Taking a short break

Came back to hometown, ate some home cooked food, read a lot of old National Geographic magazines and slept for so long.

One thing about National Geographic magazine is that, you will never get bored of it. There is something new to learn everyday, even though we are reading the past issues. For example, recently I went to Sulaymaniah in Iraq, I did not know much about them before I went there. Even now, I still don’t know much about that place. I thought it is just like part of Iraq, but they are not. They don’t consider themselves to be part of Iraq. I saw an article in NGS dated back in 2002, they covered an article on Kurdistan. It allows me to learn so many things about them. Last time probably when I read it, I thought, gee, what’s this place? Why would I care? But after I have been there, it seems to be so much interesting reading what others have written about that place.

PC crashed :(

My HDD decided to quit on me after 2 years and 9 months of continuous operation. I wish it could have lasted longer.

Hopefully I have some spare ones ready for replacement.

Hardware comes cheap nowadays, it's the information inside that matters.

Would need to try to recover all the old pictures inside before it go busted completely.

Going back to hometown this weekend, after traveling outside the country for so long, it is good to go for a local trip once in a while.
