About Me

Well ... well....
My name is ash. I am an exchange Ph.D. student between China(shanghai jiao tong university) and US (university of California, Berkeley). Although I couldn't get much useful information about many international cultures throughout the world , I have already communicated with many tourist people and international students during my movements to a few countries and I achieved many huge benefits about a lot of enthusiastic and freaky interactives with other people through this way and I am pretty dead sure it is the best way both to find and to get reasonable recognition from others by spending a certain time together.
I definitely believe to three important things:
1. Respecting to any idea and believes and religious .
2. future where you can dare to dream.
3. Significant agent to put away you from your targets and goals is your mind`s power in your life.
Finally, I am a citizen of the world without any international borders.
No prejudice behavior, bias and any other thing like that...
I only pay particular attention to current moment not only past moments but also future moments.
****** Important Info: As I said you before I am exchanging Ph.D. student between US and china and unfortunately during a month go till now I could not remember my pass and especially in china I have any no access to my Gmail and for this reason I am forced to set this new profile but I asked from my friends around the world please give me a big favor of writing their references again.
1. I hosted Kate and Katrine- Germany
2. I hosted Martyna Pachuca- Poland
3. I invited Cecilia and her friends for a dinner meeting-Germany
4. I invited Friedman and his girl friend for lunch meeting- Paris-France

This is all of my loyalty and honesty as a member of this useful and effective website.
Wish you the best and memorable moments

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's definitely not as amazing as some of the things mentioned in this website, and might actually be a common sight for many people, but it had me dropping my jaws when I first saw it last year.

I was in an overnight flight flying from the direction west to east, sitting by the window. The journey was quite boring with most people asleep on the flight or glued on to their screens and I kept trying to see if I could make out anything amidst the pitch black darkness out of the window (it must have been around 3:30-4 AM).

Suddenly I saw a very thin and long horizontal ray of light in the distant, in the direction the plane was flying towards. It was so faint, that I dismissed it for the first few minutes as possibly an illusion. But I got curious as it kind of got stronger (but only by a small margin) as the minutes passed by.

I was trying to guess what it could be, but didn't have much clue as I knew the area we were flying over/towards didn't have any superstructures to emit that kind of light, nor a night-view of a town/village/city produces such light. Moreover, I could see it only on the horizon, and as soon as I turned my head about 15-20 degrees to the right, to see just outside my window or behind, it was as dark as it could be. I repeated the exercise many times and rubbed my eyes to confirm that there ACTUALLY IS some light in the horizon with darkness all around it, and the skies to my right and behind are also dark.
