One of My Favorites


Someone won't let me post this on Facebook, so I did it here.
It was taken during Tasted of DC, right next to Freedom Plaza.  Lobster roll was delicious, so was Japanese style hotdogs.

Newseum Trip


Capitol looked good, so did Jolin. 
Jolin purchased tickets on Groupon, 50% of the original price.  Ri Ben Xiao Ge and Billy Ye came with us to Newseum the day before Thanksgiving.  Pretty impressive exhibitions about 911 and media development there. 

Pumpkin Curving


Why so surprised?

Occupy Washington


The Occupy movement has been around for nearly half year now.  This was taken during the Occupy Washington at Freedom Plaza.

Turkey Day 2011


THIS IS THE BIRD!!!   We all gathered at Jolin's place for this Thanksgiving.  We had hot pot for dinner and tons of cookies for dessert.  The turkey came out of oven at 9pm after being in there for almost 7 hours.  Although it's not as juicy or tasty, not bad for the first time.

Happy Holiday!

Roosevelt Island

Roosevelt Island look like a place of barbarian from the outside.  Well, it's still kind of like it from the inside.  However, it provides a 100% natural forest in the middle of the city.  It locates by Potomac River and has the complete view of Georgetown Waterfront.
There are lots of ducks on the bank.  Amazingly, they are not afraid of humans, even when I took a picture so close, they ignored me as if I didn't exist.

Other Side of Waterfront

Never see waterfront from the front?  Here it is.  I was on the George Washington Parkway taking this picture.  It was the last sunny day before a rainy week.  Such a magnificent view on the bridge!  Only took several minutes walk from Kennedy Center.
