The topic of our group is Transportation. As we know, New York city is one of the busiest cities in the world. There are a lot of people using public transportation to get to work and school everyday. Also, New York city subway has 7/24 service. So, transportation is a really important part of not only New York but any other place in this world.  From my point of view, it is important to keep track of some transportation news.

I used to live in Newport, near Hudson river. I can see ferries sailing on the river from my window.  I was wondering how can so many different sizes of boats, ferries and ships sail in limited area without accident. Then, I found the article about ferry horns on New York Times website. From the article, I knew that ferries will sound the horn twice before it leaves the dock. However, the sound has disturbed residents who lived in downtown manhattan.

Hi! My dear classmates! My name is Yunxiang Li and English name is Steven. I was born in Chengdu, China. Although, both of my parents are not local people in Chengdu, I can count as a Chengduer. Chengdu is a wonderful place to visit and I am feeling lucky that I grew up and studied there in Chengdu.

I set a Bugatti sportscar as my first image. It is the car that I really love. When I was young, I stood behind the window to see all kinds of cars and I could identify almost all the models and brands of cars. So, car is one of the most thing I love. The second picture shows the Tianfu square in Chengdu and it is the geographic center of Chengdu city. Then, a picture of original hotpot with red background really reminds me about the spicy food in my hometown. Hotpot is one of my favorite dinner choice when I was in Chengdu. Dog is my Chinese Zodiac.  Also, I always want to have a golden retriever. I think dogs are good friends of human beings.They are also cute and active. The next photo is a earphone made by B&O. I love listening high quality music with fancy equipment. I also bought a speaker which sounds amazing. Then, It is a screenshot from Google map. What I want to express is I like traveling. I traveled at least twice a year(long-distance travel) The next picture shows Alps mountain in Switzerland. Switzerland is the country I like and also the place I’d love to visit. The last image exactly reveals who I am. I am really a dozer and foodie. I’m super lazy and I mean it.
