To blog like a blogger…
Views from our balcony windows include…
…a dozen of persimmon trees bearing fruits. We’ve seen the fruits turn from green to yellow to orange since we moved here.
The balcony faces a high school campus with the persimmon trees…
… that’s is beyond a wall.
And across the campus and a street, I can see people getting on and off buses every day, when I don’t have to commute to my office.
Things like big-footed modern-day barbarians and this time "lost Amazon tribe" are around in media reports. I don’t believe they are true or completely true even though they might appear in "mainstream" media outlets or are re-run in other equally "authoritative" ones.
We have to develop a sense of humor and have our own judgment when being inundated by information. I had no proof they were just cooked up. But, the picture didn’t look to me more real than Hollywood movies. Also, I don’t believe there are any areas where non-barbarian humans cannot reach on Earth, especially where there are trees in the Amazon and where there are more than 90-percent-naked tribesmen.
I’ve been very lazy in writing English posts. Partly because what I write in English here attracts a very small new audience who just reach this blog side of mine by accident and don’t stay for long. And my friends I met with blogging at Opera’s community didn’t seem to bother to be shunted over here after I was forced to move my English blog hosted with the community to my own name place (ChangGuohua.com). The community was and remains blocked by the Great Firewall of China. Other friends of mine reading my Chinese blog posts didn’t seem to give a damn about what I write in English, either. Too bad.
