Smoking
Smoking looks like a personal matter but actually is a public issue. This time I witness more people smoke in Asia. Especially there are more young or female smokers. I was surounded with lots of smokers no matter where I moved. I had no place to escape to.

Raining season or should I say skiing season!
Winter is CA's primary rain season. The rain in winter is very important here and accounts for a majority of the yearly water supply. The reason is very simple. CA's weather climate is similar to Mediterranean, dry and lacks moisture. It won't snow in temperatures below zero unless it rains. The rain in winter will produce snow in mountains and pile up. The snow will melt gradually when weather warms up producing a constant water supply.

UK travel note 2 - Two countries, Two treatments
As I mentioned in last note, US and UK tighted up security check procedures due to new plot. They implement the body search and full search on carry-on to filter out bad seeds. Body search is very common practice in Asia and Asia travelers are willing to accept it. But in Western world, people feel uncomfortable of body search and disgust at such practice. I remember about 2 years ago there was serious dispute about a new advanced X-ray machine. Well, under such new development, people can't help but to accept it.
