Hiking and Chung Yeung festival
October 30th, 2006No econometrics class today because of the Chung Yeung festival.
Here’s a traditional poem read during the holiday:
As a lonely stranger in the strange land,
Every holiday the homesickness amplifies.
Knowing that my brothers have reached the peak,
All but one is present at the planting of zhuyu.
Hmm… is my family planting zhuyu back in the US without me?! Has Sam already reached peak? Am I the one not present?!
According to Wikipedia “…it is customary to climb a high mountain” today. So that’s exactly what we did… click on the photo below for more…

Hey Brayn seems like your enjoying yourself. Sorry about missing your call; try around 23:00 midwest time sometime. Take it easy and enjoy the sites for me.
