Note:
(a) Judging fromn her other postings in Chinese (none oin English)
apparently 白洁 is an American white woman.

Sometimes her postings are titled 白洁说美语, whereas in some other times,
白洁说英语.
(b) Dupont Circle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupont_circle
(On February 25, 1882, Congress renamed the circle to "Dupont Circle", and
authorized a memorial statue of Samuel Francis Du Pont, in recognition of
his service as a rear admiral during the Civil War)
(c) 藏红花 saffron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron
(Together with their styles, stigmas are dried and used in cooking as a
seasoning and colouring agent. Saffron, long the world's most expensive
spice by weight,[1][2] is native to Southwest Asia; see the Spanish dish
paella valenciana)
Taiwan did not have this term 藏红花 when I was there. In fact I learned of
it only after coming to US.
(d) 特里尼达 Trinidad (transliterated as 千里達 in Taiwan)
(e) 寇斯比老爹 Bill Cosby (a comedian)
(f) Georgetown (Washington, D.C.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown,_Washington,_D.C.
(Georgetown was established in 1751 when the Maryland Legislature purchased
60 acres of land for the town from Gordon and Beall at the price of £
280. Since Georgetown was founded during the reign of George II of Great
Britain, some speculate that the town was named after him. Another theory is
that the town was named after its founders, George Gordon and George Beall)
Please note: Washington DC was founded in 1790. Before that, Georgetown had
been part of Maryland.
