Why the real villain is sugar. With Dr. Sten Ekberg ... With Dr. Robert Lustig ... With Dr. William Li ...

A little outside of our usual type of post, but we think that this is a topic that ripples widely. Here, some ABCs (American Born Chinese) straight talking from real life experience. First, a hyper-drive Wei Li, with a little 'bad language', but strong message. Not Chinese, not American, just a regular Jo / Joe ? There's still a message for you / us all. Be strong, yet without any need to put others down; be totally you while appreciating others. Wei Li nails it. Never think 'better than others'; think 'best I can be' (no compromise on who you are, no fear, no hate). Asians are all A+ students, right ?! Exploring stereotypes and the harm that, often silently, can ensue. CanWen Xu ... Olivia Lai ...

Some of her favorite places in the city ...

The peaceful YùLóng Hé between YangShuo and GuiLin, GuangXi province, south China ...

In their last days as students at the Beijing University of Language and Culture, trips to the Summer Palace (YíHéYuán) and the ruins of, but still beautiful, 'Old Summer Palace' (YuanMingYuan). These are within walking distance of each other in west Beijing and both have metro (subway) stops. In neither film are all the scenic spots visited; but then these are huge places; both are well worth a visit when you're in Beijing ...

昆明~石林…奇峰異石 Approximately 90 km (55 miles) from the provincial capital of YunNan, KunMing.
