Some of my favorite things...part 2.

Nothing beats a icy cold beer on a hot summer day :) On our recent trip home, we were at a restaurant having chilli crab and drinking German beer. I cannot remember the name of ther beer, but it was good, very smooth.

My brother in law who travels to China quite a bit told me about Harbin Lager when we were home. I just happened to saw it last weekend at the grocery store, so I bought a six pack. Not bad at all. Just in time for summer :)

I can't say I'm a big fan of beer. But I do enjoy having a few beer with my friends. With the alcohol in the body, everybody lets loose a little, more relax, more fun, more interesting conversation.

在炎热的夏天夜晚, 有几瓶冰冻的啤酒, 和几个知己一边喝酒一边谈天说笑, 人生一大乐事也!




I was bored at home, just finished reading a blog on photographing food, so I thought why not. I opened a bottle of Harbin Lager, pulled out my camera and the SB-600 speedlight I just got and took a few photos of my beverage.

Some of my favorite things...

Here is the first one.



Many thinks that the blue and white BMW logo is from a plane propeller against a blue sky. This is because BMW started with buidling airplane engines. So BMW has been advertising that story in all their publications. However, while watching "The Ultimate Factory" featuring BMW on Discovery Channel recently, a spokesperson from BMW actually said that BMW had the story wrong all these time. The blue and white is actually from the Bavarian flag, which featured blue and white colors. I just find it funny that even BMW itself is confused :)
