亲爱的日记 (或亲爱的网络)

三月底的时候我用英文写了一个博客文章,让我想多了。现在我想试试用中文写一张。首先,不好意思,我非常长的时间没写(打)中文了!还有,这个主题自是过去年的印象,印象也对自己的想发,等等。好了,我试试开始! 很有意思啊,我写了英文张博客的时候是刚从青海省西宁市回香港的。我现在写这张,也在西宁了!太重合了!:)

Dear Diary (aka the interwebs)

With my love for food (although not always the vegetarian kind), I hope I can provide some useful and insightful information [...]

华侨 (HuaQiao) vs. 华人 (HuaRen)

When I first arrived here in China, people would ask “where are you from?” or “你是哪国人?” And I’d respond, I’m from the States, 是美国的. Sometimes they were confused, how could an Asian-looking person be from the States? Other times they asked again, “Are you an overseas Chinese?” “华侨啊?” Sometimes they would use “huaqiao” and sometimes [...]
