      We used to plan to go to medical center this afternoon, but its cancelled for some reasons, so its a free afternoon, a good chance to go shopping. We went to Short Pump, its my third time to be here, but today the aim is cosmetics, you know, some cosmetic brands are much much more cheaper here than in SH...for example, CLINIQUE, a lotion here costs 23 dollars, which costs 400RMB in SH....before i came to USA, some friends made a list for me, so its a big responsibility to buy goods for them, anyway ,i bought some cosmetics as well...
SS went to Stony Point today, she bought a very very nice evening dress, so pretty..
Tomorrow we have a plan to go to the GYM.

      A well-know artistic professor of VCU came to our lecture and showed us a process of an artistic creation. He drow a portrait of his brother-in-law with oil painting, i hv studied drawing and my majoy is artistic design, so i totally understood what he was talking about. But i know some students here didnt know his meaning, anyway, its normal, artists cant be understood sometimes. Some guys asked me what he was talking abt, i tried my best to explain, all tought i havnt drawn pictures for long time. At the last i got a signature of him its special for me and i am really keen on his style of painting...
At the evening ,we took a class of Jazz, i like Jazz, but dont know abt it, so some imformation of the class is useful and meaningful, when i got back, i found my handbag left in the theatre, thanks to Jenny, she found it and returned back to me..really thankyou...i was sooo worried becoz ss and my credit cards and ID cards and cameras are all in it....

      After a quite long trip, we arrived Charlottersville. We hv been to the house of Thomas Jefferson, its really a fancy garden, which has a quite long history, but compare with some historic places of CHINA, its not the longest. I was impressed by the wisdom of Thomas, he is not only a politician but also a fan of science, even to be an artist. All though im not familiar with the history of USA, its a good chance for me to get close to it. We had lunch at a 5 GUYS, but when we met others at the last ,we knew that they found a very very nice chinese restaurant, the owner is a typical bejingness, the taste is local and delicious, what a pity....

When we got there it was already 12:00, so we had a picnic belong the lake. Its not a big lake but its around by montain, some guys were playing cards so zhumao and me began to take a short hike around lake, i havn't swam in the lake, becoz it looked quite dirty and dangerous. THen, we 10 guys climbed the montain and had a long hike to the top of the montain, its a really nice overlook view, lake, montain,beach and wild animal. GREAT!

I took a seat and enjoyed the splendid view. We took a lot of pics until a police came to us and told us not to take the pics of builings, maybe becoz the reason of 911, but do i look like a terrorist, joke.Anyway, we found a nice place to relax.

      Richmond in night looks like a different city. full of cars but no person on the street. Its strange to me becoz its totally different from Shanghai. Shanghai is a sleepless city, the activities of night are varous, compare with Shanghai, Richmond is a quiet city, I heard that the population of Richmond is 80 thousand, its not a small figure, so i wondering, where do the risidents go at night in Richmond??  Stay at home, watching TV?

His daughter is soo cute, we seen her pic from his computer, i like this person, a father with full love of his child and also a good scholar. Just now we went to a historic plaza where used to live a poet, when we got there, a special music party was being hold, some families with little babies were spent thier leisure time there. i still met some person dressed in a weird style, i dont know why but quite interesting. 

PS:Share some pics with you guys.

      <![CDATA[we'v been back from VB yesterday, but still feel soo tired, may be becoz i played too crazy. Its really really a nice place to spend holidays with family or friends. By the way ,its my first time to have so nice holidays in beach.The beach was crowded with sunbathers but The sea water was quite cooler than expect so i couldnt swim in the sea, anyway it gave me chance to have sunbath on the beach. The consequence of happy beach time is the healthy skin color, i become tan. I found most visters came with their families, look so sweet, made me feel a little homesick, missing my parents and my dogs ^___^

Its quite special to see it in USA, especially in IMAX. The movie is really good, despite the seat isn't comfrotable enough. The actor of Harry is Daniel Radcliffe,a handsome England boy, but he looks a little bit older than what he is in the movie. Anyway, i enjoy the movie time. 
i feel tired and want to have a rest,so stop here today ^_^
PS: upload some pics taken in IMAX

      <![CDATA[Today's tour to Cabell Library impressed me a lot, what a convenient and humanistic library it is.From my perspecitve, the most special part of the library is the reading room for blind on the second floor, which is rare in China. The classification of books is particular, but thanks to the humanistic seeking system, to find a book is not a tough job, sometimes it even takes few seconds. Moreover, another interesting difference from the libraries in Shanghai is that the food and beverage are allowed to bring into the Cabell labrary. This regulation makes students feel more relax and free, which might help to improve the studying environment. Whatever, it really a good place. 
PS: upload some pics

      <![CDATA[We have been in Richmond for several days, and im getting to be used to the life in this new city. These couple days in USA let me remember an American movie, which named "Elizabeth Town", acted by Orlando Bloom and Cameron Crowe. It's a romantic love story and illustrates the beautiful American scene. I really like this movie and now i found myself be in the scene which dipicted in the movie. whatever,I enjoy the quiet atmosphere in the campus.
Everything here is fresh to me, the surroundings, the residents and especially the life style. I do feel some discrepency between the two countries. Compare with Shanghai, it really a quiet city and everything here looks so methodical, you may not see traffic jams and huge crowds of people. At the first days, i felt difficult to get used to the new environment, but now, everything is much better.
Im trying to adjust the new life style and experiencing a special change.
