I went sledding today. :)

It's very windy though not very cold. The wind was blowing the snow everywhere.

Basically, it's going up to the hill, then slide down. I did sand-sledding in Xinjiang where I had to walk all the steps on the slippery sand. Different places, different weather, different people, similar excitement.

It's just beautiful and tranquil. I just don't understand. Why Americans make money by making "exciting" games for sensation-seeking people. Can they not just open a restaurant by the lake and let people dine? Just make a place for people to meet and talk? Why all these skiing and sledding and screaming?

I miss the lochs in Scotland. I forgot the name already. Maybe Loch Mary. Jess was there. The restaurant had steel forks and spoons made in Hong Kong. I have no idea when Hong Kong was making and exporting steel. Ann said Hong Kong made good steel. But I really doubt if any of those factory is still in Hong Kong and not in China.

People make good food in Scotland. Americans eat junk. They rush to go to places and have fun. The British sit down, eat a good meal, and talk. I got to know people. I got to know their history. Here, I went out a whole day with the group and I barely remember their names.
