Nov 6...It is called... daylight saving? Have a monthly brunch, and a pleasant afternoon tea with nice chatting. Buy some nice books and greeting cards, and receive a call from an old friend on the west cost!

Got an extra hour today, YEAH!!! All the sadness of losing one hour from time to time when we were sailing around the globe from the west to the east on Semester At Sea has gone away!!!


And, it is called Sunday -- a day of sunshine? Really lovely reunions with friends, at brunch party, afternoon tea, and also over the phone.


I bought two books from the book store. One is The Ship -- my heart just stopped beating for a moment on seeing that huge ship on the cover! I was reminded all the great memories on the ocean! Another one is Chinese Culture and Art -- I need to learn how to introduce Chinese cultural heritage to my western friends. And I'm also gonna give this book as a present to 2012 spring Chinese voyagers!


One of my Chinese good friend was robbed on Thayer Street. Be careful, guys!
