The year of 2003 is passing by.

Personal

In this year, I got married, held the big fat wedding ceremony. I didn't have any long trip (like Daocheng of last year), but I paid short trips to nearby areas. It sounds crazy to cycle to Taihu, Chongming, Tongli, and Pudong Airport. I also visited some unuasual places like seashore, 30N 119E. There are still some Starbucks stores I didn't visit this year yet. Maybe next year...

I learnt to drive and got my driver's license this year. I had good time to drive in this large city.

Domestic

This year is a bad year for China. SARS, fire, the taiwan's election and the blowout of natural gas... all claimed many people's life.

International

The year of 2003 is also a bad year internationally. The Iraq war, mad cows, the Iran earthquake... bad news after bad news.

2003 is a year of change.... Isaac's post confirmed that widely spread saying "2003 is a bad year". I hope the new start of 2004 will bring more good news to us.
