Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce
Marian (China)
Since I was brought up in a seaside city and I am living in Zhuhai, a seaside city too, I am obsessed with seafood so much that I cook seafood twice a week on average. One of my favorite dishes is a platter of succulent stir-fried orange-pink shrimp which symbolizes gold coins (wealth) and good fortune for the coming year. We have this dish especially for holidays.

Enjoy the bar, enjoy the music, enjoy the beer, enjoy the leasure time with your friends. This is the really Wisconsin life!
Outside the Art Institude, there is the Lake Michigan. Along the lake, there are many ducks and sea gulls swimming and flying around. People are just sitting there feeding them.
Many beautiful yachts are anchoring along the lake.
Yachts, ducks, sea gulls and people--what a peaceful scene!
People can walk or ride along the pathway to enjoy the breeze and sunshine!
Some people go there in the afternoon th take the best spot for the evening fireworks. A lot of families sit beside the lake, chatting, eating and drinking.
On the lawn, we found a lot of glowworms flying!
When it was getting dark, policemen were riding on horseback to keep order, which I have never seen before in China.
A boat was sailing from south to north along the shore. People were cheering for the 2016 Chicago Olympic Games. Music started to play! The firework show was coming!
Fireworks! 
This is me with Maggi, a large white dog. No mistake! She is a dog instead of a sheep, though she looks really like a sheep! Haha... She is famous on our campus, because Patti mentioned it to us last year. Finally I meet her! She is 13 years old, which means she's quite old. But she is no less lovely! 
Maggi, an obedient and friendly dog!
Can you figure it out what is on the ground? Hail! On the moment of our leaving, it started to rain, which has been expected for a long time. At beginning we heard something, then we found it was hailing! We seldom see hails in Zhuhai, China. We could smell the rain, wet and fresh. It has not rained since we arrived here more than two weeks ago. How much we need rain! But by the time we came back to Chancellors Hall, the rain had stopped!
Have you ever visited a nursing house to care about the old people? This afternoon we went to Clairemont Nursing And Rehabilitation to visit sinior people there. We played Bingo with them!
