My Campus Life
FSU Florida State University
For a 23 years old young man straight from Taiwan to the campus of FSU is like everything I have ever watched on TV or movie comes true. The Spanish moss intermingled with tall pine trees on the neatly mowed grass with squirrels chasing each other is something I have never seen it before. An academic oasis in the middle of deep south redneck country. I found it out several years later.
UCSB University of California Santa Barbara
It was a huge difference to compare the two campus of FSU and UCSB. UC Santa Barbara provides stunning view of the blue ocean with much more liberal atmosphere among students and faculty members. Campbell Hall, North Hall and UCen (university center) are the frequent stops of my classes for refreshment activities.
ULV University of La Verne
Nestled at the foothill of Mount Baldy and Angeles National Forest, the main campus is small but tidy and it reminds me FSU. Except the Spanish moss replaced by towering and willowy palm trees. However, my time at ULV was at their Oxnard satellite campus so I don't have to drive 100 miles one way to reach classroom.
Books, Books and more Books. Make America Read Again.
Naturally the libraries and bookstores are my frequent stomping grounds as I search for reading materials relates to political and military histories, international relations, U.S. foreign policy and national security issues. Mostly non-fiction books written by academia scholars, journalists or people who were in government services.
My Book
Why can't I write a book too? The reason to write this book is not for monetary profits but rather an educational tool. This is the book of my parents' life story. Or a history of emigration to this country from other side of the world. Not only the book provides a historical events of my family but also gives the younger generations a glimpse of what the life was when my parents reach the shore of this land.
Anyone interested to obtain a copy of printed edition please reach me at the contact page. Not a long book but rather a short pocket sized paperback version. The price is USD $17 flat fee with free shipping via USPS delivery.
TRAINS & SOLDIERS
I love trains either running through my living room or on tracks near and far. These are my routes chugging around in three continents.
Real Soldiers in Miniature Size
Guarding My Castle
Another Day in the Office with Staff Meeting
From March 1976 until December 1982, I wore US Army uniform and bear arms ".....to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic....." It was an interesting and unique experience in my life.
Global Footprints
All images on this site were my own productions by placing boots firmly on the ground point the lens then press the shutter. The distance of these photos covered three continents from China to 10 states in US and five EURO countries from western to eastern Europe. This is a large and wonderful world to explore and capture the snapshots. If only we can make virus go away.
Family
They are always in my heart.
