Once upon a time in America. Just couldn’t help being a tourist near the Brooklyn bridge. Got a closer look at the Tomcat and Concorde. Actually a Uber driver lectured me on the Aeros of the supersonic jet. 😉 . . . . . #newyork #brooklynbridge #onceuponatimeinamerica #hudsonriver #skyline #f14tomcat #aircraftcarrier #concorde #instatravel #weekendvibes #hangout #紐約 #布魯克林 @british_airways @airfrance (at Times Square, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CoWiyhxYi/?igshid=pgacyo01zyr2

Philly. May the 4th be with you. The photos feature the Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, American Revolution Museum and some street shots.

Some other thoughts and shots in DC. The Iwo Jima Memorial and the nearby Arlington Cemetery have imparted on me a mixed sense of sacrifice and superb; professionalism and patriotism.The Lincoln Memorial is a great place to pay tribute to the great union conserved. Also some photos taken while dashing across the Potomac. . . . . . #washingtondc #dc #lincoln #memorial #nightandday #iwojimamemorial #arlington #cemetery #photooftheday #travelblogger #travelgram #draintheswamp #maga #potomac #duskanddawn #metropolis #華府 #海軍陸戰隊 #阿靈頓公墓 #波托馬克河 #林肯紀念堂 #美國 (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzhYaP_BFe0/?igshid=rhszc5g6iv7d

United States Capitol. A much fantasized place for a political geek like me. It was quite difficult if not outright impossible for a non-US citizen to rub shoulders with the reps or senators. Still, I spotted the Speaker’s office and chatted with a couple of staffs among others while meandering the hallways. Besides, the guides are definitely good at their jobs, providing an immersive experience to most travelers. . . . . . #uscapitol #capitolhill #washingtondc #dc #politics #heartland #legislature #congress #seat #house #senate #representative #senator #nancypelosi #photography #photooftheday #travelblogger #美國國會大廈 #國會山 #華府 #美國 (at United States Capitol) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgfOR3hwc_/?igshid=12xhxmu1eoi04

Washington Monument shot across the day. I was told by a DC local guide that this towering tribute to America’s first President took a century to plan and construct. . . . . . #washingtondc #washington #dc #washingtonmonument #nationalmall #photography #duskanddawn #nightandday #daytour #photooftheday #travel #travelblogger #scenery #history #culture #monument #華盛頓紀念碑 #華府 #美國 (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzf7UVRBluH/?igshid=sx8ln74k8vhj

Various photos taken of the Library of Congress during different time of the day. The library is the official research arm of the Congress and serves as the de facto national library of the States. Being one of the oldest federal cultural institutions, it lays claims to one of the largest libraries in the world. . . . . . . #washingtondc #dc #washington #libraryofcongress #library #congress #photooftheday #architecture #photography #art #culture #design #interiordesign #vacation #trip #photo #dayandnight #國會圖書館 #華盛頓 #美國 (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzeulWCBpL8/?igshid=poruq6ev3k66

It’s been a year since my graduation from Fudan University. The phalanx of graduation photos sprouting out annually from my social networks has kept me amazed of how alums dedicating their creativity and commitment to honoring the graduation season. For instance, I was caught in a pleasant surprise this morning of how the university logos had been collected by campus wanderers. PC goes to one of the alums graduating this year. . . . . . . #shanghai #fudan #university #campusvibes #logo #scenery #graduation #season #proud #alum #weekendvibes #photooftheday #ceremony #復旦 #大學 #上海 #中國 #畢業季 @university_fudan @shanghaicomune @shanghaiist @insshanghai (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/By3ioitB2C5/?igshid=ptevkwn084pi

Mingling with FDU 13’ and senior lab members among others. The graduate school revolving door seems to be turning faster than previous institutions lol. Wish everyone great expectations.

Oh how do I love those Texas sirloins & ribs & ribeyes and the list just goes on and on. While feasting on the Texas Roadhouse beef on Christmas Eve and hail to the lone star state with its proud flag unfurling in the howling Ithaca wind I LOVE TEXAS- my friend picked out every country singer portrait around with great ease- impressive indeed. Still I have been missing the good old days in Shanghai and wish the Santa Claus shall not lose his way while crisscrossing the oriental sky or dazzle upon overlooking the great City below. . . . . . #cornell #ithaca #newyork #christmas #party #christmaseve #dinner #winter #holiday #usa #newengland #texasroadhouse #sirloin #ribs #ribeye #photooftheday #reallymissshanghai #shanghai #康奈爾大學 #紐約 #聖誕節 @texasroadhouse @ithacaisfoodies @newyorkfoodies (at Texas Roadhouse - Ithaca) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrypYHKBdeS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hn3u69vhtogu

Ithaca braced the first batch of snow as the McGraw Tower stood against a volatile pressing sky, serving as a beacon beaconing home Cornelians New and far battered by all sorts of snow in this stormy season. Second pic features the icy crystals deposited on McGraw Tower upper chamber, reminding me of a classic argument regarding which is superior - comparing snowflakes to 柳絮 or 空中撒鹽（撒鹽空中差可擬；未若柳絮因風起） . . . #cornell #university #campus #winter #view #snow #scene #night #sky #mcgrawtower #ithaca #newyork #eastcoast #lawschool #library #ice #snow❄️ #photooftheday #weekendvibes #saturday #fun #康奈爾大學 #紐約 #美國 @cornelluniversity @cornell_law_school @cornell_library @adventure.ithaca (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBkyKQBAp_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18cqtj6h6kxun

Halloween ambience in Ithaca commons & Cornell community.

Last minute shots to capture Cornell campus autumn views. I have experienced vibrant fall foliage in this spectacular and bright season. It was also breathtaking to wander along the meandering trail stretched across the outskirts of the southern campus while stumbling upon Ithaca’s countless waterfalls, true hidden gems of the community and beyond. . . . . . #cornell #university #campus #ithaca #newyork #autumn #view #fall #sightseeing #lake #waterfall #foliage #leaves #halloween #weekend #sunday #fun #hiking #weekendvibes #photooftheday #naturephotography #康奈爾大學 #紐約 @cornelluniversity @cornellstudentlife @adventure.ithaca (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpffHI1H06P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=crevr9mwzgvf

Halloween wild wizard weekend 🧙‍♂️. Played Quidditch(魁地奇)with a bunch of Cornell graduates. The Potters (James and Harry) must have thought I boast the talent of buzzing around the ground but nevertheless could not zoom into the sky 😂. Plus, I finally found my niche as a golden Snitch (金色飛賊). Overall, it was indeed hilarious to get into a scrimmage with a broomstick under beneath. Maybe one day I could make an all-Ivy Quidditch team called Hedgehopping League lol.(超低空飛行聯盟隊）Also tried exotic potions with friends- hopefully they were made by Professor Snape. . . . . . #cornell #university #campus #halloween #ithaca #newyork #party #cosplay #costume #harrypotter #fan #magic #potion #severussnape #quidditch #game #gold #snitch #weekend #fun #weekendvibes #saturday #sports #photooftheday #康奈爾大學 #紐約 #哈利波特 #魁地奇 (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpdU7I-H12g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s8jgr7vr2g9w
