The conversation at Eson Cafe Yesterday afternoon, I met Judy with her husband Leo and Esther at Eson Cafe. I haven't seen Judy and Leo since last April. Judy is elegant, while Leo is facetious. They are the founders of an English Club named MINS in Qingdao, and created a DM magazine. Esther, was an English training teacher, is working as a tutor after getting married. At beginning, we talked in English, but after a while, we three people began to speak in Chinese without being noticed. It made Leo feel boring. So he would make jokes when he caught some Chinese words he knew to remind us he'd like to join in. We are planning to organize an English Corner at Chengyang Dist. and have activities in regularly. I really look forward to it.

Stephen Markbreiter and Tuyet Nguyet Stephen Markbreiter and Tuyet Nguyet are couple. Tuyet is from Vietnam, and was a journalist. She met Stephen in Hong Kong in 1958. They married next year. They both love collection and publish a magazine, Arts of Asia. They collected numerous statues of Buddha. But now, they have to auction 6 of them. Because they want to buy a house in Hong Kong. What a pity! Hope some sciential and serious collectors can have them.

Alone or Lonely My friend introduced a vidoe to me today. It's a class by a nice woman teacher from Fudan University. In her opinion, ALONE is very different from LONELY. Nowadays, people need to be alone. When we are alone, we can look inside and check ourselves, getting rid of mass informations surrounding us every day. But LONELY, it means the sense of loss, feel cold in heart. So, ALONE is a kind of spirit, but LONELY is a kind of sickness.

Walk and Talk My parents and I have a walk every morning and evening. A 108-years old man said the best exercise is walking, and the key to have a long life is always feeling happiness. Of course, I wish my parents healthy and happy. And I really enjoy the time of walking with them. We talk the funny things when I was a child, they tell me the stories about their youth. I hope the road is endless and we can walk and talk without stop.
