My god daughter Connie 


Life in China: I was born in Chengdu, a beautiful city in southwest China. At the age of 18, I left my hometown and went to Beijing.

Sydney, Australia: Trip to Australia is enjoyable. Sydney is a visitor friendly city.

I prefer to feeding Kagaroos instead of Ostrich in Sydney. Unfortunately, the following day in a banquet, the food they are serving is KANGAROO MEAT! :(
Yes, it is a real Koala! Too cute to be real, right? :)

Tampre, Finland: SIGIR 2002

Tampere is a small city in Finland with a feeling of a town.

Paris, France: A city of romance, a city of art, a city of history, and a city of imaginations, Paris is one of the most beautiful city in the world.

Musée du Louvre is one of the greatest art in the world.
Experience the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci from Mona Lisa's Smile.

Canada: I visited Canada twice in the past two years. The first time I drived to Toronto with Wei, and the second time I took a flight and landed in Vancouver. The feeling is different.

Niagara Fall is not as big as me :)
