Field trip


 I visted the Craft Museum. The museum guide lady was very nice, willing to show us around and answer any of our questions. We've been introduced to the Art of Tea. There were various kinds of tea pots, as well as the other tools.  


Beacuse of the expo was about tea. The suvinior store has plenty of tea products. I bought a cup mat with a "Goblin-dog"(狗怪) on it. Taiwan is not famous for fairy-tales or elves. In fact this "Goblin-dog" is orgin from Taiwanese. It means "freak" in our language. There are other kinds of cup mats. Such as the "Belly beast"(巴豆妖), which the Taiwanese meaning is "Humgry".


I also went to visit the Provincial Consultative Council. I'm not interest in politics and modern history, I personally think this place was very boring.

Life

  For me, life is made up of three colors - red, yellow and blue. Apart from these three raw colors, there are also two kinds of elements that compose our life, light and darkness.

  We were all born like a bucket of pure white paint. When we first bathed under the bright yellow sunshine, our skin turned red and pink. As we saw sapphires pouring down from the murky grey clouds up in the sky, a blue gloomy shadow came and shrouded us. While the muddy ground dried out by the warm sun, a splendid rainbow came out from the other side of the sky-blue sky. When we first tasted sickness, we took pills in green and purple. The experience of having friends was like eating a sweet and sour orange, which we sometimes get tired of but never get rid of. We became gravely brave to cross seven seas in seven colors for the sake of staying next to our lovers. When grey hair started coming out from our jaws, we finally realize that the Dark Knight brings darkness and nightfall at the end of the day as well as the limit line of our life-span. The aftertaste of the memories was just like tasting fruity, colorful gummy bears, as if we were still six years old. Then we all turned into the same color as the soil and joined into part of the mother Earth. Life after life, just like the sun goes up and down at the dawn and dusk, day after day.

  Life is really something, full of meanings and very interesting. Treasure your life and you may be as colorful as you like.
