(7) Howard's Wedding

Howard & me

     Yesterday was the most important day for one of my best friends, Howard. Yes, he got married and he is the first one who got married among my good friends. In order to send our greetings and love to him, other than giving red envelopes to Howard, we decided to make a lovely wedding cake on our own. The wedding was held in a farmland in central of Taiwan, which is a remote but romantic place for having a wedding party. When seeing the new couple walking slowly into the lobby, my heart was touched by the holy and beautiful moment. Believably, they will live happily ever after like Micky and Minnie.

(6) My Favorite Cartoon Character Doraemon

     

     Doraemon, a well-known cartoon character, is a robotic cat. At the beginning, the same as other robotic cats, Doraemon’s outward appearance was shiningly yellow. However, one day when he was taking a nap, his ears were bitten by a big black rat. Because of suffering deeply depression of his broken ears, which became two pieces of cheese with several holes, Doraemon couldn’t help but crying for a couple of days. To his shock, the color of his outward kept fading and then was dyed into blue by his tears. As an old saying goes, ”Troubles rarely come singly,” there was no practical ways to fix Doraemon’s ears; as a result, he had no choice but cutting the broken ears. In addition, when playing a game called “rock, paper, scissors,” Doraemon is always the loser. The result attributes to his globular hands, so that the only one he can show is “rock” in the game. Nonetheless, the “small imperfect” didn’t damage the popularity of Doraemon among fans all over the world. People love Doraemon’s big globular head, cherry-red nose and tail; chubby figure like a beer barrel, and sunny smile.

Hyeonseo Lee

      Few days ago, in order to look for the materials for English class, I watched a film about a young lady's speech in Ted. Her name is Hyeonseo Lee, who succeed in escaping from North Korea and surviving in China. She is one of the bravest girl i have ever known. In the beginning, she thought that her country is the best one all over the world until witnessing the people were suffering. As a result, she left for China when she was only 14 years old. As an illegal immigrant, it was not only difficult but also dangerous. Once her identity is found, she would be sent back to North Korea. Therefore, she lived under horror. Nevertheless, she didn't give up and even brought all her families out of North Korea eventually. She said she didn't resent her country; just felt sad about North Koreans. In the end of the speech, she thanked the people helping North Koreans escape from the damages. She believed that in the future more and more North Koreans will succeed in different fields, even in the Ted Stage.

(4) Hyeonseo Lee part 1

     During recent days, the news of  North Korea keeps occupying the head line. After North Korea stated that " the war may break out any time," United States, Japan, especially South Korea keep their eyes on the next step of North Korea. The tie between North and South Korea already cut. Meanwhile, the provocative actions from North Korea, such as setting up the missiles and resettling the place of missiles, already triggered severe tension in east Asia.
     Personally, I totally agree that North Korea is one of the most irrational countries in the planet. I have heard about several stories about North Koreans' escape from their country due to wars, famine, and persecution.
   

(3) Jet Lag

Dear my friend,

     I know it's difficult to believe; however, I hardly cannot memorize your face now. How long have we not to chat with each other? More than one month. I guess. I don't exactly know why you don't connect with us. My rationality insist on looking for tons of excuses to explain your disappearance. Nonetheless, my heart can't help but feeling angry with you. The main reason is that you haven't explained "the misunderstanding." How can you ignore that and then put it away?
      Several friends said that i should take initiative action, talking you my feelings and thoughts. Yes. I really want it. But, it is still hard once considering long distance and jet lag. My heart is like the lyrics of "jet lag" describing:

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset

      Although the condition of the song is different form mine, i also suffer emotional jet lag. What can I do? The only way for me is to pray and wait the coming of our coincident meet, isn't it?

     Romantic cherries, polite citizens, and clean cities are three top specialties of Japan. According to the report released by Ministry of Transportation, over 1.56 million Taiwanese visited Japan in 2012. Obviously,   taking a trip to Japan is a hit choice for Taiwanese, including me. Compared to other countries in Asia, the weather in Japan is more comfortable; in addition, there are many areas, begin worth visiting, in Japan. Take its capital, Tokyo, for example, except for delicious food, Tokyo is known as its countless shopping malls,  traditional temples, and Disney Theme Park. In the west of Japan, Osaka is the biggest city, which is famous for its hospitality, the unique food, Takoyaki, and cheap make- up stores.
