Springfield, IL *Lincoln Museum and Lincoln's House

A trip with Daisy and Nicolas to Springfield, IL. It was a lull in the early morning. When we talk about Springfield, people know what we could do. You got it! Lincoln's Museum and his house. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was indeed a great man, he worths my salute. He led the country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis. Without him, slavery might still exist in this era; without him, African Americans might still being evicted, Native Americans being exiled. Came to learn about him including his assassination in April 1865 which was planned and carried out by John Wilkes Booth, his death was indeed a big lost of the United States. It was a wonderful and knowledgeable trip although the amtrak was late when we went back to Normal.

First Snow in ISU

Hohoho~ Merry Christmas!
It was a snowy night and my host mom paid me to attend Su Han's concert.
I did not really understand what they were playing but overall it was OK because I got to capture some photos of me with the fluffy and frigid snow. The weather was -15C and I was fine, this is incredible. I do love snow, it is delicate and pure.


Christmas Tree in CPA

It was me laying down on the frosty snow

The pretty castle

Whatever this building is

Right in front of the library

Words written under the arch

That was my dorm, the taller one.
