Gas Prices in Bay Area




Look at the prices of gasoline in California now. Back in summer 1992 when I was studying at University in Texas, the regular (87) gas was 99 cents per gallon. What a big difference between now and then!

We are paying the same price as Americans do, but their average  income is three times more than us. And CPC is claiming they are having deficits selling gasoline in Taiwan. What the heck!

On the third floor lived an old American woman, who had a habit of putting her feet in a basin with warm water. One day after she did the same thing again, she opened the window and shouted "Look out!" because she was to pour the water out of the window. Hearing someone saying the phrase which he understood, without hesitation this poor Taiwanese guy popped his head out of the window and ...

Happy Lunar New Year

As most of you know, our great American teacher Jon took a nice trip to Green Island over the Lunar New Year vacation. One thing that amazed me was the video clip he made about this trip. Now I would like to share that with you and also remind you that there is such a wonderful place in country. Yes, the beautiful scenery is in Taiwan, not in other countries.
