I was given the honor to perform a beautiful piece of music by Xiaogang Ye at the Olympic opening ceremony yesterday. Being apart of the young generation in China, it is especially an honor for me to perform at the opening ceremony because it is a symbol of how China is changing. In this new generation, we are enjoying a very different way of life from our parents. We love Western culture and classical music but we also have strong and sturdy Chinese traditions. The Beijing Olympics is giving the world an opportunity to glance in on this new China. I am so proud to be able to participate during such a glorious time for my home country.

Yesterday I was very excited to fly from Germany on a private jet to come to Liverpool England and play on the Royal Variety Show. I met many interesting people back stape at the Empire Theater including Bon Jovi, Seal, Jame Blunt and Joan Rivers. The most important thing was to play in front of Her Majesty, the Queen of England and Prince Philip. The Queen thanked me for coming all the way to England and the Prince said how amazing that my fingers are still there after playing such a fast piece! He also said that it's amazing that the piano still stands after such a wild piece (Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody #2). I'm now on my way to meet my favorite soccer team, Manchester United, and get a private tour of the stadium.

I want to Dubai and loved it. It has an exotic middle east look but also a modern NY look. The city is edgy and fantasy land like. I had an amazing tour of the desert safari. It was like a roller coaster ride. I also skiied in an indor resort which was wild! I even rode a camel, ate arabic BBQ and did a belly dance in the middle of the desert.

I'm so excited to move to New York. Finally I've found a wonderful apartment. The reason I'm so excited is to be somewhere that I have so many friends. It will be so great to have a home base and not be in a hotel room. I'm going to focus on spending more days and nights in New York to make it my home.
