Queen Elizabeth Park

I went to Queen Elizabeth Park for a long walk with Yukari the other day. The Cherry blossoms are really breath taking. I love the smell of the flowers, the smell of the fresh cut grasses, the smell of spring.

  • Hello Christine,you finally re-activate yourself on the Internet! Hehe, actually I know you from your impressive homepage about Xiaolan, my , oh no, our hometown. Since I first saw it about 2 years ago, I know you loved Xiaolan, as much as I do (at least), and I've been looking for chance to contact you and make friends with you. Now I see you your brand new blog, so I can't miss this chance. :) Nice to meet you.

  • Thanks Jin-jun for your comments. The Satellite picture of Xiaolan is amazing. You must work on it for a long time. I wonder why the new Xiaolan Governement building area is not clear. Thanks again for sharing with me. Keep in touch!

  • Oh, it is simply because Google Earth doesn't have high resolution satellite pictures of east Xiaolan. I am not the only one who have contributed to this Xiaolan map. Actually, everybody (thus, u as well) is invited to add more places to, and edit existing places on it.

  • Hi Christine, you seem to be away from hometown for quite a while. Your memory of Xiaolan must have been frozen to some ten years ago. Since Xiaolan is changing fast, I would like to listen to your stories back then about Xiaolan.

  • I actually just visited there 2 years ago to keep myself updated. :P

    I will go back to visit some time this year too.

    How about you? How long have you been away?

  • hehe,my base is in Xiaolan. That means I need to recharge myself once every year there. Recently, it is during Chinese new year I am at my base. It's great if we can meet in Xiaolan someday in the future. :)

  • You're lucky! :-)
    I only go back to visit once a couple years the most. I probably will be there this summer for a month or so. I don't really enjoy staying in the airplane for such a long time. :-(
