Snake

Most people fear snakes, me too. But in my life, I never hurt by snakes. The first time I met a snake was around 10. At that time I joined a outdoor activity for mountain climbing in the nighttime. We watched some nocturnal animals and birds. On the way to leave the mountain, we met a snake but teachers didn't show fear. They taught us to calm down and how to treat animals. Then we passed by there and snake also disapeared soon. Though snakes did not hurt me, I fear of its appearance still. In my senior high school, the first year I joined the biological dissection club. In this way, I could have the experience of dissection prior than other students. And I had a special expereince that a student's parent assist us to buy snakes for dissection. At first, I didn't want to touch the snake. Until we used the alcohol to cook it and I was certainly sure the snake would not bite me. This is the first time I touched the real snake. I thought it was not so sacred at all. And it's ture that snake meat tastes would be better than chicken meat. However, I didn't eat it because I still in fear. Then how can I know sname meat is delicious than chicken meat? Because we just used hot water to boil it and we could smell the chicken soup at that moment. After two years, I was almost 18 in senior high school. And my school came a biology practice teacher. He had two pets, one is a cute snake and another one is scorpion. The snake he kept is a small python with orange and white color. Also it has the ruby (red jewel) eyes. I didn't know why my classmates were excited to play with his snake. So the snake just hidden its body into his hole. Then the practice teacher caught it to show us. Suddenly I found that snakes are also fear human beings. When I was 20, I started to know our aboriginal culture. Most legends mentioned to snakes and lizards. Originally I wanted to try snake meat for my liver, but since I knew our aboriginal culture, I would not eat it. In addition, I would not fear of snakes but respect them.

Weird Thought

Since last week I talked with a Kansai woman, my brain came up with weird thought. Because she told to me how dangerous and bad guys in Arab countries. But in my opinion, I thought Israel is more dangerous to stay before I talked to her. However, I would like to skip those Arab countries to experience Kibbutz in Israel first. Even it's dangerous for wars and terrorism, I am afraid that I would regret what if I miss this kind of expereince. It would be helpful for Taiwan.
I remembered when I stayed in New Zealand, our teacher said that New Zealand is very safe. There are no snakes or sharks kind of horrible animals. And then I told to my Filipino pal that Taiwan also doesn't have any sharks surrounded by because all sharks had been eaten by our people or seld out to other countries. She laughed for a while. But I am serious to think of the issue that human being is more fearful than beasts. Don't you think so?
After I finish my part time job today, I think I would like to share the experiences that I met snakes three times in my life.

さようなら

These days I had many feelings but I didn't want to typle all to describe my feeling every moment.
First, I have decided something already in my mind. And I really want to find a world map to buy and hand on my wall, in this way I can stare the map every day.
Besides that, I hope I can go to the Yilan Green Expo, but I don't have any ideas now. Perhaps I could go with my Mom and take many photos.
Second, I didn't tell Linda that our people love to invest and earn money then use that for donation. Yet our people don't like to go shopping at all. We would think that you run out of money on shopping and you have to work more harder with higher pressure. Maybe that is also why the researches showed our people used to save the little money but prefer to spend on large amount of money, such as, house and car. Now our hot topics are how to invest after Japan's tsunami and donate money to Japan. In addition, many Taiwanese like to retire earlier and then work as for volunteer or learn new things when they get older. We think these are happy things in life. What if no political problem for Taiwan, I have thought to work volunteer job in Africa as the first choice. But now I must challenge my weak character to do something meaningful things for my love. I cannot figure out why other Asian girls tell me that I should find a partner to live, otherwise I would feel lonely. Perhaps they also cannot understand how deep the pain of my heart. Until I finish all goals I set, I would stop the pain from Taiwan. So the first step is to beyond myself in the past.
Last, I am happy for this news and video.

親日国家の台湾が3月11日に日本で起きた地震に対してチャリティー番組を行い、その番組を通じて集まった義援金が40億円（15億元）に達したという。台湾は日本と近いことから親身になって心配してくれているとのこと台湾の人口は2000万人。この短期間でこんなにも義援金が集まったのは異例のことだという。とても嬉しい話だ。
この義援金は台湾赤十字を通じて日本に送られるとされている。

それを知ったネットのユーザーも感動しているらしく以下のように意見を書き込んでいる。
・相当出来のいい番組だったんだな
・為替とか考えたら、マジどれくらいなんだよ……

In conclusion, I will try my best to introduce Taiwan for other people who never heard Taiwan.

