It was then made into a romantic movie, with songs and all. Huan Dan = spoiled egg, Huan = unclear, dirty Seems San Franciscans are very appreciative of their year-long Summer. I didn't understand, when I was living there, why everyone was always outdoor, praising the beautiful sunny weather, and making the most of it, even though there is no lack of good weather year around. After living in other parts of the planet (-40 C, 6 months of snow...), now I understand. “Olive Tree” is a Taiwanese novel written by a girl who traveled alone to San Jose, California, believe it or not.

In Miami we have very relaxed academics to say the least and almost perfect weather year-round. At Dartmouth, they have miserable weather for all but three or four weeks of the entire school year and spend the majority of their college life stuck inside doing schoolwork. At Miami, everyone acts like they're too good for everything, that they always have something better to do, somewhere cooler to be, someone better looking to fuck. We have an abundance of free time and do essentially nothing with it. At Dartmouth, when students get to the weekend they know how to actually enjoy themselves with their limited time and shitty weather. I guess you just get better at enjoying something when you have less time to do it. I could probably think of some cliche to use that would work better.
