Happy Chinese New Year of Rabbit

Happy Chinese New Year of Rabbit

Ever since Wall Street Journal published an excerpt from Amy Chua’s new book, with a provoking title “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior,” debates ramified from the topic have not abated. Jeff Yang on SFGate.com details the disapproval and questioning from Asian American community in Mother Superior? David Read More…

Developing Business Ideas

It is about the middle of my three-month China trip since Nov 12, 2009. This is my third time stepping on Chinese soil, and like the previous two trips, this trip is just as significant. As a climber, climbing steep limestone, surprisingly, is my secondary purpose of this trip. My primary objective is Read More…

My facebook and gmail accounts have been compromised

Dear all,

I just got down from the mountain and found out that my gmail and facebook accounts have been compromised. I was climbing Aconcagua from 12/28 to 1/11. During the time period, if you received anything from either account, please discard it. I’m working on retrieving my accounts back, but it will take Read More…

Leaving for Argentina

Dear all,

I am leaving for Argentina in a few hours so this blog will be quiet for another while. I know I haven’t written any climbing article regarding my China trip yet; however, the rest of the blog articles of the China series will all be related to climbing. Some tentative titles are Read More…

ClimbLog Updated!

Dear all,

I am back home in Taipei now and that means that my Yangshuo climbing trip is officially finished. This trip is my first climbing trip focusing on sport climbing; I have to say I’ve learned a great deal from my climbing partners and from simply doing it. I am never an objective Read More…

Still in Yangshuo China

The climbing in Yangshuo China continues to be great, and I am getting stronger and more confident on things I used to be afraid of. The local residents live right next to the crags are usually very friendly and helpful. And they like to call me a brave girl because Chinese climbing girls are Read More…

In Yangshuo China now

Dear friends,

I am currently in Yangshuo China doing some limestone rock climbing. This town has been a famous scenic town since generations ago. Not long ago, people discovered that Yangshuo has much great rock climbing to offer and this new discovery has ever since attracted many climbers from overseas. Even though this town Read More…

A Summer with Boys

I worked three climbing courses this summer in Pacific Northwest for YBOYS. It’s self-explanatory that our students were all boys, and they were middle school or high school Seattle urban kids. Besides that, all my co-workers were guys, and therefore I was the only female on board.

YBOYS has ambitious goals and one Read More…

Back from Squamish BC Canada

On July 15th I finished instructing a 2-week advanced climbing trip for YBOYS in Squamish BC Canada. This was my first time at Squamish and I have to say the climbing there is really sweet — I will definitely do my personal climbing trips out there to get some multi-pitches done. Everybody climbed Read More…

Some Updates

Just got out of the NOLS AKIC (Alaska Instructor Course) a few days ago. The course went well; however, I will not work for NOLS until next year because my calendar is very booked for this year. Currently I am at Pacific Northwest working for YMCA Seattle for three summer courses. I will have Read More…