Memorial photobook

Since I back to Taiwan, I thought for a long time to make two photobooks for Mai and me. And I finally started to make them. However, so far I just finished until the second day we met in New Zealand.
I drew the the map of New Zealand, Japan and Taiwan. And I don't know why at that time I wanted to write some chinois sentences, maybe at last Mai asked me whether she learns chinois after she goes back to Japan and chats with me in some chinois. Anyway, the blue words in English is the translation vision for chinois words. And green words in Japanese words are the lyrics we sang in the last day I stayed in New Zealand. And then I recalled our memory as possible as I can on photobook. We met at the bus stop and we studied in the University of Waikato. Moreover, Japanese student group took the photo with our Taiwanese student group on the first day. I feel happy that we two countries have the deep friendship in foreign countries still.
On the second day, we happened the interesting thing. We chased after the bus together and on the bus we decided to have the after class adventure only our two foreign students. As we know that Japanese like the group activity and prefer to stay with homestay family. So I changed my life since then, because I did the after class adventure alone before she came to New Zealand. But not all Taiwanese are like me, most of our people still like the group activity. But this time I had the important tasks to do in New Zealand. So I should be alone to finish my tasks.
Also on the second day she asked me may I send her home after our adventure. We happened many jokes in our communication. Everyday she always tells me thank you and I am the kindest person she had ever been. All I can answer to her is that our nation personaility. We like to help others, and others feel happy, we would feel happy. At last, she used to accept our people's help in anything. She told to me that my city's people like the Osaka people in Japan. And we all laughed. As follow, that is a map for our homes.
I still need to finish the next 15 days in the photobooks. I think it would be the unforgettable memory for us. I am thankful that we were neighborhood in New Zealand.

Faber Castell

Last Sunday I went to the art shop, and the seller made a mistake to tell me that green one is pastel pencils. So I bought the oil color pencils, but when I saw "made in Germany", I think I should use it often in the future. In addition, I bought a can of concentrated fixative for pastel. And it is made in Netherlands. However, this month I could not spend more. Therefore I just can go to the art shop again and then buy the pastels in blue class. And it is not made in Germany. I am so sad for that. Now I am thinking when will I run out of the color pencils, because I prefer to use the water color pencils not oil. I don't have enough time to improve my poor painting skills.

A Memorial Day For Me

On 23rd March is an important day for me since eight years ago. Since then, my life had the another turning point. I still remember on that day was Sunday.
So tomorrow I will give me a day off and relax myself. It also means I need to calm down my mood and no one can bother me. Moreover, I would go to the old places to recall the memory. I think after that I would be full charged.

My tutor student and his rabbit

I usually have the childlike behavior in my life. I don't like to have the window shopping in cloth or shoes stores, but I like toy stores. Of course, I like to talk with my toys on my bed. But my friends' mother also know their dolls name. Since I knew that, I found it's a crazy world that I could easy find common freinds.
Because I usually show off my dolls to my tutor student, and he also took his new rabbit to my home. He really likes to act a child to me, sometimes I make fun of him. But he knows that I am very kind to him. I just don't let him enter into my room, my room always locks safely, haha

Those things Japanese taught me

This time I could find Japanese would think the integrity of the team rather than individualism. So they told to me that they could not leave Japan because of other Japanese victims in Japan, though they were moving that our people would like to take care them and pick them to stay in Taiwan.
On the other hand, this kind of situation in Taiwan, our people would escape away to Taiwan because our people want to survive. That's why it's popular for our people to immigrant. Same for me, I would like to survive first. Perhaps it shows my selfishness. But I will do something meaningful to atone for Taiwan what if I leave Taiwan. Sorry, I hope other Taiwaner would understand why I have such a decision. I leave not because I don't love thee much.
The attitude of Japan's government made our people admire. Because they are very dedicated to defending the country. What if the same situation in Taiwan, our government officers would take the plane to the United States first. You cannot imagine that our current president has a green card and USA passport. Moreover, his daughters, wife and three sisters also have the green cards. In addition, his father always thinks he is a chinois until he passed away. When will our people have the responsible, patriotic and strong government as Japan?

