科技真好！Technology is great. 6,981 miles away from home (11,235 公里) and I can see everything at home is alright. I’m glad to see the bitter melon and flowers in my mom’s garden. The vegetables and fruit she’s harvested. Some of those blueberries would be good in my yogurt. It’s nice to see my nephew’s smile and the motherly figures in the fam.

The Real Summertime Salad
watermelon, bitter melon, salt and a bit of parsley
［西瓜，苦瓜，盐，香芹］

summertime is here. i love it. HSK is history. now i can relax a bit. gotta study some sports talk. i’m going to be a volunteer. it’s official.

bitter melon, cheese, egg and sausage sandwich!
［苦瓜，奶酪，雞蛋和排骨腸三明治］

i’m not trying to boast but i’m the sandwich master. surely there are others out there but we should all take pride in our creativity. i love bitter melon. bitter melon raw is not bitter enough.

on a side note, a 12-pack of cheese is equal to five or six big bowls of noodles. just one bowl gets you full. when you can take the time to get the spices right on your sandwich and in your salad, you should know you got it better than a whole lot of other people.
［一包十二片奶酪的價錢折合五大碗麵條。吃一碗麵就能吃飽。到一個人能夠講究他喝的吃的的時候，他應該知道自己已經比很多人富有。］
