Do You Eat Animals and Insects?
Some animals and insects are delicacy in some part of the world. In china, there are eight culinary cuisines in total, such as Sichuan cuisine well known for its numb and spicy food, like hotpot and fish filet in chili oil.
Food culture is largely depending on geographic regions. Eating animals and insects is no exception. In north China, people normally eat animals like chicken, pig, duck, fish, donkey and some also eat cicada, silkworm pupa and other insects. While in south China, it is said that they eat everything with legs other than desk and things without legs like snake. I don't know whether it's real or not. The thought of eating rats or snake is downright disgusting to me, though they may taste good.
Though insects are a great source of heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids, according to the Mexican researcher, people still face challenges to eat them, and I guess the biggest one is getting over the ick factor.
What animals and insects have you ever eaten?

The True Freedom
People nowadays talk about human rights more than ever before. This reminds me of a word-the freedom that we young people always keep on saying and going after. What is the true freedom?
I have ever read a story saying that the indigenous in Indonesia captures monkeys with a very interesting method. They put monkey's favorite food into a bottle with mouth that only allows a stretched hand to go in and come out. The monkey will put its hand into that bottle to catch the food after discovering this bottle and then tries to take its closed hand out, which is impossible because of the small mouth. In the matter of fact, this monkey can take its hand out as long as it gives up the food it is holding. However, the monkey doesn't want to let the food go and therefore gets stuck over there. It is very easy to catch it by then.
This monkey chooses food over freedom and food is desire, so I think people will get the true freedom only if he/she let the desire go. This is identical with what Buddhism advocates. But it's very hard for normal people to accomplish it.

Have a Nightmare
I had a nightmare just now and I was so depressed that I woke up. It was about my former manager, a very clever lady who was very good at tactics. I was kicked out of that company two years ago, because she thought I was a threat to her, and I was not the only one kicked out for this reason. There were four workmates ahead of me.
In my nightmare, this clever lady teased me for a report, which in her mind was not polished, with another young girl, the receptionist of our company, which was what she always did when I was in that company. I know she did it for embarrassing me and showing herself off, especially in front of others. And I was so angry about it, not because she teased me, but because she did it for embarrassing me and showing herself off. So I quitted this job and I grabbed her hair before I left. She told this to our president, and I got a public warning as punishment. I wanted to explain to our president, but he was very busy with a meeting with a foreign business partner. I eventually calmed down, but thinking of what the lady did to me, I was so angry that I woke up.
It's been two years since I left that company, but I still remember that lady. I felt like I had always been a scapegoat to her since I entered into that company after knowing that she always told the president that it was me who made mistakes for something that actually was did by her. I had no chance to do explanations to the president, because I knew all these things after I left. People would never tell you the truth when you are in the game. How sad it is.

Confusion
I have butterflies in my stomach recently. One month ago, one of my friends called me from Japan that she wanted to corporate with me to do business. She has sold swimsuits for years in Japan market. Now she was planning to expand European and American market. I was selected into her potential partners list for my acceptable English skills, as she can only speak very little English, obviously a far cry from enough. I feel like I am in a dilemma. On one side, It's better to do something than nothing, moreover, it may take me money; on the other side, I am totally a rookie in this field, as I don't know very much about sales, such as profit distribution, which is the biggest headache to me. Though I don't have to do sales alone, but I guess my friend and I have to talk about the profit distribution before our cooperation and I am a little worried that the money would hurt our friendship if it could not be well dealt with. Moreover, the shop will be registered online by the name of my friend's company, so I can not rule out the possibility that she would dump me after the shop is launched. Another friend of mine suggested me to charge fees for launching this shop, which I think is very good idea. It's just like millions of things in my mind. Oh, I wish I were "Monk Yixiu", a character in a Japanese cartoon, who is very good at thinking about difficult things.

How to Learn American Culture Fastly?
I have learned English for many years, though for the purpose of exam. However, I found that it's very difficult to speak English like a native speaker if one person doesn't know the culture of an English-spoken country, since you are not able to think and speak in a native speaker's way. Do you know how to learn American Culture fastly?

Movie Recommendation
Yesterday is my grandma's 90-year old birthday, but I cannot go home. To make it up, I went to see a movie called "Xun Long Jue", a fascinate movie that I thought is the best and most interesting movie I have ever seen till now. It is about three Mojin xiaowei (grave robber) who have gotten out of this business in America going back to China and exploring a thousand-year tomb because they found their first love who was died for saving their lives twenty years ago may still be alive.
Given tomb robbery needs a lot of skills, including but not limited to good Kongfu, knowledge of "Yin Yang Bagua ( the eight diagrams which is a combination of three whole or broken lines formerly used in divination) and traps, it's sort of mysterious and adventurous, like Tomb Raider acted by Angelina Julie.
Well, anyone who is interested in this movie may leave a message about e-mail or similar, I would send it to you. Don't worry about the lanuage, there is English subtitle.