台湾は「ドラえもんだ」 いつも援助の手を差し伸べてくれる＝日本の声

台湾が東北地方太平洋沖地震に対して1億台湾ドル（約2億8000万円）の義援金を送るとを決定したことについて、中国メディアの環球時報は14日付で「日本のネットユーザーから『台湾はドラえもんのような存在だ』との声があがった」と報じた。
■「東日本大震災（2011年3月）」に関する写真を見る
　　地震と津波の被害に対し、世界各国から救援隊が派遣され、食糧や義援金も続々と寄せられている。台湾は当初、885万台湾ドル（約2500万円）の義援金を送ると発表していたが、被害が拡大し続ける状況にともなって、馬英九総統自ら1億台湾ドル（約2億8000万円）に増額すると発表し、日本のネットユーザーの話題となった。
　　当初発表された885万台湾ドルの義援金に対して、台湾ネットユーザーからは「少なすぎる」という声があがったという。

After I read this news, I smiled for a while. Even I am dissatisfied with the Government of Taiwan, 2008 chine's earthquake we donated 2 billion NT Dollars to chine. They used that to buy the weapons and aimed to Taiwan. Though their people laughed our people are stupid that those missiles also could attack other neighbor countries nearby Taiwan but not Taiwan. I don't think we need to donate the money for them to buy the weapons and hurt our people. And the difference between this contribution and last contribution is 20 times. Same, if chine is our neighbor country, and Japan is also our neighbor country. We should treat them in the same standard.
Another good news is our search and rescue teams arrived in Japan to help them now. At the same time, many foreign tourists fear of nuclear radiation and quickly leave Japan back to their countries. It also can show our real friendship.
Still, 50 people are clinging to the nuclear power plant. Their spirit made me respect.
Last, I sincerely recommend the Japanese government could consider to place the victims in Taiwan. The second part is to coopertate with Taiwan in economic field, we are lack of the high technology and Japan needs the fund. Don't keep the face still, because now Taiwan still can decide by ourselves to help Japan. However, we could not determine the future if chine's power control Taiwan. Taiwan is the best choice to be partner. In this way, it can save the stock market and recover soon.

Let it go

These days I was really really sad for Japanese news, also shamed some stupid things and people. 日本の安全を祈ります!日本の皆さん、頑張ってください！After this event, I observed our people's responses. We really want to take care of Japanese and cry for them. Some even want to fly to Japan and become the volunteers to assist the rescue. However, we could do nothing but watch the tv and donate money.
And then I realized one thing that why some people hate them and talk to us how many bad things they did, our people don't care that. Although those people inform us many times as for mother or brother, our people still not in the same boat with them. Perhaps Singapore, Hong Kong or Thailand kind of countries are like brotherhood relationship for our people. Yet Japan is like a former lover in the past for us. What if let you choose, brother and lover, which one you love deeply? Though others told to you that your lover hurt you a lot, you still love him or her without regrets.
I brought my view and discussed with my friends today, they thought my analogy is fresh but consistent with public sentiment. Then another one told me so some country is rival in love now. So I kept thinking over and over again on the way home, it's time to go out of the historical cycle. In addition, these half month I started to want to read many books related with the Queen Elizabeth I.
Now I decided to let it go. Then I should start my new life and new mood. This week we had a only good news that chairwoman of the DPP party Tsai Ing Wen announced that she will run for the 2012 presidential election. This is the last chance that I would like to bet on election. What if she could not save the election result in 2012, I will start the nomadic life in advance.
So please let us have the first female president in Asian countries. Same, 台湾の皆さん、頑張ってください!
p.s. if she could change the inferior position, I would like to volunteer for military service for six months to protect my country's security.

Earthquake in Miyagi

As a matter of fact, Japan had the serious earthquake and tsunami yesterday, and I more worry about the volcanic eruptions. Because Taiwan is generated by the two compression plates. It made me used to the earthquakes. And it is not a bad thing that we have 10,000 smaller earthquakes in a year to release energy. What if we don't have the earthquakes, I would worry and pray to release energy. Compare to other countries, they rarely happen or seldom face the small earthquakes, until the earth release its energy, it would be serious more than Taiwan. The strong energy release would catalyze the volcanic activities. Fortunately, Taiwan is not a volcanic island and Pacific Ocean eliminates the power of tsunami from Japan to Taiwan.
Even there is also an another country in serious earthquake, our news reported all day for Japanese news. I guess because there are many Taiwaner immigrants and tourists in Japan now. Thankfully, so far my Japanese friends and all Taiwaner are fine in Japan.
After this event, I found I have a tacit understanding with Mai. We thought the same thing almost at the same time, afterwards I checked message on facebook, she sent me the message at the first moment of the earthquake. And she could not contact with internet and cell phone. As for me, I heard the news when I rode my scooter on the way to work, and then I quickly sent the message to her phone and tried to contact to her by cell phone. Yet it could not dial. I just could pray all afternoon. Until I went back home, the first moment we could contact each other, we also had the same response and the same words.
I told to my Japanese friends that they should come to Taiwan for sleeping if they still fear for the powerful aftershocks all night. They also agreed it is a good idea.

