Sino Story 7: Nanjing, Xuan Wu Lake

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Just around the corner from Nanjing’s bustling Hunan Road is one of Nanjing’s most beautiful natural attractions the Xuan Wu Lake (Chinese: 玄武湖 Xuan Wu Hu). This large lake divides Nanjing’s Gulu district from the Nanjing Train Station, and also sits at the foot of Mt. Zhongshan. Although the has changed names many times throughout history, it was finally dubbed “Xuan Wu” due to legend of the black dragon that is said to live in the bottom of the lake.

Xuan Wu Lake features a lovely park and public space near the front gate (Xuan Wu Men), the Ji Ming Temple, a walking section of the Nanjing Wall, and five islands situated in the middle of the lake. Xuan Wu Lake is a must see tourist location in Jiang Su Province, but also serves as a particularly lovely recreation point for Nanjing locals.

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

My group has decided to spend a day in the wine valley to discover how the good South African wine is produced.

From Cape Town we went to Stellenbosch, situated about 50 kilometers east. It is the second oldest European settlement in the Western Cape province.

The South African wine industry produces about 1,000,000,000 litres of wine annually. Stellenbosch is the primary location for viticulture and viticulture research.

The small city looks like a cenarium. The time seems to be stopped there.

We visited the Village Museum. It shows the four historical Stellenbosch house’s built in four different city moments:

THE SCHREUDEURHUIS – 1680 – 1720

BLETTERMANHUIS – 1750 – 1790

GROSVENOR HOUSE – 1800 to 1830

OM BERGH – 1850 – 1870

We visited three different wine yards and understood a little bit more about wine production…

All vineyards offer wine tasting, we taste lots of kinds of wine and almost got drunk.

The third post will be…from Wineland to Durban…

Serbia and National Park Tara

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Hi guys,

here is little reportage from my country Serbia and National Park Tara

I’ve spent here amazing weekend and so much of good sleep that I usually miss in the vrowded city.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/54 / lens aperture: F4.7 / ISO:160/ Flash: NO

So, let me introduce you with part of my country…

Tara Mountain, part of the Outer Dinaric Alps, is located in western Serbia and stands at 1,000-1,500 meters above sea level. The mountain’s slopes are clad in dense forests with numerous high-altitude clearings and meadows, steep cliffs, deep ravines carved by the nearby Drina River and many karst, or limestone caves. The mountain is a popular tourist center. Tara’s national park encompasses a large part of the mountain.

Flash: NO

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/45 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO:120 / Flash: NO

The national park consists of a group of mountain peaks with deep picturesque gorges between them. The most striking of these gorges is the Drina Gorge, with its sheer drops from 1000-250 meters and extensive views of western Serbia and nearby Bosnia.

Forests account for three quarters of this national park’s area, some of them being the best preserved and well-kept in Europe. Tara also boasts a rare endemic Tertiary species, the Picea omorika, or Serbian Spruce, which is now protected in a small area of the park. Because of its rarity and scientific importance, it has been placed under national protection.

China Food: The Life of a Vegetarian in China

The food in China is one of the main tourist attractions, and key components to understanding Chinese culture.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/15sㅣf3.5 ㅣISO 240ㅣ4.9mm]

Eating in China you are likely encounter many new dishes and flavors you never imagined, especially if your idea is based upon Chinese cuisine from America or other western countries. Beijing vegetarian/vegan for nearly 15 years, I have become quite accustomed in navigating my way around menus and restaurants in America.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/2sㅣf4.1 ㅣISO 400ㅣ6.5mm]

Yet, eating in a foreign country is one of the splendid treasures of travel, but can also be a treacherous adventure. Since coming to China for professional outings last year, I learned quickly how important sharing a meal with others can be in Chinese culture.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/60sㅣf4.7 ㅣISO 3200ㅣ8.3mm]

In China relationships are born across the dinner plate, and those who break bread together may continue forward as life long friends, colleagues, or business partners.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/6sㅣf4.1 ㅣISO 400ㅣ6.5mm]

Not partaking in the meal is certainly awkward in most countries, however it can be perceived as down right criminal in China. The Chinese diet is hardly deficient of all-vegetable or mostly-vegetable options.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/15sㅣf4.1 ㅣISO 240ㅣ6.5mm]

In fact, many dishes are mostly vegetable with a small amount of meat added for flavor. I’ve found being in China offers many delicious options for vegetarians, and the lack of cheese, mayo, and dairy products in Chinese cooking makes ordering a meal even less problematic than in America.

Sino-Story #2: Spring in Nanjing.

