A wedding is a start of togetherness... of walks in the rain, basking in the sunshine, shared meals, caring for one another and sensing the love that a marriage carries.

Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

Ten fingers, Ten toes
He's laughter and teardrops
So small and brand new
And amazingly angelic
He's sent to bless you
He's one special Baby
The best of life's treasure
And will grant and bless you
Many hours of great pleasure.

Cormorant Fishing


Cormorant Fishing, originally uploaded by haechoo.

Traditional fishing method in which fishermen use trained cormorants to fish in rivers.

To control the birds, the fishermen tie a snare near the base of the bird's throat. Though this prevents the birds from swallowing larger fish, which are held in their throat, the birds are still able to swallow smaller fish. When a cormorant has caught a fish in its throat, the fisherman brings the bird back to the boat and has the bird spit the fish back up. Though cormorant fishing used to be a successful fishing industry, its primary use today is to serve the tourism industry.

The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs - The chicken was involved, but the pig was committed.

But perhaps the chicken was not so lucky in China. Or maybe there is no such difference.

The Bai Woman


The Bai Woman, originally uploaded by haechoo.

This lady tends a stall in the Shaping Market, which opens every Monday, in a town north of the Dali Old Town. She sells noodle-like stuff (see below), but we really had no idea what it was. It was really spicy and the taste was rather interesting. The outfit she is wearing is the ethnic minority costume of the Bai (pronounced as ber) Tribe.
