I can’t remember one summer in Beijing without watermelon. Long before air conditioning was available, it helped people cool down and survive the unbearable heat. When I was little, I thought grandma has superpowers because she could tell if a melon is ripe or not by tapping on it. Later she told me the secrets of choosing ripe and sweet watermelon: Tapping on it and listening to the sound: If you hear a crisp “peng peng” then the watermelon is ripe. If you hear a heavy “dang dang”, then it’s not ready. You can also look at the color, the stripes and the stem of watermelon to see if it's in good condition. I never forgot her words, and there are many other tips and tricks like this that I’ve learned from elder generations. Living abroad, I find myself still using them in my everyday life. They are not profound knowledge but rather everyday wisdom coming from observation, experience, and attention to the details of life. 🍉🍉🍉 #everydaytips #watermelon #howtopickwatermelon #grandmasays #everydaywisdom #sliceoflife #chineselife #tinyeyescomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CC58_WoiBsN/?igshid=2n7t8595ljse

Grandmas got a great Idea for the Kids during this holiday season
Coffee filters are a wonderful trick to trapping dust and they are cheap, biodegradable and really effective; but you want to hear a fun project for the kids......
Take some coffee filters and scissors and have the kids make decorative snow flakes to hang up all around the house and little do you know by the time the Holidays are over they are saving you some serious after Holiday dusting time because the coffee filters will trap and lock all the dust right on to those snowflakes and TADA instant time saver!! - “Grandma loves that word TADA”

I feel so rested and emotionally recharged! I needed this break so much! I actually feel emotional at the feeling of relief - I can't explain what from but we often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to do this or that and be awesome ❤ I think I'm tired of being awesome looool 😂 😂 So much love where you look properly Like my granny says: you just have to choose . . .

You know I think my grandma is the only person I know who can go from telling me to clean my room to singing folk songs to asking god to grant our corrupted and cruel society forgiveness in the span of 1.5 minutes.