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Spring arrived in Nanjing last week. Temperatures soared to the mid 20’s (centigrade) and people began peeling away layers of clothing that had been serving as protection from harsh winter winds.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/500sㅣf4.4 ㅣISO 80ㅣ13.7mm]

Chinese buildings are usually only heated in rooms where you sleep or spend most of your day, so people are accustomed to wearing coats indoors, and drinking hot water as a means of keeping their bodies warm while working. Of course newer buildings may have central heating, but my classrooms and apartments do not. Instead wall mounted or stand alone “air conditioning” units (“kong tiao” in Chinese) are used to circulate warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer.

[Samsung ST550(TL225) 1/125sㅣf5.4 ㅣISO 80ㅣ18.7mm]

Once the sun starts to heat the air outside the apartment buildings, trees, and railways all transform into venues for hanging freshly laundered clothing, and airing blankets and mattresses that have been indoors throughout the winter. In fact, the colors of the fabric blowing in the wind look quite festive, even if it is an ordinary part of Chinese life.

Diane Pernet's a surprising visit

Diane Pernet: Back to our habitat.

It was shiny Saturday afternoon. I could easily notice the appearance of our guest in a black dress. When Diane Pernet entered into Samsung d’light building in Seoul, full of her images on the digital wall and warm welcome messages on the floor were greeting her. Was she touched? Sure!

It was actually her second visit to Samsung d’light. She seemed more comfortable and more familiar than the first time. With our staff, she looked around the space and tested new products. During the tour of Samsung d’light, she was always with her camera ST550(TL225) which was the special present from the last visit. The camera has black body with a gold line that is a perfect match for her black dress, dark sunglasses, black hair and her black veil. (to see the story of her last visit, please click here.)

After the tour of new products, she had an interview with us. Bloggers and I asked about her lovely camera ST550(TL225), and her fashion career. Diane answered every question very gently and sincerely that I was so impressed with it.

When She Cuts Her Hair…Look Out

Some psychologist say: “ when your woman suddenly decides that a nice shoulder length bob would flatter her more, or worse, comes home out of the blue one day with all her hair hacked off, look out”

They say that every time when woman decide to cut her hair means she is going through something very emotional, very unpleasant, and more than likely, something very much related to men.

In my case…well i really had need for something new, something fresh, some kind of “new me”. Maybe you cannot live from perfect job or see all places you’re dreaming about, or buy every peace of clothes you

When you’re kind of “chica” like me, you can get bored quite easily, and get amused even more eaasily. With my beautiful Samsung ST550(TL225) and marvelous options for photo edition i realised that cutting hair and making “new me” was just right step to do! How i know that? Well, after month since i cut my hair i still get thrilled when i see my new look in the mirror and get inspiration to make new portraits and see how i look like in BW or Sepia or…like Cleopatra?! Lol Maybe males around you will be shocked in a first moment and look at you very strange (as you can see on this photo☺ ) but they will get used eventually.

After the Carnival in Brazil

Posted by Renato Costa on Mar 17, 2010 •

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

[Samsung ST550 1/180s ㅣf/9.5 ㅣISO 80ㅣ5.3mm]

Generally, the Carnival (Carnaval) holiday in Brazil is a time for a free fantasy. Many people moving across the country to take rest or to play carnival in places where there are parades and crowds of people, as Salvador, Recife and Rio de Janeiro. Here in São Paulo the city become empty, despite that we have a carnival parade.

I decide to take a rest here and start using my new Samsung Compact Camera ST550, and the pictures needed to show the work of São Paulo’s carnival after parade.

[Samsung ST550 1/350s ㅣf/4.4 ㅣISO 80ㅣ13.7mm]

Why?  Because everyone thinks just about the parade and don’t realize what happens after it!

[Samsung ST550 1/500s ㅣf/4.7 ㅣISO 80ㅣ8.3mm]

The schools of samba keep all cars with allegory in one place until the result of the carnival competition is announced on the Tuesday afternoon carnival in São Paulo. There is a kind of ceremony where long lines are armed in sambódromo site. Tents are armed position where the representatives of each school, which will annotate the notes as they are being disseminated, making the calculations. The chairman of the league makes the final considerations about the carnival that year, reads the possible loss of points given to each school, and then start reading the notes.

[Samsung ST550 1/180s ㅣf/5.4 ㅣISO 80ㅣ18.7mm]

After the result of this competition is announced the best schools of samba parade again in Sambódromo, at the end of the week following the carnival. This parade has no competitive character, it is only a kind of festival to crown the year’s best schools, where the parade foliões can more carefree with questions.

[Samsung ST550 1/180s ㅣf/9.1 ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.9mm]

To provide a parade is necessary at least 10 months working that is shown in just 80 minutes and after this all work done become obsolete, without use.
