Katherine, Thanx for this lovely and delightful video. As you probably know, the beautiful bamboo growing in your front yard will grow fast, like weed, esp the running type. It is heavenly to eat your breakfast (any meal) "al fresco". LOVE your reaction with the sheep, when that guy asked about a boyfriend You chose to have your peaceful and enriched life - well done !

Hi Katherine! I have been watching your videos since 3 years ago when I was living in the US. I stayed in the US for almost 6 years and just came back to Hangzhou this year. Now I am a professor in Zhejiang University. I really love the videos you made and your personalities. You are like an never-met old friend to me. I really appreciate the 10 or 20 minutes’ joyful time you gave me every one or two weeks(sometimes longer lol). I hope to invite you to visit Zhejiang University whenever you are available or around Hangzhou!

In China, schools teach British English. From what I have heard, it is because the first generation officials who was in charge of the educational stuff were mostly got educated in Europe. I had cultural shock when I first came to USA as the accent is so different than what's taught in school.

[@DW-op7ly]

@@maple2000new In Cracker Culture: Celtic Ways in the Old South, McWhiney postulates that southern culture is in fact a derivative of the culture of the pre-Anglicized, Celtic-dominated regions of the British Isles, which he calls the “Celtic fringe.” People from this region brought this culture to the southern United States primarily in the 17th and 18th centuries, with trappings of their clannish, pastoral lifestyle fitting easily into the sparsely peopled southern backwoods (as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon dominated urban North). McWhiney supports his theory by comparing surnames from various Celt-dominated regions of the British Isles to those mentioned in immigration documents, legal settlements and US census data taken from the antebellum south; and by comparing cultural ‘traits.’ The traits McWhiney uses are broad, inexact terms about Celts and southerners which have been rendered by hostile third parties: they are described as pleasure seeking, distrustful of education and institutions, proud to the point of being violent, sensual, and lazy. Sowell builds upon McWhiney’s theory about the Celtic origin of southern culture and takes it a step further. He hypothesizes that the southern “crackers,” or as Sowell refers to them, “rednecks” (a term which McWhiney never uses), are the source of urban black culture. He then deems this culture as" chaotic, counterproductive, dangerous and self-destructive" pointing particularly to the"gangsta rap" subculture. In the turn of 20th century, southern blacks, the vast majority of whom were freed slaves or their descendants, moved to the northern urban centers. These “black rednecks” brought their counterproductive culture with them which, Sowell believes, may have suited the Celts back in Scotland and Ireland, but only proved to hold blacks back. Upon the mass migration of southern black to northern cities, relations between blacks and whites deteriorated. When the black rednecks moved north, whites there became hostile to all blacks. Sowell cites cases of residential segregation and an increase in white racism coinciding with an influx of southern blacks into northern cities; and laws that were enacted in northern cities, such as Portland, that were not there before southern blacks moved up. This, Sowell claims, is evidence that white racism was not based on skin color but rather on cultural differences and that many of the woes that African-Americans currently suffer come not from racism or slavery, but from a deluded sense of what is"authentic" black culture. Since the 60’s and the Civil Rights Movement, states Sowell, various “white liberals” have valued black redneck culture as the only authentic black culture. This in turn has left successful blacks stigmatized as unauthentic. Sowell believes that in order for blacks to progress in American society they need to shed the illusion that the ghetto culture of “black rednecks” is authentic when in fact, to him, it has its origins in white culture.

I enrolled in intensive Japanese for 1 year, which eventually led to my studying Japanese for my lifetime, working in Japan for the government of Canada for 5 years. My career involved trade with Japan until I retired in 2010. Japan is now my wife’s and my second home, and my half-Japanese kids just love it, too, with my eldest son living in Japan now with his Japanese wife.

[@arthaswade7741]

For a long period in China's history, people struggled with food scarcity, and many went hungry. During those times, people worried daily about having enough to eat, and being able to have regular, filling meals was both a life goal and a common concern shared among everyone. As a result, when people met, they would naturally ask, "Have you eaten?" Over time, this phrase evolved into a standard greeting that continues to be used today. Similar to how Americans say "hello," when Chinese people ask "Have you eaten?" they aren't necessarily expecting a detailed answer about your meals.

A cooking tip: no need to peel carrot and potato, just use a strong plastic brush to brush off the dirt off them while under running tap water. Cut off any sprouted areas on the potato because those areas contain toxin. Carrot and potato are clean after the brushing under running water. If you want to remove the outer surface on the carrot or potato you can use a regular dinner steak knife with saw teeth to scrap off it, this is easier and safer than using a peeler. Steak knife with saw teeth are great for slicing tomato because the blade doesn't easily slip off the surface on the tomato. Also great for cutting apple, onion, etc. You can find the steak knife with saw teeth can cut most food include small size meat better than other kinds of knives. When traveling all you need is a steak knife with saw teeth, the regular kind with wooden handle commonly seen in restaurants.
