玩玩
Historical photographs of China ; I haven’t exactly figured out how this works but it looks very neat, and the associated blog is also very interesting. Bonus song, 金风玉露 from 旅行新蜜蜂.

星期又开始了，大家过得怎么样？超市里草莓出来了，好开心。好好保重身体呀～

Oooo! I'd visited that photographs site a few times in the past but had forgotten about it. Very cool!

Today I came across a Tumblr post about using 也 or 都 in a specific construction and thought the answer was nicely explained. I screencapped the exchange to remove some extraneous bits and here it is. This this past post covers the same ground, but it was good for me to review.

Character song from 大梦归离: 远舟的少年 sung by the actor, Hou Minghao. [The video I linked to is not spoilery for the series.] And there's an interesting behind-the-scenes of Hou Minghao recording the song.

Oh, that point is new to me and very helpful!

Neat! It's a nice song, and I really like these bits of process, seeing how the performance gets put together.
