This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

American politicians often make plausible promises during elections, then fail to deliver afterwards.
Many people think that they've found out Obama belongs to the group mentioned above.
Pic - Nero
(By John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RemorsodeNero.jpg / United States public domain tag: PD-US)
Nero was an ancient Roman Emperor from 54 to 68. His notable wars included the British Revolt of 60–61 and the First Roman–Jewish War.
On another note, doesn't the once popular "Nero burning ROM" software, an optical disc burning program, have a fantastic yet provocative name? (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Burning_ROM#Name .)
