Clean air conditioner

I cleaned my air conditioner a few minutes ago.

In the past, I used to place an order online for a professional to clean my air conditioner every six months. It was a little bothersome because I had to spend half a day waiting and helping them proceed.

Last year, one of my friends told me there was a handy new product that could do this job very quickly. It’s a spray developed by a big local brand. I just need to open my air conditioner baffle, remove the filters, and spray the inside of the air conditioner. Then I rinse the filters with water and put them back into the air conditioner after 15 minutes. 继续阅读“English entries in early July”

I recently saw some videos about foreigners visiting Shanghai, and most had the same itinerary.

Perhaps they were following the same travel advice, or maybe they just happened to have the same friend.

Well, if you come to Shanghai, as your friend online, I’d like to share some places I’ve taken my friends to visit.

The first one is the Shanghai Museum. 继续阅读“If you come visit Shanghai”

A small crab

As usual, I went jogging along the river near my apartment this evening around dusk.

Many people were fishing by the river. I like stopping to see their catches.

One of them, an old man, had just caught a crab. He needed to lift the string, remove the string from the crab’s leg, and hold the crab at the same time. But as you know, he only had two hands, so it was a little bit of a struggle for him to do it. 继续阅读“English Entries in Late June”

Sleepy

I am sleepy right now.

Maybe it’s because of the weather; it’s been hot and humid recently.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night. My apartment is near a small road, and someone along the road had a loud phone call last night and woke me up.

Maybe both. 继续阅读“English Entries in mid-June”

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming up.

Next Monday is the Dragon Boat Festival, so we’ll have a three-day vacation starting tomorrow.

The traditional food eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi, normally made of sticky rice.

I learned how to make zongzi from my great-grandma when I was a kid, so I can make them myself.

Every time I make zongzi I remember my great-grandma and the generous love she had for me.

For most Chinese people, the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival is to remember the famous ancient person Qu Yuan. For me, it’s also a time to remember my great-grandma. 继续阅读“English entries in early June”
