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.

To a certain degree, many free websites supported by ads are in the experience business, I think.
For instance, when I look up the definition of "bilbo" at dictionary.com on my Android phone, the website presents several ads of cruise trips in front of me, alongside the word's definition. So by injecting semantically relevant ads into my browsing experience in which I look up a word, it remakes and tries to maneuver my online experience and tries to automatically generate sales leads for advertisers.
I'm completely untrained in music. But I'm curious about why a galopp (the German word for "galop") is a Polka.
I found that while googling about the Chineser Galopp by Johann Strauss I. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Strauss_I#Polkas.
