More than 35 people signed the book, and about 50 people were curious about who a writer is, what the Katrina cottage looks like. These cottages are those which were used in New Orleans, after the crisis there. I was encouraged to see two Chinese residents visit; one was from Malaysia and had met someone who was an expert in dragonflies, and the other was married locally, and she told the group gathered together that it is different in China. The individual is only important as he contributes to the whole; what matters is harmony and others, not the individual. She made hand gestures: America and China are "inside out" different, but they also share values, and as a China born Chinese American, she says she loves her life here.
I met a talented artist and provide her website to introduce her. We hope to travel to Laguna Beach to her gallery and for me to visit her studio while I am here. She had just returned from Canada.
I wrote an essay for the Dragon festival.
