 I know you guys will get a little confused about this title, and think 'Why you use this title? They are ambivalent'. But I will tell you that actually they're not ambivalent. Because I will say each of them to different person.
First, I want to say 'Happy birthday' to William, my friend. Today is William's birthday. And his birthday party have held tonight. At first, I said I will go to that. But in the afternoon, I got a fever. And my mom didn't let me go out for attending William's birthday party. TAT I want to say sorry to William, because I promise to attend his birthday party, and even have bought the birthday present for him. But finally I haven't went to that. Sorry~
Second, I want to say 'Goodbye' to Aden. Because he will go to America tomorrow, and will not come back until this Christmas. TAT We have studying in SUIS together for 1 year. And I felt a little grieved about this. I hope he will have good time there and have many new friends. : ) And also, don't forget us, the classmates in US High School!!
 Today is August 13th now, and we will go to school in August 28th, and it only left 15 days from today, almost two weeks. And this year's new semester begins earlier than usual. And I just got this information from Tina yesterday. So I need to do more preparation for the new semester now, and pay close attention to my summer holiday homework. TAT Yesterday we celebrated Tina's birthday together. But yesterday was not Tina's real birthday, her birthday is August 21st. But she will go to Guiling at that time, so we can't celebrate at that time. And another friend of mine--William Wang' birthday is in August 15th, the day after tomorrow. I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both of them!!! They are all my good friends. : ) I found a VERY SERIOUS problem these days!!! OMG!!! And that problem is that after I came back to Shanghai, I found out that my skin became darker!!! Because the sunlight and ultraviolet in Inner Mongolia is stronger than in Shanghai, and my skin became darker. T T I hope that my skin will returns to normal quick
 You guys must all know that my favorite idol is Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul from 2PM. And at the beginning of this summer, I got an exciting news! Nichkhun will act in a Chinese TV series!!!
This is the first time for Nichkhun to act in a TV series, and especially a Chinese one. Because he is a American Thai, and studied in U.S before.
In this TV series, he will act as a American Chinese. And I thought this character is very fit for him. Because although he is a American Thai, his mom is a Thai Chinese, and his dad is half Chinese and half Thai. But because his mom went to Thai in her childhood, she doesn't know much about China, so do Nichkhun. But he is still 3/4 Chinese! And he studied in America before he became a idol in Korea, so his English is good too. So from all these reasons, I thought this character is very fit him, I thought the director also think so, so he let Nichkhun to be this character.
And we can see this TV series next summer, I'm looking forward to that!!!
 Today we'll go back to Shanghai. I'm a little sad now. T T I don't want to go back to Shanghai! Shanghai is now about 40℃!!!!! But here is just about 20℃. Today we drove from Tianjing back to Shanghai. And the most interesting thing is that we drove at the same place for about 3 hours!!!... The reason why we did that is all because of the GPS!!! OMG!!! At first, we drove along the path which the GPS let us go, but finally we found out this expressway is been reparatived, and we can't go through this way. But our GPS haven't be updated, so it doesn't know the way we need to go. But finally we found the right way by ourselves. Finally we got home in 4:00, August 6th. I was sosososo tired! T T And tomorrow I have to do my summer holiday assignment! TAT I left many Math problems before I went to Inner Mongolia, so I have to do a lot of problems from tommorrow.
 Today we got a city in Inner Mongolia--Shiwei. This is a small town which beside Russia. And you can see from the picture on the left, the mountains behind us is Russia. And we even can see the villages in the side over the river in Russia.
Because there are no good hotels, so we lived in a local villager's home. And this family is very kind, unsophisticated and friendly. In the second day, we asked them to give us some horses to ride. And he gave us 7 horses. You can see from the picture on the left side, we are riding horses. And I was the second from the left side. This is my real first time to ride a horse on the grasslands. I were very exciting and happy. And I even let the horse run!!! I thought it's the best part of this journey.
 And the most famous food there is the mutton!!! You can see the picture at the left side. Actually I don't like mutton very much. Because the mutton in Shanghai always has a special smell, and I don't like that smell. But the mutton here doesn't have that special smell. It is very tender and full of the juice. I like the mutton here very much!!!
And another specialty here is the blueberry. The blueberry here is agrestal and fresh. We tasted many blueberries, and I thought they're very sweet and fresh. So I bought many dried blueberries back.
 Yesterday we drove from Harbin to Wudalianchi. And during yesterday's morning, we had a tour in Harbin.
