Merry Christmas

My club friends and I have a Hotpot party to celebrat Christmas.
I planned this party. In addition to eating, we also prepared some activities.
To make the party perfect, we also make some decoration like the Christmas wreath turns which was made by paper. Moreover, we spent at least 4 hours making the decoration.
Before starting the party, we were busy. Some washed the vagetable; others decorated
the place.Still others cooked the rice balls.
One hour latter, we started our party. We ate and listened to our club instuctor.
He brought some gifts and said something to inspire us. Next program was that club cadres reported and leaders reported the activities this symester. Then the club leader indroduced
the activities next semester. An important club senior who graduated from the university
brought wine, vodka. We cheered, took photos, and drank. We also played a game.If some one
lost the game, he must drank one more cup of wine. A girl lost, but she asked a boy, Little orange to drink for her.
Some people's faces turned red after they got drunk. So did I, because the wine contains 40 percent alc0hal.
Then we started to change our gifts. It was one the main activities. Changing gifts become a kind of tradition of my club. I got a box of chocolate. Some one got a lollipop-shaped soap.

We all had fun and enjoyed the hotpot.

I-LAND

Last Saturday Mom and I took train to I-Land, my hometown in the morning.
Wnen we arrived Taochen, it's almost 12. Mom bought the famous Fu-Long lunchboxes,
and we had lunch on the train. Mom said that she have not have Fu-Long lunchboxes for a long
time. Ithink it's a kind of memerable flavor. Grandpa, mom's fother picked us home and he rode
a scooter. We stayed at grandpa's home util 3,and then mom and I went to visit my mom's grandma, my mom's mom's mom. We bought something for her before we went to her home. I have not seen her for a long time, and she was very happy when we got her home. I felt happy too. She's 83 old, but she's still healthy. We went home on 4:30. I thought I must gain 1 kilo during because I ate a lot of food. My uncle, mom's junior brother,and aunt, his wife and their daughters, my cusi0n went home. I like my cusi0n. They are so cute and innocent.
On Sunday, we went to Jiaosi by scooter, I lived there when I was a child. I visited my grandma, dad's mom. She gave us pears and persimmon. We chatted with my relatives for a while. Then we went to Taochen. My uncle took us to I-Land Hospital. We saw a relative, who was in intensive care unit. She was in a coma after she fell on the ground and hurt her head.
We were sad to heard that. I hope she can rcover soon. Her sons, daughter, and grandsons all worried about her. She's a kind elder and I respect her.
We went to my uncle's new house to have lunch. We watched a movie and I taught my cusion singing songs.
We took train home, Dajia on 6:47pm.

I Visited Tai－nan

I visited Tainan with my friends , MMA members,last Saturday and Sunday.

We all had good time! We rented 10 scooters there and started our trip.

Tainan is worth visiting because of those historical buildings.

I fell in love with Tainan. It seems that every building there has rich history.

We visited the Eternal Golden Castle, the Chikan Tower,the Anping Fort,

and the Tainan Confucius Temple. Those old buildings are really attractive.

In addition, Tainan is famous for the tasty snacks. We ate Eel Noodles, Tofu Pudding,

Coffin Toast, fried oyster,oyster rolls, and Dong-Gua Tea ...etc.

I like the Coffin Toast the most, because it combines soup and toast.

And the I like oyster rolls, because I like seafood very much.

I recommend this, and I will want to try it again.

Tainan is a good place that I want to visit again.

Visit Lugang

Last Friday , Monica said that she will got to Lugang next Monday.
She visited Wenkai Academy Temple and took photos for her paper.
She hoped some one can go with her.
I accepted her invitation without hesitation because I have been long for visiting there.
Lugang is famous for historic spots and tasty snack.
Althuogh I just stayed Lugang for the whole afternoon, I think that I like this place full of antique atmospere.
Lugang had been a prosperous city and now we can see the historic buildings like academic temple.
Monica and I both starved that day, so we found a famous store for steamed buns with stuffing after we got off the bus. The buns is really delicious but not cheap.
A bun could not made me full so we went to have shrimp ball soup with noodles.
I recommend the shrimp balls. The flavor is good
and it made people want to order again.
We started to find Wenkai Academy Temple after we were full.
We were not familiar with this place so we asked some people for direction.
Finally, We found the place. This place is amazing, a at least one-hundred-year-old building.
I really appreciated the historic building because it tells descendents the history.
It is a ''live'' material to teach history, and we can know the life in ''ancient'' time.
I hope some day I can spend a day visiting Lugang again.
It worth a visit.

fish pictures

I searched for some fishes pictures for the presentation on next Tuesday.

Most pictures are Giant fish and human with smile.

It exaggerated how big the fish they caught was.

I thought of how would the fish think. I gues they felt shamed and angry.

It seems that it's a ''big deal'' to catch a fish for fisher.

In other word, their purpose is showing off.

If this behavior showing off hurts fish's ''self-respect'' than eating them?

However, I enjoy delicious seafood.

I was surprised by giant wild fish, because they must live for a so long time

to grow in such ''size.''

Maybe, there is no limitation for their ''size.''

Being a fish living in the ocean maybe is a happy thing.

I appreciate the ocean,because it offers food and habitates for those marine creatures.

It is catfish.

It is tuna.

It is salmon.

Joy and we dated at ''Secret of Greece''

Yesterday Joy, Yvette,Jessica,Jenifer,Florance and I went to a restaurant to celabrate Joy's birthday.

The restaurant called ''Secret of Greece'' in chinese is famous for its authentic Greek dishes.

When I entered this place, I was imprssed by its decoration.

It seems that I was in Greece at the moment.

It can be said that it's a blue and whit world.In addtion, I like the waitress's exotic dress.At begging, we ''VISITED'' the restaurant casually. Wow! I felt comfortable there because

the decoration adds warmth to the place. For inctance, there is a cussion on every chair.

I was relaxed to have meal at such wonderful dining environment.

I ordered a exotic dish which loooks like rice but was made by flour.

I couldn't describe the dish due to its feel is so special.

I was full but I didn't finish it. We sang the song after we finished our meals.

Joy made wishes and wear a funny hat with fake candles.

Yvette and Jenifer wear the flower-shaped hat and they looks really like two ''flowers''.

We had fun yesterdat at ''Secret of Greece''.

It's a mess!

The ex-president was detained on corruption charges yesterday. I seldom watch TV, but I

watched TV to catch news yesterday and today. Wow!It's really a mess, and most of news

chennels were reported about Chen Shui-bian. Some people said it's bum rap when their crimes

invoving money like embezzelment, or an alleged insider trading. I don't know who is right,and I

don't trust the media,either.MAYBE, people pretend that they are not guilty so they

intentionally say that the jurisdiction is unfair. In addition, there is another piece of news. A girl

who had joined a chennel calledSuper Idol suicided. My roommates discussed about that, and

one told me that Taiwan is going to blow up! No matter how mess it is now, I just want to care

more about my mid-term exam like most Taiwanese care if they can make a living.
