This is just a old version of "ABOUT ME". It was something about me from 2015/08 to 2020/08.
I am Jack, from Hunan province, which is located in the middle south of China. Now I am trying to live a balanced life here in Northern Mid-west, in Houghton, Michigan. How north it can be? It is so north of US that I can watch Aurora sometimes. My hometown is a small city on China's city scale. It is larger than the town of Houghton, where I am studying. The climates between the two cities is dramatically different. My hometown has only a 3-month long winter with barely any snow. However, Houghton has a 6-month long winter with a possible 300 inches (7.6 m) of snow. That is as high as two and half floors! You can image that the lifestyles are much different for the residents.
Fortunately, I am always thinking: When in Rome, TRY to do as the Romans do. It is you but not the other who defines how to spend your own time. I found that I can actually enjoy the outdoor activities and fantastic landscapes.
During the short summer time, I can go hiking, mountain biking, and take photos. I may see the magic north light, if luck enough.
In the beautiful fall, the fall of U.P. is very famous. Many people will drive as far as 400 miles, just want to see the golden leaves. It is also a good season to take beautiful landscape photos.
What about the long and harsh winter? You may get mad if you just stay indoors. Because it is extremely boring! Another bad news for indoor guys is that most of winter days are cloudy day, which will make you blue. But there are some bright spots. There are so much snow that, it is a kind of paradise for winter sport beginner. I began to learn downhill skiing at my second year, and try the cross-country skiing at my fourth year. Sometimes, you may want the winter all year around.
These are parts of me. After few years, it will be interesting to see my website, which shows how I learned.