Victoria Street

So far I recieved 31 postcards in total, but I remember I lost 1 postcard on Febuary 2nd to record how I met my Japanese neighbor. I hope it would arrive to Taiwan soon. Don't get lost in New Zealand.
This is Maori culture. Acually most people like to buy the postcards for beautiful scenes. But this time I bought some Maori related culture postcards. When I entered into the Waikato Museum, I held back the tears to look Maori history and culture. And then I think New Zealand government treats Maori people very well, I can see many things written in English and Maori language. However, compare to our government, we treated aborigines very poor. I cannot see any aborigines langauges common in Taiwan but only chinois or sometimes I can see English.
Perhpas it was a right decision long time ago they left Taiwan toward to New Zealand. The so called aboriginal art in Taiwan is worthless, yet in New Zealand, I can find most souvenirs related with Maori culture. I feel ashamed our policies to treat aborigines. When I heard many kiwis can count their birds name in Maori calling way, I feel more ashamed for myself. I don't know what did I do in the past 22 years.

See you Yokohama!

March is a busy month for me. I regret I went to drink the alcohol on my birthday. I should quickly finish the letters I need to reply. But what if I didn't tell my feeling to my old friend, I think I lose my motivation to do anything.
So today I finished the letter to my Japanese friend, Yuki, then I wrote the Song poem in calligraphy for her. Moreover, I replied to her 11 pages. I don't know why I have many words to tell her, perhaps I would like to let her know why our people are good at traditional chinese culture. All our people did in the past is because we want to make friends with Japanese. We know that Japanese worship the traditional chinese culture, then we learn it hard. And then same for American value. Well, I guess I have strong eager to tell Yuki is because these days a Turkish girl asked me many questions between chine and Taiwan. And then I thought of our people started to worship and learn the chinois culture because of Japanese. We don't want to be looked down but be respected. Since I learned how to write, my grandmother every day reminded me that I should have the nett handwriting, and then she would mention to Japanese period and how Japanese emphasis on hadwriting and etiquette.
Anyway, I hope she would come to Taiwan soon. Then I could take her around my city.

Turn right or turn left?

Since I came back to Taiwan, I started to think how to plan my summer schedule. Every time my schoolmates who major in German ask me when will I go to Germany, I cannot answer a certain timing.
Then my other friends and classmates ask me why not continue the master studying after graduation, they think they can get a good job if they have the master degree. Even my Mom asks me many times whether I prepare to study the master in this two years. My momther's friends also recommend me to study in the United States.
It made my heart struggles. Turn right is to United States to look something new. And turn left is what I look forward to. Originally I think I can arrange my schedule to visit as many Asian countries as I can in 3 years, then I will turn left to Europe and Arab countries.
Now the problem is more difficult. Since I knew a bunch of Japanese friends , they are the most enthusiastic Japanese I have ever seen, until now they every day tell me they miss me and hope we can meet again soon. Some also told me that they started to save money in order to come to Taiwan and see me again. This kind of behavior made me touched. I secretly decided to cancel plans for Singapore and Hong Kong in this year, in this way, I could have enough time to go to Japan and see them again. At the same time, I think if I go to Japan, I should join a study tour and stay there at least a month would be better. I still not tell my thought to my friends, they would think I am too emotional. They would think what if I spend the same budget, I should go to Germany.
So now I am like the stitch photo as above.

