One thing I remember from my childhood is, thanks to a relative of mine, I drank coffee which was made by boiling coffee beans in water, once or for few times. It tasted good.
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.

E. G.'s old father, who's over 70 years old, has got anus cancer since the end of last year. E. G.'s description made me almost cringe.
How fragile life is. And how critical health is.
The word "chuff" means "peasant", "a rude or insensitive person".
Interestingly, there are similar indications for the Chinese word equivalent of "peasant".
