【Day 6】late for class+ abscent teacher+ ceramics museum+ huge crepes+ calligraphy

Today was amazing.

I was late for the morning class. Although I was not the only peoson to be late for class, it was still embrassing.

The first lecture was about our experimental design. The professor introduced method like how you match your testable prediction with hypothesis. It's all about logical things which I felt soooooo hard to understand. It's interesting,though.

For the second lecture, we went to the agricultural exipition house on camous instead, cuz the prefessor was not able to made it. Jack said two students of that preffessot died in a car accident she has deal with it. That's sooosad.Appreciate the time and people beside when you are alive.

The trip to the ceramics museum was great!!! I like doing DIY things!!! We made ceramics with clay by ourselves. I made a square plate with a flower on it! It's nice, I like my masterpiece hahahah ~~~

me and my masterpiece!!!

  The most amazing part of the day is when we went to the student resturant to have dinner. We found the huge crepes and I got a crepe with a lot of mango and ice cream, it is only 68 NT$!!! That's super huge and super cheap and super delicious!!!!

Haha!! it's us and our super huge crepes!!

 Then, during the caliigrapy class, I learned to write mytraditional Chinese name with a brush!! Show you the pic later~~~

Day 5. Yangming Mountain+ hot spring museum+ 台大第一腿+ pool+ gossip time

Today is a big hot sunny day. What a "perfect" day for higking!!!! I get tan after a one-day-exposure under the sun, tired but happy.

Yangming mountain is the highest and most beautiful mountain in Taiwan. We went to Mt. Qixing today. It is the highest peak of Yangmingshan, which elevation is over 1000km. It took us 3 hours to get to the top of Mount Qixing. We walk along the trails to go up. The burning sun is right above us.
Everytime when we encountered special plants or insects, we stoped. The professors explained carefully to us of the plants and insects. I felt a bit depressed when they talk the things I don't know. espacially the knowledg I am supposted to know cuz I learned before at school. I felt that I have so much things still need to learn about forestry.

This is what I learned today:-Yangming mountain is affected by Northe-east Monsoom in winter, so it is very cold in winter.
- the tree in Yangming mountain are broadleaf-trees but the leafs are not as these from temperate area.(we are in sub-tropic and close to the tropic, this is because the water can circulate better inside the leaf.
- it is a volcanic mountain.
- the acid gas near the crater is yeallow and prohibit the growing of bamboo cuz is to acid.
- the root of 栲树 is good for ....forget the name. --
-we saw Janpese Cedar! The were planted for over80 years. The can be used as pole so Janpanese planted a lot of them but doesn't grow very well on the mountain.

The wind on the top of the mountain is strong. I wasalmost blew away~~~

The hot spring museum is good but not as good as the top of the mountain.

Today is an extremly exhausting day because I did't get enough sleep these days. too excited so that stay up late to enjoy my life in Taiwan.

We head back early tonight and go play pool and table tennis. We also disucuss gossip. explore everyone's love story! And we have a talk show now named "Patient Family"for people who what to share their love stories with us! Hahah, tha't soooomuch fun!!!

Good night!

Day 4, Ocean museum+ sea shore+ bleeding leg+biking tour+night market

Today is no doubt another huge happy day!

Althouth I don't like sea animals, although I was hurt on my leg, although I spend lots of money in the night market, although I ate a lot at night and may gain weight tomorrow!!Although...... Today is still a huge happy day!!!!

If you see this journal, I want to tell you how much I love you~~~Hahahah~~~you are so cute and powerfullllllll~~~~ I didn't expect that your small body is so powerful to bike me around the market!!!!!!! You don't know how much fun I had when I sat on the back of your bike and chatting with you and 圣谕, as well as saw the beautiful view of Taipei~~ Wooooaaaaaa~~I only saw such kind of vivid "Taiwan style"life  in movies~~ That's sooooofeels like 《海角七号》 （actually I don't rememmber if  海角七号 has such kind of scendary. but whatever, We are in Taipei!!!! It's already romantic!!!!!!~~~

Well, I hope there is no problem if I write my journal in this way~~~~~
Haha, will share more stuff with you guys~ have a good night!

