Eat Drink Man Woman

Tonight I had the pleasure of watching Ang Lee's thoughtful film, "Eat Drink Man Woman," and I am definitely impressed. If you haven't seen this film, and you appreciate films that explore human relationships, asks the question "What makes people happy?" or just want to practice your Chinese, then I suggest you watch this film or at least put it on your to-do list. The characters in this film are carefully and realistically drawn and developed. The film's portrayal of food is simply mouthwatering, and the characters' progression throughout the course of the film is heartrending, heartfelt, and heartwarming.


Thank you Ang Lee, for a thoughtful film on human relationships. This is definitely one of those quality films that you'll be thinking about once it's all over. I wish I could find some Ang Lee interviews about this film online. Perhaps if you find any, you could let me know.

First Lecture in High School

Today I gave my first lecture on "The French and Indian War," a really interesting topic outlined by my mentor teacher. The students were really attentive, and treated me really well! I got applause at the end!
