• Campus Life:

  Rice University has many strange traditions,

  For example, Beer Bike is a bicycle relay race where you drink beer.

  Another tradition occurs on the 13th of every month,

  A group of students from Baker College run around campus at night wearing only shaving cream.

  Students from other colleges try to spray them with water.

  I did not participate in these two activities,

  But I was a DJ on the Rice Student Radio station for a short time.

  This radio station plays strange and interesting music.

• 校園生活：

  萊斯大學有許多奇怪的傳統，

  例如Beer Bike，這是一個騎自行車加上喝啤酒的接力賽。

  另一個傳統發生在每個月的十三日，

  一群貝克學院的學生晚上會只穿著刮鬍膏繞校園，

  其他學院的學生會朝他們噴水攻擊。

  我沒有參與過這兩個活動，

  不過我曾經在萊斯學生廣播電台當過短期的DJ，

  這個電台總是會播放奇怪的音樂，很有趣。

• Daikon:

  We like to make soy sauce stewed daikon with tofu, carrots. 

  The liquid is soy sauce, five spice, star anise, sugar, rice wine.

• 白蘿蔔：

  我們喜歡煮滷豆腐，

  有時候我們會加入白蘿蔔跟紅蘿蔔一起滷，

  滷汁裏面有醬油、五香、八角、糖、還有米酒。

• 1993 年我畢業Baylor大學。在我學習期間，我們沒有互聯網。我覺得我太老了。我記得最清楚的事件是涉及 “Branch Davidians”的邪教的事件。邪教的領導人是 David Koresh。在聯邦特工突襲之後，包括兒童在內的許多人死於火災或槍擊。1993 Nián wǒ bìyè Baylor dàxué. Zài wǒ xuéxí qíjiān, wǒmen méiyǒu hùliánwǎng. Wǒ juédé wǒ tài lǎole. Wǒ jìdé zuì qīngchǔ de shìjiàn shì shèjí “Branch Davidians” de xiéjiào de shìjiàn. Xiéjiào de lǐngdǎo rén shì David Koresh. Zài liánbāng tègōng túxí zhīhòu, bāokuò értóng zài nèi de xǔduō rén sǐ yú huǒzāi huò qiāngjī. 

  I graduated from Baylor University in 1993. During my college life, we did not have the Internet. I think I am too old. The event I remember most clearly was an event involving the "Branch Davidians" cult. The leader of the cult is David Koresh. After the raid by federal agents, many people, including children, died in fires or shootings.

  Baylor大學位於德克薩斯州Waco市。當我上學時，韋科非常農村。現在，很多人都知道Waco，因為有一個著名的基於韋科的房子改造電視節目。畢業後就沒去過了。我想回去參觀。Baylor dàxué wèiyú dé kè sà sī zhōu Waco shì. Dāng wǒ shàngxué shí, wéi kē fēicháng nóngcūn.

• Baylor University is located in Waco, Texas. Waco was very rural when I was in school. Now, many people know Waco because there is a famous Waco-based house renovation TV show. I haven't been in the campus after graduation. I want to go back and visit.

• • How to make a good dish with this "white radish?"
  • 這道“白蘿蔔”怎麼做一道好菜？ 
  • Zhè dào “bái luóbo” zěnme zuò yīdào hào cài?
  我自己從來沒有把白蘿蔔做過好菜。 
  不過，我很熟悉z做韓式泡白蘿蔔的方式。
  說一步步的話，第一步是先要把白蘿蔔切成1英寸的小片。
  第二步：把鹽，糖放在一起。一起混合(hun4he2）所有的成分。
  第三步：讓成分腌製(yan1zhi4 - marinate)半個小時。
  第四步：加大蒜(suan4 - garlic)，洋葱，薑末(jiang1mo4 - ginger),魚露（yv3lu4 - fish sauce),跟辣椒片。
  最後一步：把所有的成分放在碗裏，然後把完成的泡菜放在冰箱裏。

• Why was Elvis Presley called "Cat King?"  

  為什麼貓王被稱為“貓王”？

  Wèishéme māo wáng bèi chēng wèi “māo wáng”?

  
  

  貓王被稱爲“貓王”因爲在美國南方的貓王粉絲叫他"Hillbilly Cat." 因此，華人把"cat"這個字成他的昵稱（ni4cheng1- nickname),‘貓王。”

  另外一個原因是因爲貓王唱情歌的時候就會讓好多的女生來追他，像一直男生貓似的。

  古林大學是愛荷華州的最小的大學之一。

  不過，它很受美國中西部的歡迎.

  由於古林市的少人口，古林大學以師生比而聞名(wen2ming2 - to be known for). 

  其次，古藺大學也讓多學生選擇設計自己的主修課程，不必須按照一般的課程。

  最後，古藺大學以自由著稱(zhu4cheng1- to be known for)、比如：蠻多學生甚至開放學校俱樂部(xue2xiao4jv4le4bu4 - school clubs)。

  我個人不計劃回去古林住因爲我比較喜歡住在北佛(bei3fo2 - Northern VA）.
