這星期又是長一歲的時候
原本以為這是三十大關
還莫名的多愁善感起來
後來發現竟然是拿西元個位數減民國個位數的誤會
多賺到一年的感覺 哈
五月即將畢業
最大的決定是留不留美國?
主要的顧慮一是歸屬感的問題 二是工作性質
沒有很大的動機要拿到PR
對於台灣的就業市場與環境多少也有顧慮
見機行事
J'ai trente ans!
There are always different ways to calculate how long have you lived in this world.
Somehow, this kind of milestone could be achieved without too much efforts as long as you maintain your body components well and no tremendous luck required.
In Chinese, at this age, you should be able to "stand." Starting your own family, advancing your career, and things also start to be regarded differently eventually.
Officially, young is not a right adjective for you anymore. You would be less excited when some pretty girls looking at you than when you find you get a promotion or bonus.
Dreams are still there, but you would start to concern if knees and shoulders would break before realizing those goals.
However, after some friends' reminders, I found I haven't been that old yet. I will reserve all my sad feeling until next year.

Spring break -- Orlando Disney trip
This spring break we went to the Disney land in Orlando, FL. We bought 4 days pass and played one theme park one day. It was a really tired and fun trip. Due to the new function provided by Google blogger, now I uploaded all the photo to another site, and here I will put more word part.

Please check our trip photo here.
It's amazing to see how Disney manage its theme park business. Ticket, souvenirs, photo taken by their own photographer or in any ride, food, and drinks, almost everything is expensive. However, I still recalled from the industry analysis class (huh, I really learned something...) that one group mentioned that Disney lost money on the theme park and resort division. Disney really hires a lot of people facilitating the operation of the park, almost every where you could see employees standing or working around, even though they might be part time senior workers with minimal hourly wage, but it is still a huge overhead. Of course, don't forget the fixed cost of all the infrastructure and the seasonality factors that Disney might just make profit during vacation period.
When you finish any ride, the exit will direct you to the store selling related products. It's definitely a great Marketing practice. Somehow I wonder what the meaning behide their slogan "Dreams come true". Taking photo with all those characters is the dream coming true? It makes more sense to me that Walt Disney established his entertainment empire from a single mouse character is the example.
Anyway, it's really a fun place to go for KIDS, or kids mentally. Those rides are not severe because you could still bring all your items with you.

Dream Girls
雖然是奧斯卡入圍多項獎項的片子
但因為片名的關係始終沒很大的興趣
看過之後發現得到最佳音樂獎項實屬實至名歸
從American Idol出身的Jennifer Hudson的歌喉果然不同凡響
一段十分鐘的solo從頭到尾氣勢不墜讓人以為這部片是為他量身打造 碧昂斯真的是主角嗎?
不過他的外表也真的和片裡的遭遇一樣 不是讓人討喜的那型
也難怪在American Idol裡鎩羽而歸
片中講述70年代知名團體的成名經過
姐弟四人從小對音樂就極富造詣
因緣際會從幫小明星合音開始
適逢黑人地位開始提升的大環境幫助下
慢慢開始發跡 成為獨當一面的表演團體
但姐弟的情感開始出現裂痕
與經紀人之間的三角情感
嗓音較好的妹妹在商業考量下無法擔綱主唱
一人孤獨奮鬥了九年
其他人雖然事業步步高升
但商業考量凌駕一切的結果
音樂越來越缺乏感動人心的元素
最後姐弟大和解攜手繼續發展
實在很佩服黑人歌星的歌喉 也難怪他們平常講話都是大小聲的
真的是相當好聽與振奮人心的音樂
等下來itune上試聽一下

Food Competition
March 1st, International Affair Committee planned to hold the first Carlson MBA international Food Competition. However, we happened to face the first blizzard this 10 years, and U even closed whole school because of the severe weather condition. We cancelled this event, but some teams had already brought their food to school. Therefore, we still had a good chance to taste some of the food from different countries.
Wet and heavy snow, accumulating on the twigs.
At least 18 inches snow, and it freezed very soon which makes it hard to drive because of slippery.
Food from Columbia
Japan Chilashi
Snacks and 7 1st year TW students....
Why always the same people in line here?
Thai ice tea.

Snow on the bikes.
It was the first and the last IAC event due to a limited budget. It's amazing to see so many people like to cook and share with other people.
