Go to the Beach

This was my sencond Saturday in Taiwan. With the enthusiasm of Esther, we took an plan to the beach in this morning.
Start at about 9 o'clock, walked from Chung Sheng Hall to the main gate of the university, all of us were excited in this trip.

The bus caught us in the Chung Sheng Hall, it was a small bus which was exactly enough for the number of us. And we started the trip. I sit beside Jeremy, he wore a dark glasses as a gangster.

Because I raised my hand to capture, so Matt was posing.


Through the way to the beach, I had seen so many of nice views and captured quickly some of them.

This is Taipei 101 seeing from a far distance.
And I enjoyed the picture bellow so much. Do you know who he is ? He seemed going to eat the tower.

Jeremy was tried to sleep.

There are some of beach views from our bus ...

The bus stopped for us to captures some of nice vies. Everybody left the bus and started posing.





























Thu took me a photograph with the rock which jutted out of the cave.

And this was a funny pictures of Ivan, Nick and Ari, the victim.

We also took a collective picture.

At last, we were arrival at the care park of the beach. We did not go to the beach immediately, we decided to walk around to a famous Temple (but I don't know its name).
After few minutes walking, we changed to walking by bicycles, we rented some of double and single bicycles. It cost 80$ for each of bicycle. I and Danny were in a double bicycle.
Unfortunately that our bicycle was broken after 10 minutes traveling, so we must stopped to solve the trouble.




And many of friends had went back to help us. The others were coming to the Temple.































Then Danny found a phone number to call someone to fix the bicycle, after about 15 minutes, we continued the travel.









I and Danny went into a underground trench which is about 3 km long. The base of the trench was made very careful.
Danny took a call and he said that it was a heavy rain at the other side of the trench.
When we were arrival to the other side of the trench, many people were stopped and been waiting by the rain. Group of Ari Esther and others were all wet, so we seem were lucky guys. Some of them were able to reach the target to see the Temple.


We backed to the start point, Danny proved to be strong, he supported continuously for me, so our bicycle were one of the first ones go out of the trench. We stopped in which had a lean-to and seats. The others were all arrival after that. Danny were be sick, so Nick gave him a Blue shirt to keep him warm. Most of us were worried to Danny because he has been good for everyone. We came back to where we had rented the bicycles, Danny and Durant, Pony were later. They wanted to care about Danny.
We came to the park and went to the Sea food restaurant. I bought a sandal for myself, it is pasted with Panda' pictures.

The sea food restaurant is very famous in Taiwan, and the price is not cheap to. It cost 200$ for each of us. But it was really strange and delicious, it included octopus, shrimp, shark, seaweed, ... and some of fish (but I didn't know the names).

After the lunch, we came back to the beach and booked the ticket to go into the beach. I did not bring the swimming clothes, so it was the big trouble.
I left my camera in my bag and put into Thu's bag. So we had not few captures.
I thought that I would not swim, but when I saw the sea I'd changed. I'd swum so much, until I feel cold. Ira brought the volleyball, so we played in the water. But the ball had been sweep away by the waves. Some of Taiwanese also came to the beach, but they did not swim a lot.
We captured some pictures on the sand.

After swimming, I walked around to find clothes to change for the wet one I was wearing. I chose one short with some sharks shapes. It looks so funny.
Because having time, I came into a 7-eleven to find a cup of coffee. I can see the 7-eleven stores everywhere in Taiwan. They are really convenient with 24/24 hours serving a day. I also chose a cake which was made from 1 fry-float plate and 1 fry-egg, it was not bad, that was enough for the dinner. So I came to the bus and wait, with Jeremy and Rick.

Waiting faces

In the way home, Jeremy made noise, I think that he was very tired.

The city in night was so beautiful, so I really wanted to capture it, but if I had turned on the flash, others would be awoken, so I did not capture anymore.

City in the night, not really clearly.