Day 3. harvesting+long lectures+ forg watching

Well, it is already the 4th day, again, I didn't finish my journal yesterday, so, a lot of work need to be done today....

Oh....no I don't remember what we did yesterday. I mean everyday is so amazing. it is hard to remember everthing after having another good day!
 I always spend all of my time and energy to enjoy my wonderful life in Taiwan, I really don't want to go back dorm unless I am too tied to move. So everytime when I sit down in front my laptop, get start to  write the journal, my head is empty and I want to do nothing but sleep.

recalling my memory......

Ok, here we go~~~
The work in the farm yesterday was wonderful. Although it was a big sunny day, I was alreaday sweating before getting to work, everyone was happy and excited.(I am always excited here in Taiwan)
The hat is cute~~ We can't help to taking photos of ourselves before the harvesting.
here is one~Oooops, the computer doesn't work. maybe post it later.

The machine we used to collect rice is hard to control. The teacher did it easily but it was not that easy to turn the wheel when you do it yourself.

The lectures are kinda of boring(Haha, am I too honest by saying that...well....
I mean I think study in the field is so much better than stay in classroom.
We are in Taiwan, I just want to go outside, eventhough it is hot out of the building.

Yinjie and I went to have "大肠包小肠" before the frog watching.
大肠包小肠 always show up in my dream when I decided to go to Taiwan. so we encounetered the small booth on the street selling “大肠包小肠” , you can imagine how excited i was..it's like,,,dreams come true!!!Hahaha~~~

The night with frogs snake and lizard was greeaeaeaeaeaet!!! It reminded my one monthe ago when I in Wuyishang,Fujian Provience, China. We went herping evernight with an herpoligists. That's when I became fond of walking in the dark to find those wonderful animals at night!

Well, cherish what you are having now. I know one month later, I would miss this group of people and all the things we done in Twaiwan~~~

【Day 2】

Oh, god I'm sleepy...I know I have to finish this today and I know I should have started eariler....Oh,god! no idea what I am writing...there must be a lot of grammar mistakes...I know how bad my English writing is.....
sure, start now...

Today is an amazing day.
I mean the whole day was amazing and my walk after dinner was amazing too!!
We went to the school gallery. it is nice to know the history of NTU and some intresting stories about the school.The game made me tired but it was really intresting. we got familiar with each other. I begin to love this place now.

The most impressive part is my experiences during the walk after dinner.
It was still early when Hulda and I finished our shopping in Watsons.I went back dorm alone and decided to take a walk by myself. I took my camera with me, hoping to catch some beautiful night view of Taipei.Then I met a guy in the underpass. He is a German and he is a street artist. He was sellin his own drawings printed on small cards in the underpass. I went to talk to him and something intresting just happend....will continue tomorrow. I am about to fall asleep now....
Good night~ 

Hey, I'm in Taiwan.【Day 1】

Ok,I have to write this jounal... Today is actually the second day and I didn't write it yesterday...so... I decided to do two now. I wish i could write in detail to record my wonderful life here, so that I can show off to my friends when go back and make them jealous! HAHA!!!!

I was excited and even a little bit nervous before this program started. I have imagined Taiwan for many times before comming here.What is it look like? What the people look like? Will the Taiwanese consider themselves Chinese? Are they actually act like what they are in the Taiwan TV dramas? Will they speak in Taiwan accenct....? What are the food like? Night market? Superstars? Beautiful girls and cute boys on the street???? I was curious about Taiwan and was really looking forward to explore this new place...and...finally,here I am!!!!!

The first day was great!
We got to know each other. Everyone looks soooooooodifferent from the pictures!
I wish I could remmember everyone's name but I am really bad at remmembering names. so...sorry guys, for these that hard for me to remmember.

Everyone is nice though. people in this team are from different places which makes the group so diverse!I especially impressed by Hulda~ sweet girl just like the girls in the Taiwanese TV drammas~~~~~adorable,energetic,and happy~~~~~Anyway, I am really happy to know everyone and looking forward to have a great time with you in the following one month!!!
