我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The synchronous fireflies' mating ritual in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The amazing little creatures flash in unison, almost like Christmas lights, to attract the opposite sex. It's a very magical experience, and I believe it only happens in a few specific places on Earth.

教，学，和分享

I do that Southern hospitality thing pretty darn good. Making breakfast is my favorite. I can edit your writing, resume, project, paper and rattle off a few things en francais.
