Madeleines

Butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and love ------ all made my lovely madeleins.

Canoe train

Boating is easy! At least no traffic jam! Not have to worry too much about parking. It is like swimming, as far as you are like fish! And when one is linked to another, it will move forward itself? Would you believe it?

Eyesight Tests

How many heads are in the picture?

Where is the canal in Vaux Le Vicomte?

(Taken in Seine et Marne)

How many bubbles there?

(Taken......, well guess?)

Well, the reason I did not talk about my job hunting these days, is to avoid mental torture for the second times by trying to remember those overnight assessments, marathon style presentations and weird questions.
The most weird one: "if one of your hands is cut off, with what would you like to replace it?"

三宝殿 （Three main palaces)

One very old Chinese saying "无事不登三宝殿“ says that ”someone will not visit the three palaces until he asks for help". In the April, I happened to visit all of them. One is in the forbidden city in Beijing, called "Tai He Palace" representing peace and harmony. "Da Cheng Palace" is in Confucius Temple in Shandong province, to commemorate his success. At the foot of Tai Mountain, there is the third one "Tian Kuang Palace" in Dai Temple, representing being blessed.
