Taiwan news

I heard a terrible thing from my Taiwanese friends. Two trains clashed the day before yesterday. According to the news announcer, there were 5 people died and about 17 pepole hurt. That's really tragic to hear that. You know one of the 5 people she will get married tomorrow and wait her fiance. Her family is very sad deeply. I think nobody can take that.

On the other hand, there is a TV show very popular now in Taiwan. It's called Walk of Fame. My sister told me about this. I didn't watch it before and I still don't know what it is so far. My sister said my brother you are really disconnected with Taiwan. Ha......==

I know there are so many things happened in Taiwan.Today I use the Internet to contact with my parents. I think this is the most advantage because you don't need to pay. They were very delighted and we use the video telephone.

I wish Taiwan is getting better. God bless Taiwan.

IEP Course

So many friends were graduated recently and I all felt very surprised to know that. "You will graduate this friday? I just know you?!" This sentence I often speak to them in the past days. It's really like the passer-by. You can see many students just graduate and many new students enter. When I entered the military system, I learned one thing that was you must remembered friends' or partners' names because this is respect. In Langports, everday you will see so many new faces. My method is asking their mobile numbers and inputting the names. I think that is a good idea because you know how to spell and pronounce.

Next week I will change my class again. That course is about the IELTS and the university papers. Yesterday I just sign a contract the content is you cannot speak Language unless English. You cannot have a holiday unless the Weelend....etc. I feel a little bie nervous. I hope taht will let me test the IELTS easier. Goodluck to myself and my friends. I think if I enter the IEP course, you will see me on Line less. My friend told me so many things were happened in Taiwan so god bless Taiwan, too.

Lone Pine ZOO

Today is Queen's Birthday so I get a holiday. Recalling these past days, I think that is very well to let me be flexible. Parties and travelling, those really let me close to my new friends. My Taiwanese friend ,賴皮, called me yesterday and wanted to know if I am ok now. I'm so happy because he came to Australia before and he always gives me a lot of suggestions. I hope he can come to Austrlia again.

The first time to dance in the party. You never worry about you can not dance no body care because you come here just want to release. Despite that you can see the Latin Americans they are dancer inborn. Everybody was drinking, conversation and dancing. Tired but joyful.

So many students graduated last Friday. AYAKA,SATOMI and Joeng I just know you. Time passes quickly I think it is very quick to me to graduate. The celebration tonight, I also met a lot of new friends. I hope we are not just passers-by, keep in touch,please.

The Lone Pine Zoo was my first to see many animals aren't closed in the cage even you can touch them especially kangaroos. We saw many shows that day include eagle hunting and sheep dog shows and many animals you never see before. I got many beautiful pictures if you want you can click my Album.

I passed the test and prepare into the IEP course next week. I feel last week it really let me relax because the more different and difficult challenge is waiting for me.

The Weekend's Plans

In the past two days, I took my new homemates to go around the city. They come from Hong Kong and are preparing to study at QUT. They are very young, I feel......old.

The first day, I took the bus to State Library of Queensland because they wanted to get on the Internet. Late we went to take the City Cat to QUT and City Gardens. When we were in the Taiwanese Market, I met my friend unexpectly. I spoke pleasurably with her in Chinese for a while.

On Sunday, I went to Toombul with my friends. I invited my homemates and we took the train to the city. However we had to get the bus from Toombul to the DFO, the biggest market in Brisbane. I bought sandals and my homemates spent a lot of money on clothes and pants. The market,DFO,is really enormous and there are a lot of name-brands. I thought everyone all bought the product what they wanted. What a magnificent day. However I still have to economize on shopping and can't be extravagant in Australia.

Gaps

I feel I have already lived in Australia for almost one month. In the past days I always had new experiences such as visiting some places by myself, going to play basketball with many people the other countries and gradually finding new friends.

However I consider that there are many gaps between us and still we have no idea about how we stride across them. For example, although we can practice with each other in English but we still have gaps, Korean groups, Japanese groups.Sometimes I thought I was so stubborn that I can not join either Japanese groups, Korean groups or Taiwanese groups because I insist on speaking English. Too many countries have too many cultures. Despite that I feel alone in Australia but going to the QUT is my target. I thought we could open our minds. If we had bad feelings just talking will help. I think conversation is only one way to melt our prejudice and to build a bridge between us.
