My life in U.S.: Jan 7, 2006

I am back to Durham!

I was finally coming back to Durham, a city of snow. I loved snowing here. I arrived in Boston yesterday afternoon. Boston was so cold, which made me freezing. I jumped from summer to winter. Today was sunny here, and the sky was so clear and nice. Someone made a snowman outside my room, which was huge. I felt so comfortable to be here because I was now becoming a country girl. I didn't like the crowd and noisy in the city, and I enjoyed the peace in countryside. I didn't know anything about fashion now, and I realized I was totally out of fashion after i came back from Los Angeles. My friends in China couldn't get on my blog at all, i didn't know why. What a pity. I really wanted them to share my happiness and sadness. Anyway, I knew there was a piggy somewhere could always get on this blog, which was awesome.

2006 New Year in New Hampshire!

Behind me was Hampton Beach, which was close to my university. Driving 30 minutes from campus, we can enjoy the view of Atlantic Ocean. I loved beach and ocean, enjoying swimming in the early morning in the sea and you would feel that the whole ocean belongs to you, which was really awesome. Unfortunately, it was too cold before the New Year, otherwise I would like to dig into the ocean. My friend Gianna had a romantic story here, so she wanted to take me here and shared her romantic story with her.

Right before the New Year of 2006, my friend Gianna took me to the downtown Portsmouth, which was an old and small town near our university. I loved this town so much, which always gave me a feeling of Europe. It was a town full of romantic. Having a cup of coffee Latee in the morning and enjoying the sun rising was my favorite moment here. The bridge behind me had more than 200 years, which still worked well now.

Celebration of my graduation!

My graduation party was right before Christmas, so we also celebrated our Christmas at the same time. My Greek friend Gianna was dressing traditional Japanese Kimono at that time!

My friends prepared a party to celebrate my graduation from my Master Degree in Economics. They made a small chocolate cake for me, which was really delicious. I ate the whole cake in this plate that day!

Thanksgiving!

Rika and I went to our American friend's Richard's house during Thanksgiving to have a traditional dinner. There was a big turkey behind me. We had salad first, and then turkey, which was really big and nice. After that, it was our favorite food: Pumpkin Pie! I love it!

The boat behind me was the May Flower Boat, which was the one the first British Immigrant used to come to U.S. in 18 Century. It was taken in Plymouth, Massachusetts. I was traveling there during this Thanksgiving!

Trip to North Carolina

The ocean behind me was Atlantic Ocean, the other side of this ocean was Europe. My friend Piggy and her potato were studying there. Maybe one day I could swim across this ocean and go to their animal zoo. I was in Atlantic Beach!

Celeste and I went to the Sarah P. Duke Garden, which would be more beautiful during the summer!

Last winter, I went to North Carolina with my friend Celeste. We went to the famous Duke University and the church behind me was the Chapel Hill in Duke!
