The Amish I read an article about the Amish who are living in America recently. Today, some of these people live in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They lived in British before serval hundred years ago. Because religious wars between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestants , the Amish people is one of the splinter groups formed outside of Rome's religious rule who are the particularly conservative, rural Christants situated in what is today America. And , the Amish Mennonities, are so conservative that they made more enemies than friends. They want to preserve their peculiar traditional lifestyle,so they began to British colonies and terriotes in about 1700's (before the United State were formed as independent country). There they found a place that is religious freedom they had sought. As we all know, America is a rock and roll, modern and lead fashion scenes. But few Amish get ride of their traditional lifestyle to enter mainstream American society. They still drive buggys instead of cars. Their life is quite and placeful. As modern daylife is so complicated,their simple way of life might seems to make more and more sences.

Could anyone tell me what the large metropolitan about is and how to use? I read a sentence which is "Foreign tourists feel more secure here than in most other large metropolitan areas in the U.S." . The adjective "large" makes me confused. I think metropolitan is used to descript a big city. It's mean which includes large.Why does "large" here be used to descript metropolitan? Isn't it excrescent here? Could anyone tell me why ? And Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.

How old are you? I've made a new friend yesterday who she is from Armenia. First , we talked about her Chinese name. There are two Chinese words "莉" and "利". That's an interesting conversation. And , of course, we have different points each other. But that's OK. People ,of course, who has right to chose their names by themselves. Second, I wanna start a Chinese subject. Then, I said "As I know, in Western countries, ask new friend's age especially women that is not considered polite. But in Chinese, that's OK. What's your point?" . I said the subject in Chinese. Then she send me a voice message. "Sorry but I don't understand." I reply with smiles "That's Ok. ....." . I send the subject in English. Then she told me "If someone who looks like 35 - 40 years old. Asking age is not polite. But to young, it's OK." Then I reply with laugh "I was born in 1981." . Do you guys smile when you read about this? haha ... I love to meet foreign friends and love to talk about culture. That's fun.

Breakfast Today I learnt an article that it is about breakfast. As we all know, most people around the world are in the habit of eatting 3 meals since long years ago. But nowadays, becase we often in the hustle and bustle , many people miss their breakfast. That's not good. Not only is breakfast is very import meal of a day, it is also to eat at the right time as well. They say, the timing of breakfast might affect one's performance at work or in school. For instance,people who eatting breakfast 30 minutes before at work ,then they might do far better than others who eatting nothing. So we living in this cutthroat society,and have to meet many challenges. If we don't get enough energy for our body, how shall we stand a chance when it comes? Are you guys in the habit of breakfast?

Thailand jounery I've been in Thailand this summer. I went to Phuket with my family and friends. My English is not so good. But through physical action and some key words, I can communicate with person who can speak English. I took plane from NanKing to Hongkong, then transfer to Phuket. That's an awful long ride. The plane encountered turbulent flow. That really drove me crazy! When I arrived at Phuket and went to the hotel , after check in , I run to the bathroom as quickly as I can. I vomit my head off. That was my abroad traveling for the first time . So just in about 20 minutes, I jumped into swimming pool and playing with my son . For those we Chinese, wonderful vacation usually equals to "time flies".How sad is! To make matter worse, when I at the counter of Phuket international airport, the attendant asked "Sir, I'm afraid you can't ...". He really scared the life out of me.At that moment, I was very panic. "Sorry, but what's wrong?" I asked with trembling tone. I didn't understand what he say. I misunderstood that I can't leave for home. It turned out to be that he wanted me fill out a form . Some one else who are Chinese told me what he wanted in Chinese.Finally, I got the form done. And I was embarrassment to no end. That's funny tale. And,of course, I love traveling to no end.

The Number is Evil Today is Jan 26th.There are 13 days away of Chinese New Year. Every people who live in China is hoping the day come. I , however , have learned the No.13 is a evil number in west world. Many people know about it, but how many people know what is the evil number in China? That's a funny question. It's none of any story, just about pronounce. In China, sometimes No.4 is bad. Its pronounce like the English word which is "die". No one can afford to waste time. No matter the number is 4 or 13, we must trying our best.
