Thanksgiving break... And then some...

Well my break was decent. I had korean BBQ with a family friend on thursday. This was pretty good. You basically got some beef, pork, chicken or shrimp. And they cook it on a propane grill right in front of you. It tasted pretty good. I have been too this restaurant before. However, This time wasn't as good as I remember. But on friday, I went to a friends house and had chinese hot pot. I had so much GOOD food. Much better than what I've had here! =P Well in some cases.

Too lazy to embed it here. But it must be viewed with headphones on, and eyes closed. It is a virtual Barbershop. It shows the real power of the human brain. Just from a stereo audio track. Your brain can "paint a picture" telling you approximately where the person is relative to you! I mean think about it. No, visual clue and yet your brain can tell you where the voice is coming from. Whether it's from the left, right or behind you! Our brain is an amazing organ. Another thing that the brain can do is "remodel" itself. It's called brain plasticity. Your brain is basically, malleable. By repetition, the brain will rework itself to perform a certain task faster. There are cases, where surgeons had to remove half of a patient's brain. And within a few months, the patient could do talk and do anything a normal person would. You would be unable to tell the difference between a normal person and someone who has had half their brain removed. The human brain is amazing!!! Well, that is all i have to say...
