A trip to Kaohsiung

                                       A trip to Kaohsiung    2020.01.05

這個周末，我跟諭慈(Erica)一起去高雄玩，我們搭火車和捷運，陪著媽媽去做瑜珈，最後我們還吃了素食的燒烤，謝謝諭慈媽媽帶我們出門還幫我們拍照。

      Erica and I went to Kaohsiung, a beautiful city in southern Taiwan. Kaohsiung is home to several popular visitor sites, including the Love River, Shoushan (Mt. Shou), Xiziwan Bay, Lotus Pond, Qijin, and the Old City of Zuoying. It also is an ethnic melting pot, joining Hokkien and Hakka communities, the Pingpu, Tsou, Rukai, Bunun, and Paiwan indigenous tribes, and military community culture. Kaohsiung also offers scenic mountains, ocean views, and rivers, as well as a port, cultural, and historic attractions. Visitors to the city can experience the beauty of nature and savor fine cuisine, or head to the nearby Hakka village of Meinong to experience traditional oil paper umbrella art. The Neimen Songjiang Battle Array and the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist monastery in Dashu further add to the ethnic richness of Kaohsiung. Taiwan's biggest mall and well-known night markets complete the scene for a thoroughly satisfying trip.

     In the beginning, we took the train to Kaohsiung and then we transfer MRT to our destination. Erica's mother attended a yogurt class in Kaohsiung. After taking the yogurt class, we ate a lot of vegetarian barbecue. We took a lot of pictures there. It was so fun. 

A mini-concert in Wunsian

                                 A mini-concert in Wunsian     2020.01.17

      Today I was so excited to join a Chinese music mini-concert at school. We have been practiced differently Chinese instruments in this semester. We can choose to participate in the Erhu club, bamboo flute club, or moon guitar club. Some of the kids can play well after the four months curriculum. Ruby told me about the story of the moon guitar. It sounded more gentle than the guitar. They played Christmas carol with it. It was very cute. Then Tina said more about the erhu instrument. It's a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, sometimes it was known as a Chinese violin. They played some Taiwan folk songs. It was so cool to hear local music. Lastly, all of them have an ensemble. Mat and Ting were with me to listen to the beautiful melody in the end.

A tour to Taiwan's temple and church

 A tour to Taiwan's temple and church      2019.12.07


     I got up at 4 A.M. in the early morning. Nick and his family brought me to a traditional temple in the north of Tainan city. They also sent me a red amulet to wear on my tail. People here believe it would protect kids against evil, disease or unhappiness. I felt so blessed! Besides, we went to a well-know glasses high heel church in Budai harbor in Chaiyi city. It is a giant shoe church for the wedding. We took so many photos there. And I had my first taste of yummy oyster noodles. What a wonderful weekend.

A visit to Chi Mei Museum

                            A visit to Chi-Mei Museum      2020.01.01

     I went to the Chi Mei museum again on the first day of 2020!  This time I had a great picnic with Iris's family. We chattered and played games. I was enjoyed to stay in the little woods. I even played traditional music for others. Everyone was surprised and loved the melody. We also found out a big music event poster -CATS. Looking forward to being in the music event someday! Then Iris showed me the sushi store in Taiwan. Sushi will be brought out to you on a conveyor belt. People grab the sushi they like. It 's yummy and fun to have sushi here.

We are little farmers.

 We are little farmers      2019.10.02~12.23

     We planted corn seeds on the farm at our school. Everyone was so excited to put the tiny corn seeds into the dust.  We planted our corn without any chemical pesticides. Therefore we need to water it and mow grasses on our own in the three months. We had fun to water and mow grasses on our tiny farm. We were so happy to have the corn harvest !! Of course, they tasted so yummy !!

A fun Science Experiment

                       A  fun Science Experiment in Class 2019. 01.10

考試完，老師讓我們做有關溶解的實驗，就是結晶。首先將明礬倒入熱水中，攪拌到看得到明礬的沉殿物，然後將毛根折出我們自己想要的形狀，再將毛根放入熱水裡，然後就是等待了，希望明天實驗可以成功。

     After the final examination, we did a very fun science experiment concerning the ‘dissolving of substances.' In the beginning, we put potassium alum into hot water and then stirred for a while. We saw some precipitant in the bottom of the cup. Secondly, we folded the wool stick into different shapes that we loved. Then, put the wool stick into hot water. We will have to wait a long time to see what is going on. I hope our experiment will be successful!
