Q.2

Of all your favorite foods, which one would you find the most difficult to give up completely for the rest of your life? 

The answer is very easy. That will be the one of most famous food of my hometown: Hot pot sichuan style.

It’s a very special food which starts during the 80s. I was still a child. My mother would bring me with her to most of her parties, where the adults would eat the hot pot with beer or Chinese sake. Hot pot, as its name, is very spicy and hot. Basically, the hot pot is a pot of spicy soup which you can’t eat it because its will kill you by its hot red peppers and all those spicy flavors. Instead of eat the soup, you cook other food in it, such as vegetables, meats, seafoods and whatever you think you can eat. The soup use to be only spicy flavor, but now there is non-spicy flavor too, for those people who can’t eat too spicy.

A lot of my youth memories are related to the hot pot. My and my friend’s birthday parties, family meetings, with my parents’ friends, with my God parents, holidays, the days I went back to China, and so on. I don’t think I can ever live without the hot pot. I don’t really eat it often, but it is the must have. Luckily for me, that I know how to make it, and there are restaurants who serve it in NY. 

One of my dream of going back to home is enjoy the real hot pot with my family and friends. 

　

 

Q.1

If you could fly in a hot-air balloon over any city in the world, what city would you choose?

Well….If someone asked me this question half year go, I will yell “Osaka” out of my mouth. I had too much feelings for the Osaka city because of personal reasons. I loved a man from there. But now, after 1 year and 8 months of recovering, I would say Paris.

Yes, I would love to go Paris. 

I don’t really care about those shopping things that we girls have to do in Paris. I just want to feel the culture, the life, and the air. I just want to walk on the street of Paris and smell the coffee mixes with flower (even I heard there is a lot of dog’s ****). I just want to wear as simple as classic as I can, walk alone with red pump and lip, holding sunflower, going to the corner coffee shop to have a nice breakfast. With no worries, no guys, and no loud music.

I just want to get away from my life now. Hide in the street of Paris…

(p.s. the other cities that I’d love to go before I die: London, Roman, Kyoto, Athens, Cairo, and Fuji)
