duck Pond and around the neighborhood

Today is Sunday August 9th 2009.  I took a walk to the duck pond and around the neighborhood.  The weather is nice and sunny.  I took some videos and pictures of ducks in the pond and around the neighborhood.  Check them out on facebook. 


One Wonderful Day

Today is Saturday August 8th 2009.  In the morning a group of us went to pick Saskatoonberries on a farm just outside of Calgary and some of us bought wines at the winery.  The place is called Field Stone Fruit Wines in Strathmore.  There were nine of us Agnes, Flora, Sandra, Phoebe, Paulo, Clement, Nicky, Delaine and me.  Check out the videos and a picture on facebook.  The Saskatoonberries we pick taste good.  For lunch, we ate noodles in a Vietnamese Restaurat (Pho Kim).  In the afternoon, I napped a little bit on the sofa.  In the evening, Clement, his friend Tayler, and me we went to see the Calgary Stampeders to play against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.  I bought a hotdog and a beer (coorslight - certified cold) during the game.  The Calgary Stampeders won the game.  I didn't bring my camera with me so I can't post any pictures or videos on the facebook.  The weather is good for the whole day Sunny, not too cold, not too hot.  All in all, one wonderful day.

Today I am organizing photos from my European trip in summer of 2000.  I spent 3 weeks and visited London of United Kingdom, Luxemburg of Luxemburg, Amsterdam of Netherlands, Paris, Strasburg, Cannes and Nice of France, Rome of Italy.  I had a short peek of Brussels of Belgium and Zurich of Switzerland.  I spent a little less than three thousand Canadian dollars including airfare and train pass.  I stayed mainly in hostels.  I stayed with Min in a Five Star hotel in Luxemburg because at that time she is working in Luxemburg.  I stayed with Robert when I was in the Netherlands.  I spent the last two weeks of June and the first week of July in Europe.  The next time I go to Italy I will have to in May because it is too hot and humid in June and July.  My wallet got stolen when I was in subway in Rome nothing important was lost only a few dollars.  Some money got stolen from me when I was on the train leaving Rome to go to Zurich not too much money.  Next time I go to Italy I will have to be extremely carefully where I put my money because there are a lot of thieves in Italy especially Southern Italy for example Rome.  What I like to do for fun is experience different things.  I want to enjoy life.  I probably only need to take one more trip to Italy to visit Sicily, the leaning tower at Pisa, Florence, Venice, Milan and Rome.  I want to visit Paris, Cannes, London, Amsterdam, and Luxemburg again.  I want to visit Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungry, Switzerland, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Seoul and Jeju Island of South Korea, Tokyo of Japan, The long river, The great wall, the yellow river, the yellow mountain, the five major mountain, the exotic valley in Four Valley province of China, the five Southern cities including Shanghais, Beijing of China, the Caribbean’s, South America including Brazil.  South Africa, Australia.  Take wild life tours in South Africa and Australia.  I also want to visit different cities in North America and attend different major sports event around the world.