In the last journal I mentioned that this is the first time I go to Harbin in summer. And I have to say that the view in summer is really different from winter's. When I went to Harbin in winter, all the view I saw is snow,snow, and snow, white, white, and white. But in summer, we can see many colors of Harbin. We have gone to the St. Sophia Cathedral. The church which is the largest orthodox church in East Asia. And it's the representative of Byzantine architecture. There are many pigeons in the square of the church.
And we lived in the Modern Hotel Harbin, in Chinese, it is called Madier. And it's the most famous hotel in Harbin. It was been created in 1906. It's just on the Central Avenue, and it's very close to the Songhua River.
I thought Harbin is a city which mix ancient Russian culture and modern Chinese culture together. And you can see many ancient Russian structures and many Russian in this city. You also can buy many things which come from Russia. It's a good example of 'East meets West'.
 Two days ago, we left from Shanghai, and got on the trip to Inner Mongolia. And during the last two days, we were in Shandong province. And we lived at Weihai in the first day, and lived on the ferry from Yantai to Dalian. And today we arrived in Dalian, Liaoning province now.
During these two days, we traveled in Shandong province. And because Shandong is near the sea, we droved around the seaside to see the view of sea. And had many seafood. And the most exciting thing for me is that because Shandong province is very close to South Korea, there are many South Korean stuff in Shandong, and we can buy them from any market. And I like the stuff in South Korea very much. That's really make me excited and happy!!! : )
And today we will drive to Harbin, Heilongjiang province. And we will drive across the 'North-east three provinces' of China. I have already been to Harbin two years ago during the winter. But this is my first time to go to Harbin in summer. I wonder to see the view in Harbin in summer. It must be a different view from the view in winter.
 Because we will go to Inner Mongolia in 4 days, we are preparing for that. And I searched on the internet, ad got much information about Inner Mongolia.
In the past, the impression of Inner Mongolia in my head was lots of grasslands, blue and clear sky, fresh air with countless cows,sheep and horses. After searching on the internet, I knew that there are lots of interesting things about Inner Mongolia beside these things.
First, I know that Inner Mongolia is beside Mongolia and Russia, so there are many Russia stuff been sale in many place in Inner Mongolia. And the most famous souvenir there are the dairy products, like milk tablet, cheese, and milk. So I decided to buy some of these back to Shanghai.
Second, the weather there is very comfortable, Shanghai is now about 35℃, but the weather in Inner Mongolia is just about 25℃. So I thought this summer we decided to go to Inner Mongolia is a wise chose. : )
I still just got these information of Inner Mongolia so far. But I believed that when I came back to Shanghai, I will know more other things about Inner Mongolia than now.
 These days I'm very boring, because outside is too hot, and my mom don't want to go out. So I just can stay at home with the air-conditioner, and do the holiday assignment. At the beginning of this summer holiday, I went to the book store once. And I bought many books. But now I have no interests on them. I want to do something which I never tried. And today my mood is not good. So I don't want to do anything.
And many of my classmates are not in Shanghai now, so I can't call them to hang out together. And I think if I keep staying at home, without any exercise, I will become fatter. I don't want that, so I must go out in the next few days!!!
After ten days, I will go to Inner Mongolia. That is a beautiful place in China. It has lots of prairies, and there are many horses, sheep, and cows there. And the temperature there is lower than Shanghai, I'm very pleased with that. And after going to Inner Mongolia, I will go to Shandong, my grandpa's hometown to see my grandpa's brother. I think it must be a fun trip! : )
 Today isn't the first day of our summer vocation, but it's the first day which we need to do our holiday assignment. TAT
And these days in Shanghai was very hot!!! The sunshine was very strong. And the highest temperature even achieve 38℃!!! So I didn't go to anywhere, just stay at home. During last week, I did many meals for my mom and myself. I did spaghetti with tomato pork sauce, kimchi fried rice, Korean buckwheat cold noodles and so on. And I washed dishes and bowls after finishing the meals. I'm 15 years old now, and I thought I can't always let my mom cook meals for me, or let her do the housework. I should help her.
For my summer plan, I decided to read 6 different kinds of books during the summer vocation. One of them is the book which we need to read for doing the reading response, and another one is for the Chinese lesson. Other two are for SAT, and the last two are for my interests. And I will go to Inner Mongolia and Shandong province for travelling. I hope I will have a nice summer!!! : ) Hope everyone can have a nice summer holiday~!!!