Birthday

This year I am happy that my birthday still celebrate in Taiwan. And today my Mom did the crazy thing to queue in order to buy the bread which made by the World champion baker. Just because yesterday I told to my Mom that I wanted to find that baker in my city, and she found then spent a lot to buy for me.
The baker Wu-paochun, he is the pride of Taiwan. He won the silver medal in 2008 WorldCoupe Louise Lesaffre. Next he represented Taiwan to race 2010 LES MASTERS DE LA BOULANGERIE and he won the world champion in European-style bread group(Pain).
When he participated in the 2010 competition for "the national characteristics of bread", his used our local ingredients, such as, dried litchi, our aboriginal millet wine, organic rose petals with walnuts to make.
And now his bakery is located in my city. You also can check his website.
Thanks for my Mom, she is always kind to me. I remembered when I was 10, I wanted to own an accordion, then she booked an accordion and a three-quarters violin from my violin teacher. I still remember on that night rained heavily, she still parked her car and then off to buy the cake for me. Until I was 20, my Mom gave me a really big present. She showed me two pieces of paper to me, it meant she transferred to me an apartment ownership. Though she has a bad temper to complain my father was absent on my way to grow up, and she always says what if no my father, she would give me more and more. However, I think it's enough, because she is so great to me.
I also remember when I was around 4, my father took us to eat big dinner on that day, yet when we went back home, he shut the door of car to crush my nail accidentally. Because that day was sunday, I just could wait for next morning to see the doctor, and I mourned all night to my Mom. Perhaps every 5 minute I told to my Mom that I was painful, she didn't lose her temper to reply to me all night. And she has good remember to know all my friends even my dolls and toys. I still cannot believe that I am 23 already. Time flies that I am no longer a child, but I think I am always a child for my Mom.

Rainy and Unlucky Day

Some postcards via Singapore back to Taiwan, I found the post mark and the post sticker with Singapore. And I like this postcard as the impression of Hamilton.
January 28th, the 5th day I left Taiwan, and I got lost in the city of Hamilton then wandered two hours by Orbiter bus. Because my schoolmate almost cried to tell me that she didn't know how to go home, and then I took the bus with her and send her back first, after that I lost in the city. At the same time, it rained and I felt so cold on the bus. I also met 3 strange white girls to talk to me and then I found I was photographed. Until the bus has bus driver and me, he asked me where I want to go. Then we started chatting for more than half hour. Thankfully, Kiwi's cashiers and bus drivers are nice to me. So I feel warm. However, I felt tired when I went back home, Shazz' cat also warmed my whacked heart.

The starry night

Becuase I didn't plan to visit the Waitomo caves, therefore I bought a postcard to appreciate the view.
The coversation I had with my homestay mother, Shazz, is very deep. We talked about her family, dream and life. She tore several times when she mentioned her family. And she also likes to watch the starry night, same as me. I usually stare the stars at night. On that night, my homestay boarding called me out to watch the starry night. It's the most beautiful I ever seen, because they have lower houses and no light pollution. Moreover, Southern Cross is located in Southern Hemisphere only. Finally I saw the Southern Cross.

27th of January

Haiz~ I didn't take the hot airballoon in Hamilton. Because I wasted many days in Hamilton and Japanese students cannot change the date for me. So sad, but I will try many outdoor activities later.
And I draw the Uni of Waikato on my postcard. The campus is big and I got lost several times here.

The morning time I have to go to the TTH Houses 4 to take my course.

對不起

此刻
我只想說幾句中文
不想讓人知道我的心事
誰的誰
我不能喜歡上誰
只因我必須為台灣做點什麼
我不能耽擱
任何無助於台灣的事情上
這個國家弱勢的讓我必須學會獨立
如此
我才可以保護這麼弱勢的國家
再怎樣
我都深深的愛著這個國家
古錐憨厚的蕃薯島民
以及所有的一切
我還想去阿拉伯國家闖闖
因為我要替台灣用經濟當籌碼換取政治空間
這是我心底最深的願望
然後再去非洲國家
把台灣種在非洲這塊土地上
就算要去以色列這樣不平靜的國度去取經
我也願意
因為一切
都是為了台灣
我所深愛的母親
我只能選擇遺忘誰

Second Day

The second day, we ate the first breakfast in New Zealand. I think I am lucky to find the scrambled eggs as my principal food. I love eggs only without bread. But what if I can eat steamed eggs, I will be more happy than scrambled eggs.
So the postcard is the city for Auckland, it's a city of sails, and after that I also had a trip in Auckland for two days and one night. I personally like Auckland more than Hamilton I live.
Because this is the first day I saw a flock of sheep and a herd of cattle, therefore I took my postcard to draw when I on the way in bus. As for my schoolmates, they still crazy praised how beautiful sheep and cattle are, and they photographed the same views for 2 hours. Okay, I admit I am abnormal. I really want to ask them that they can think the ground is beautiful, but can they three stop saying that Taiwan's view are ugly? The differences are the color of green, here is light green for ground, and Taiwan is emerald green for many mountains. They don't cherish the mountains in Taiwan but think all foreign things are better than Taiwan. I really want to ignore them.
About this postcard, it has a story. Because I didn't know that there are the domestic and international stamps in New Zealand. I bought the domestic stamps to paste it on my postcard and then sent it into the mail box. I even went to the post office to ask their people how to deal with this problem, they just replied to me it depends. Perhaps this postcard would be lost in New Zealand. Fortunatelly, it came back to Taiwan in my home now.

