It's still the non-typical midwestern march weather, going up and down from 20s to 30s, an inch of snow or two. I am relocated to where my job is, Midland, michigan. To save some breath explaining where this little town of ~60k population is, here is the link. Yali and I started out from st louis, missouri in the morning. We were pretty at leisure the whole trip, even visited the Indiana dunes state park. Although the michigan lake was still all frozen and covered by snow. The first day evening we arrived at Ann Arbor, MI, the college town where U. of Michigan is located. It was about 10 O'clock in the evening, we were lucky enough to find a restaurant opened that late on the main street, the mongolian barbecue. The next day, we walked around ann arbor. Basically, its a pretty neat town, very similar to madison, WI, except without lakes. The Main street, Liberty street and the State street are the main business districts next to the campus. It was a very cold day. Yali and I managed to took a handful of photos of the campus. Due to the extreme weather condition, some pics of her are too twisted to shown. Overall, the campus of the U. of Michigan is very compact, with a large number of buildings densely populated. There are 5 or 6 chinese restaurant, we went to one of them called Jing Hua Xiao Lou for lunch. The food tastes OK, comparable to the quality in urbana, IL.
We left Ann arbor and hit an outlet shopping mall in Howell, 30 mins north of Ann arbor. On our way out to Midland, we were caught by a big snow. Oh, hey, in case you guys didn't see the picture above. It's my new vehicle, the 2009 (yes, 9) Subaru Forester. It's redesigned model. I was the first batch of people who bought it. The SUV has an electronic stability control, in combination with its famous all-wheel-drive technology, making it super stable in condition like snow and rain.
After moving into my new apartment in midland, We drove off to see the shoreline of the Lake Huron, which is within 1 hr from midland. Below is a pic of Yali's twisted face due to the harsh weather and the beautiful scene behind her.
