Fragrant Mountain 香山
It's been foggy and raining over the past few days. Despite the the cloudy weather, I went to Fragrant Mountain again over the weekend. This time I went with some students from my English class. On this trip, rather than taking many pictures, I took videos. After the trip I edited the videos together and added music and uploaded it to the Internet. The result can be seen here below.
I still love photos, but videos allow me to do new things. I like adding music to give a certain feeling to the imagery. I chose Chinese songs for the videos because they emphasize that the scenes were taken in China and some readers here may never have heard modern Chinese music, so it might be interesting and fun for some.
That is one of the discoveries I've had since coming to China. I never would have guessed that I would like modern Chinese music. But there are some really great artists, especially one I like is called "Pu Shu". I think his music is really beautiful. My video uses one of his songs.
I had this idea recently... wouldn't it be nice if your travels could finance more travels in the future. Like earning money for going on vacation, and then using that money to go on more vacations. Wouldn't that be the life?
If I could make Getpowers.com more interesting by creating travel blogs, photo galleries, adding interesting videos from fascinating places, and drive traffic to the site and earn money, that could potentially help me travel to more and more exotic and interesting places.
I really surprised my English class yesterday. I asked anyone in class if they have a box or can they could give me. Everyone had a little bewildered look on there face. They asked what did I want it for? I said, well I really would like to go to Hawaii. So I need to get a box or can to collect money from everyone to help me to go Hawaii. I told them I wanted to go to Hawaii as soon as possible. All the money they gave me would be appreciated, but preferably they should give me as much as they can. I really tried hard to keep a straight face. They all look a little baffled, like why would they want to help me to go Hawaii??? Finally I started laughing and they figured out I was joking.
I have a little bit of a mean streak really. I like to play with my students sometimes, I try my best to keep a straight face and say some real off-color jokes and humor. But I can't help it. Its too funny sometimes.