The first night I stayed at hotel

The first night I arrived at Auckland and then stayed at the hotel. All were tired and just wanted to take a shower at that time, and I wrote a postcard to me when they were eating instant noodle and shower time. My schoolmates laughed at me that I do really love buying postcards. It's true.
Because I only had the 15 minutes to finish the postcard, and then my schoolmates turned off the light, I only wrote to myself and another one has sent to Japan. I feel sorry that I draw so ugly for my stitch doll. Sorry, don't bite me when I sleep, stitch.

The thrilling experience in NZ

I still remember that date is on 6th Febuary and on Sunday morning. Originally I planed the tight plan, Friday night I took the night bus to Wellington from Hamilton, and then Saturday night I would take night bus from Wellington to Auckland, in this way, I would pass by Hamilton then arrive to Auckland at 7:00 A.M. However, my taiwaner schoolmate's homestay boarding made me cancle the original plan. The silly thing is that my taianwer schoolmate blamed me and were angry at me because of her boarding. She is so selfish, because of her, I arrived to Hamilton from Wellington at 4:30 A.M. and we just could stay in BurgerKing until 6:30 A.M., then I took the Orbiter bus to back my home around 7:00 A.M. After that I faced the thrilling thing. Every time I thought of this event, I have a lot of dissatisfaction with her.
When I walked on the half way to my home, there was a white guy said "hello" to me, and then I also replied to him "hello". Yet I didn't notice that he held the bottle on his hand, then he had a grim face to say "come here, come here". Then I found he was drunk at that time. I kept walking and ignored him, but he came to me quickly and kept saying. I admitted at that moment I was nervous, but I had to pretend to calm. So I shouted him loudly with the fierce eyes, "I will call the police." Moreoever, I held my cell phone to show him. Then he revealed the fear and said "nonono". Even he ran away, it was still shocked me.
Before this event, my homestay boarding, Shazz, had told to me because I was new there, and the people would notice me specially. And she also warned me that the area behind our house is very dangerous to go. However, my neighbor Mai lives in the dangerous area Shazz warned me. So that's why I insisted to walk to her home at morning as possible, and we walked together to take the bus to the campus.
In New Zealand, I used to take care of my friends, whatever Taiwaner students or Japanese student group. When my Japanese friends told to me that is difficult to them in my class, and then I told to them that they could ask me anytime if they cannot understand what teachers mean. When teacher asked them questions and they didn't know how to answer, I would send them note to answer or help them to answer questions. When they were badly bitten by mosquito, I have the medicine to help them.
After this trip, I think my Mom is right. She used to worry that she cannot protect me and take care of me if I go abroad, and she always thinks I am coward, therefore she trained my guts since I was little. This time I didn't cry when I was in danger. On the contrary, I had to appease the emotions of other Taiwaner. All in all, I thank my mother gave me strict education.

My Habit

Every night I used to take a walk around half hour in my city, and it's really safe to walk outside at night unlike New Zealand. Because I promised Mai that I will improve Japanese ability to chat with her, I think this semester I will learn Japanese by myself. And when I took a walk nearby my home, I also went to the bookstore to choose a good book to improve Japanese conversation. The only good way I think is to remember the short sentence every day. Because I seldom watch the drama or listen to the songs more than twice to learn. I have no patience for playing online game, watching the dramas online and listening to the pop songs specially. In this way I will directly give up. But I like to read the real books. That's why.
Besides that, I also chose the Viet course at my university. I think it's a challenge that I need to improve two langauges at the same time. And now I also want to set on Thursday as velo day for me. I think it would be a good way to love my city.
Since I tried the bungy jumping, I feel that I am full of courage and power now. In addition, I want to challenge more. For example, I would like to try water motorcycle in Taiwan. And I think of the good ways to show my love of Taiwan are climbing all mountains in Taiwan and sailing around the Taiwan by canoe. I am still thinking more good and creative ways to love my land.
