  Dear Ben,

  I'm happy for your older brother in his hobbies.Also, if he want collect mugs ,it's his choose.But it's really awful, that mugs takes up much room.

  I think people want somethings that remind about last traveled.Moreover, they like this thing and collect it.I don't collect things ,because it some dully for me.Furthermore, I will collect comics when I have money,but now I haven't money,space and other for my hobbies.Speaking of teenagers,they don't collect things in 21 century .I believe they will collect somethings from their travelled.What you want to collect ?

The Show Must Go On

  What is motto 'The show must go on' ? Who create this motto? For all people it's different meanings.
   I thinks that 'show' is real life with her event, disappointments and happy moment .You need carry on with the show and doing it very well .Also if you think differenly ,it's your opinion .This motto can be used for different goals and for different situations.
'Queen' is group who first used this phrase in thier songs.Another group used it too,like british group 'Nirvana' and 'Pink Floyd' . In world of songs it's really value motto.
How I said early every people treats it differently and nobody can't say what sense of it .But I say 'show' is doing what your want and never go astray. But I'm not sure aboit it.

Ice festival in China

  The Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival  is an annual winter festival that takes place with a theme in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China, and now is the largest ice and snow festival in the world. At first participants in the festival were mainly Chinese, however it has since become an international festival and competition. The festival includes the world's biggest ice sculptures.

  Officially, the festival starts on January 5 and lasts one month. However, exhibits often open earlier and stay longer, weather permitting. While ice sculptures are erected throughout the city, there are two main exhibition areas.

  During the festival, there are ice lantern park touring activities held in many parks in the city. Winter activities during the festival include Yabuli alpine skiing, winter-swimming in the Songhua River, and the ice-lantern exhibition in Zhaolin Garden.

  The festival originated in Harbin's traditional ice lantern show and garden party that takes place in winter, which began in 1963. It was interrupted for a number of years during the Cultural Revolution, but has since been resumed when an annual event at Zhaolin Park was announced on January 5, 1985.

  In 2007, the festival featured a Canadian themed sculpture, in memoriam of Canadian doctor Norman Bethune. It was awarded a Guinness Record for the world's largest snow sculpture: 250 metres long, 8.5 m high, using over 13,000 cubic metres of snow. The composition consisted of two parts: the "Niagara Falls" and the "crossing the Bering Strait".

 In 2015, the 31st Harbin Ice Snow Festival opened on Jan. 5 and was themed "Ice Snow Harbin, Charming China Dream" with opening ceremony, firework show, ice lanterns, snow sculpture competitions and expos, as well as winter swimming, winter fishing, group wedding ceremony, fashion shows, concerts, ice sport games lasting from 22 December 2014 to early March 2015.
