50 very common ways of birding

We run in the afternoon, when birds run as well.

“We should bring binoculars!” We always say to ourselves. After missed a family of red-backed shrike playing on the power line, we finally decided to bring binoculars with us — while we run.

And we suddenly realised that, there are, of course, more than one way of birding.

Glass waist (and its relationship with your waist)

December 20, 2018April 18, 2019taoresearchthink twice, research, 2018

One night, we were drinking sake with the glass shown below. We had our last sip. We put the glass back to the table. Looking at the glass, a strange thing hooked us: the sake is not finished.

Out of curiosity, we did a research on it.

And that’s not the end of the story. After 100 years, you can surely pass your New Calendar to someone else who can surely pass the no-longer-yours New Calendar further down.
