#Life is #unfair because it's the consequence of #unpredictable and #stochastic processes since Big Bang. However, we are now alive, and we may have a better #future. At the end of the day, we started from nothing, and life is a #free #journey. That is what I am thankful for.
#HappyThanksgiving!

My certificate of scuba diving!

My certificate of scuba diving!
My 1st scuba diving experience in Great Barrier Reef, the world largest coral reef area, Australia. Due to pollution, climate crisis, etc., corals are dying faster. Shouldn't we allow our children to see those and live in a cleaner world? Let's protect our environment for future generations.

Humans are beautiful only when getting along with nature, not necessarily when conquering them.
As mom Kangaroo is carrying her baby in her pouch, humans should embrace the planet when living in it, by not disturbing sleeping koala and building box beach houses without contaminating sources in them.

Nature is great! Koala, Kangaroo, and the 2nd largest tree species in the world, just after one in Yosemite or Red woods, California.
12 Apostles, Australia, is the highlight of today's trip.

Invention often comes from a necessity or by accident.
I was frying bacon, mushroom & garlic that accompany rice, but found no steamed rice. I quickly searched for alternatives, finding potato & inventing Moon fries!
Recipe: all grilled, served with cucumber & soybean paste!

For the last night of my 15-day trip to give talks & meet people, including Lin Su at Queen Mary U. of London, where I gave my last talk, we had dinner. Then I spontaneously got a 50 pound seat, 10 m from the stage, 3 min before Mamma Mia started.
Am I enjoying my life too much?
