Travel by train
Have you ever traveled by train? I'm usually not a big fan of it. I rarely take a train for my long trip, I mean long hours.... It's terrible!
For some good reasons that people like to travel by train because

Las Vegas, NV


Are you a big fan of gambling? I am absolutely not! I don't like it because I always loose my money. But if you a big fan, you should go to Las Vegas! It is the best place for gold diggers to visit. I went there last year with friends on my birthday, it was a fantastic trip even though I didn't go there for money. I played slot machine couple times, I won $40! wooooowwww.... but I lost $100 ( not too bad right?)

How to clean a Nikon D40x

Once you have your own camera, you will never want it to get old or dirty. Here is a nice article that I have found on ehow.com. It is very helpful to know how to clean a Nikon D40x, so your camera will not break easily.
Do you have some ideas or suggestions to clean the camera? Please feel free to give some advice on my blog.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
• Nikon D40x
• Clean, dust-free work space
• Hand air blower
• Camera sensor swabs
• Methanol
- Clean your work area so it is dust-free.
- Remove the lens from camera by holding the base of the lens in one hand and the camera in the other. Turn the lens to the left and it should twist off the end of the camera.
- Lock up the mirror by pushing the menu button, then select the "Setup" menu. Select the mirror lock-up button, and switch it to "On."
- Open the shutter by turning the dial on top of the camera to Manual, "M" mode. Rotate the command wheel by your right thumb past the 30 second speed, until the screen reads "B" or Bulb.
- Hold open the shutter to access the sensor.
Cleaning the Sensor
- Use the air blower to remove large debris from the camera sensor, without lowering the blower past the lens mount.
- Use the air blower to blow off your sensor brush.
- Swipe the sensor brush over the sensor from left to right just once and blow off the debris. Repeat this process if necessary. Blast the sensor and brush with air between each pass.
- Remove the sensor swab from the packaging, and blow the end with the blower to ensure that its clean.
- Put a couple of drops of cleaning solution on the swab so it is barley moist, not dripping wet. Tilt the swab in the direction you want to sweep the sensor, then pull the swab across the face of the sensor.
- Close the shutter by putting your camera back in auto mode, and lower the mirror by going back into the setup menu and turning the mirror lock-up button to "Off."
- Put the lens or cap back on your camera.
- Read through and understand how to clean your camera before beginning this project, as wasting time figuring it out while you have the sensor exposed allows more dust and debris to enter your camera. Make sure your camera has a fully charged battery or the mirror lock won't work. It is better to use an AC adapter because if the battery fails the mirror will come down and shutter will automatically close, damaging your tools and camera. For small cleaning jobs, it may be enough just to use the air blower and sensor brush.
- Cleaning a camera sensor is risky. If the sensor gets scratched or damaged the cost of repairs would be equivalent to a new camera. If you are not a camera expert, strongly consider taking your camera to a professional. Don't use compressed air cans as they are high-pressure and release moisture, which can damage the sensor. Use an air blower with a foot pump that allows you to control the air pressure. Never touch the end of the sensor swab, as oils from your hand can cause damage. Also, if the swab is too wet, moisture will seep into your camera.
Spring break in LA
Having a good time with good friends is the most important for my trips. Like my spring break trip in this year, 2010. I went down from SF to LA by driving on highway1. It was such a great experience that I ever had since I have moved to SF. We traveled super early, it was about 5 am. The weather was so nice plus 2 GPS navigators (because we didn’t want to get lost and waste our time) made my trip was perfect. If you don’t rush, I suggest you to take Hignway1 for your trip. It takes time longer than others highways, but you have to do it once. So you will never forget this great experience.
We drove slowly, whenever or wherever we wanted to stop, we just stopped. We enjoyed taking photos, eating, shopping, and drinking so much! Well, most of this trip is about eating.

Boston, MA

Every year since 2006, I have visited Boston, MA with friends. Boston is not that far from New York, where I have lived. Sometimes we drove there, sometimes we took a chinese bus because it is very convenience and inexpensive. At this time, my 4th time in Boston, I and my friends took a chinese bus from China town, NY to South station, near by China town, MA. The ticket was only $15... AhaA!!!! good deal. It took about 3 hours to get there.

Greenwich, NYC

Most of New Yorkers love summer! it's true because we have almost 4 months in winter and only a few months in summer. Summer is so short in the east coast, thus enjoy your summer by spending time outdoor! I missed last summer in lower west side, NYC so much. I took A,C,Etrain to 14 street and walked a lil bit down to the south till I hit the Greenwich Village.I always went out with my good friends whenever we had time.

Greensboro, NC

Many times I have flied from the east coast to the west coast in USA, I always stop to change my flights at North Carolina airport. I didn’t realize that I had an old friend who was studying at North Carolina university in Greensboro. After I went to Kentucky for July4th 2007, she called me, and I pointed out that Greensboro is my next destination to visit!
It was not a good time to visit my friend when she had final exam. I had been waiting for her to pick me up at the airport for a long time, yet most of my trip was pretty lonely because she was so busy doing her final project. i started my trip by having some breakfast at Cheesecake by Alex. It was a wonderful meal even though I had a couple things for my meal. I had been walking around University of North carolina, Greensboro for a few hours, then I was walking to Historical museum which is not too far from the university. I didn't pay any money for entering the museum. This museum is small, quiet, and old. I had been exploring this place for a little while, and then I walked to local restaurant around downtown to get my lunch ( I don't remember the name of it, but it was japanese restaurant that was so nice and inexpensive).
I walked pass Wrangler building, it is the jeans company that influence many people to wear them. I ended up at the central library, relaxing and waiting for my friend to pick me up.
At night, we went to Thai restaurant that my friends had worked during her summer break. It wasn't far from her apartment, we walked there only 10 minutes. Before going to sleep, we had a small party with her roommates, they brought some beers and alcohols for us.
I wish I could go back there again, I remembered how nice of the people when I got lost. They tried to help me find the direction:)
