Last holiday, I went to Bangka on Tuesday, 19 December 2017. I went to Bangka with my uncle, my auntie, and my cousins. I didn’t go with my parents because they’re not interested. I went there by using airplane. Unfortunately, there’s only one flight to Bangka from Bandung and the flight is on 7.10 p.m. On the way to the airport, there was a lot of traffic that made us stressed, because we were afraid we will miss our flight, but luckily, we arrived before the plane took off. After we checked in at the airline desk, we went through the security, and we handed over our luggage to the airport officer. Then we went to the waiting room. It turned out that our plane was delayed for about a half an hour. We took off at around 9 p.m. We arrived at Depati Amir Airport at around 10 p.m. The flight was rough because off the weather, but I was doing fine in the plane. I didn’t felt nauseous or dizzy at all, I just felt a little pain in my ear that I usually suffer whenever I ride a plane. Th...

On her 75th birthday, Ah-ling distributed her wealth among her four sons and announced that she would spend three months of the year with each son, in turn.  The arrangement worked well for a while and then the old woman found that the welcome she received at each son's house was becoming less and less cordial. Finally she began to feel positively unwanted. Now she saw her sons in their true colors. Money meant everything to them, people came second.  One day, Ah-ling's friend, Jing-mei, came to see her. Jing-mei was distressed to find her friend in such an unhappy state and advised her on what she should do. Afterwards, Jing-mei tearfully embraced her friend, and left.  A few days later, towards sundown, Ah-ling went out without telling anyone where she was going and returned an hour later, her clothes covered in mud.  "Where did you go?" asked her son, and then seeing that she was holding a small ornamental chest, hurried to her, his gaze riveted on the casket....

Located at the mouth of the  Hudson River  in southeastern New York state, New York is one of the world's great cities. It has the largest population of any city in the United States, and it is unrivaled in the diversity of its neighborhoods and their often-colorful residents. New York runs the gamut from great concentrations of wealth, epitomized by luxury apartment buildings and hotels and mammoth corporate headquarters, to the grinding urban poverty of its ethnic and racial ghettos. A major financial and economic center, it is also a cultural mecca that has attracted generations of artists and intellectuals and draws millions of tourists every year. In its 400-year history the city has grown and changed rapidly, repeatedly renewing itself through successive waves of immigration and urban development. As a new century approaches, it remains, perhaps more than anything else, a city on the move. New York is made up of five districts, called boroughs. Manhatt...
