Music, Movies, and Books

Sound of Silence is one of my favourite song:

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think it should be snowshoeing in Levi, Finland. I have to walk downhill on the snow. It is not as easy as I think since deep snow on the slopes cause great difficulties for us to walk downhill and you have to be careful, or otherwise, you will fall down the hill. This is one of my great experience in my life time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always willing to learn from others and share funny experiences with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides sharing funny experience of my life with hosts, I can also do some dirty works such as cleaning during my stay.
