The weather in Beijing and Iowa City

The weather in Beijing and Iowa City are similar because of the wind and temperature. In Beijing, the wind is strong. Specially in Autumn and Winter. When I came to Iowa, I think the wind is more stronger than in Beijing. Sometimes I feel like I'm a kite, I almost fly in the sky. But the wind is clean in Iowa City. In Beijing, the sand will come with the wind together, the sky will turn gray. That makes my feel really bad. The next similar thing is the temperature. The temperature change very fast here, it can be really cold in the morning and night, also it can be really hot in the noon. In Beijing, the temperature will change often, but not as fast as Iowa. I think people will easy get sick in Iowa. Sometimes I was thinking about how can I survive in Winter at Iowa City. Hope I will not get sick. The wind and the temperature make the weather really similar between Beijing and Iowa city.

Last Weekend

This weekend happened a lot of things. Friday night I invited many friends who live in Parklawn to eat dinner on Saturday. When I got up on Saturday morning, I went to buy some foods. Then I came back home, started to prepare the foods for dinner. Time past fast. It's 6'o clock. Everyone is coming. We had a nice dinner.

After dinner, someone suggested us to play bullshit. It's a really fun game. I think this game needs luck. If u are lucky, u may win. Anyway, is a nice weekend.

PS: It's Monday again.... Study hard!!!

My name is Yun Yang. Everyone calls me Diana. I came from China. I'm a girl. I like reading, listening music and watching movies. My favourite movie actor is Nicolas Cage. I love his movies very much. He's new movie 'National Treasure II' is going to show at the end of December. I'm looking toward it.

I'm studying at the University of Iowa now. I live in Parklawn, one of the residence halls. I have a lot of fun here. I met many people, make many new friends. The people here are very nice.

Last Saturday there was a football game at the University of Iowa. Everyone wears yellow T-shirt on the street. Everyone looks exciting. I think I will buy a football ticket next time. To realize the American culture.
