This summer in Beijing 2011

First of all, I just want to express my excitement for my birthday. I found this picture online, and thought this is the kind of birthday dinner I want to have. I love everything in this picture, the lights, the tree, and most importantly, the dinning table! 

This summer I traveled to New York city and Beijing.In Beijing, I had a brief birthday celebration with my best friends. Even though it was almost two months before my actual birthday, I've decided to have one, since I haven't celebrated my birthday in China for five years. My friends and I  first played cards and then took a trip to our elementary school. Later at night, we ate at a famous restaurant in Beijing, and celebrated my birthday. 
I treasure every second that I spend with my childhood friends. It was so hard to say goodbye at the end of night. 

On the last Saturday that I was in China, S decided we should go and visit our middle school home team teacher. We were all very excited for the idea and  

I miss all of them very much, and I can't wait to see them again.

One of my best girl friend is in a long term steady relationship and she's thinking about getting married.  .
