The Glass is Also an Instrument


The Glass is Also an Instrument


I found an interesting video today, which Robert Tiso played Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor on the glasses. Very often, people regards the glass as a tool of drinking. No one believes that the glass can be a solo instrument. But in this video, we can see that a fabulous instrument can also made of glasses. The sound is so nice.  We call it glass harp. It not only can play a solo music but also can play such a complex music. That's awesome!

Comparing Social Network Site

Comparing Social Network Sites

I usually use Wechat, QQ, Weibo in China. When I came to US, I keep using them. But I found that Facebook and Skype are very popular in US.

I use Wechat a lot. In Chinese,we call it weixin. It is an app in cellphone. I can send voice messages, pictures and text free, easy and fun.

QQ is the earliest SNS what I am using. The function of QQ is extremely strong. I can chat with my friends by text, voice and video. Also, I can share documents with my friends. If I have any trouble with my computer, I can send a remote assistance invitation to my friend online for help. I think it is the most convenient SNS tool.  
I found that Sina Weibo and Facebook are almost the same. Both of them are used to share some good websites or post status on the website. Even though they can chat friends with text message, both of them can not chat with voice message. 
Thus, there are most of people use Skype or Facetime in US. Because it can call and chat with video with each there. Both of Skpye and Facetime can be used on computer and cellphone. They can convenient though.
