A Chinese saying goes like this--illness comes like landsliding but goes like cocoon stripping" so many years ago when I saw the word "patient" for the first time, I remembered the two meanings immediately--when one requires medical care, he needs to be enduring without complaint. A patient needs to be patient. These days, however, I have sort of changed my mind. Sometimes a person is willing to be so patient as to become a patient. Care is required, not necessarily medical though. / h+ s' k/ {1 d; ~1 K9 i5 Q: o$ ]9 {

Homesickness to me definitely includes missing the food in China. Several days ago, I learned from the Internet how to roast ducks. Yum yum... / W6 M' w9 F( B. G7 ^# | . _8 d! c8 d' p' }# aThe only bad thing was that I got a burn on my lower arm. Worthwhile. :D+ y" e9 c+ S+ R/ @, J" x. X# c; u

Mixed all of them together--added more sugar--stirred it until you felt bored--covered it with preservative film--put it into fridge--stirred every 30 minutes--did it at least 4 times--scratch your fridge door for hours(100,000 times is preferable) and then enjoy your ice-cream! * G4 E0 i* t" G 4 n3 q. ]$ Y* m5 l.