We were arrival at Chung Sheng Hall at nearly 21 o'clock, and said "goodbye" before coming back the the dorms. Some were dated to meet at 22h30 to go for Pool.
I had gone to play too, but I was lost among the street. It took me 1 and a half hour to find the way to the dorm. (I had to call Mr Cuong to know the way). It was funny that while I was lbeing lost, it rained. So I had to buy an umbrella for continuing. It cost 99$. It will not be a problem because we are going to LaLa mountain next morning.

Good night.

SOME THING TO SAY

Hello every body

Today is nearly the last day of the Business camp, so I have talked to Dr. Jih to got 10 minutes in the break time. Thu and I want to say some thing.

Before coming to Taiwan, we had thought so much because of our English and because of the current working. And at last, we decided to stop the work and join the course and it was really a right decision. Now I think that the different in language is not the trouble anymore because we are open and respect each other.

In Taiwan, we have seen many of traditional things, it’s really interesting such as Taipei 101, Night Market, Foods, your friendship, your way in development... , and we want to discover more if we have more time. Thanks a lot for those.

It is so difficult for me to talk and listen at the same time. I am trying my best. These days are very interesting. This course is a helpful experience for me. When we come back to Vietnam, I will miss all of you so much. I hope to see you again in Vietnam. And we also want to introduce something about our country, Vietnam.

In the last century, Vietnam was famous as the country in which is broken by two wars. But Vietnam today is very different. Vietnam today is very lively, Vietnamese ’s people are very friendly and open hearted, like me. There are more and more high buildings and large factories. Our country each day is a new page. Vietnam in the map look like the “S” letter, we are very lucky since nature gives us many beautiful landscapes to travel. When coming to Vietnam, you can visit many of amazing views, eat many kinds of food that you have never eaten before. Vietnam food is very special. Can talk about VN such as the place of eating and drinking. If you know the way, everything is very cheap and don’t worry. In Viet Nam you can find and buy many things in many shops, you also can visit amusement park to play and have fun such as sport club, dancing, game, supermarket, and so on.

I can't tell you all interesting things in Vietnamese country. The clips below will help me to show you some typical things in Vietnam.

My new friends

GOOD FRIENDS.

Now I want to say about my new friends who came form other countries such as Taiwan, America, Lao, India,... They are all funny and kindly guys. I like them very much.

My roommate, Matt, a America, she is so tall. He is kind too. He has a girl friend who are waiting for him in America. They have talked every evening, just like I and Minh. I'd introduce him to my girl through the laptop camera. He has used his laptop most of the time out of the class. I think that he like searching some funny clips as his hobby, sometime I do either. Every morning, he get up and the first thing he said that "What is the time?", so I familiar with this. The day before yesterday I forgot that I brought the key, but he did not, so when I came back after a lately badminton, he was waiting for he in Rick and Jeremy's room. I'm so sorry, Matt. Because my E is not well, so it is a big problem in our talking. And I wish I can understand whatever he said at the end of the course. Thank you so much, Matt.

Nick, he is Laos. He has been living in America for many years, so I can speak E as the mother language. He usually slow down the speaking speed while speaking with me, so i can understand. He has a ipad, and he enjoys it so much. He usually bring it all the time so he can use it in the free time. He works very hard on his project. I have not any project, so I'm free most of the evening.

Ankit, an Indian. He had been in American for 2 years. His speaking is to short, so it is difficult to me to understand. He is a special guy, he can tell you about your future when seeing into your hand. He sometime wears a Indian traditional clothes but I don't know how to call its name. He is a vegetarian, so he has to find the vegetarian restaurant for each of meal, fortunately that there are some of vegetarian restaurant near the university, so finding these restaurants is not a big problem.
That was the pictures in the restaurant ... You can see that how glad Ankit was. He also works very hard and is a fervour student, he usually presents his idea about the lectures.


Rick, a big black guy, he is a kindly guy, too. I think that he has the same hobby as me, listening to music, he had a ipod, he brings it all the time. I don not know about his favourite music type, my favourite types are pop music, rock balad, I have listened to E music since in I was 15.


Ivan, he is really an funny guy. He usually make everyone laugh. It is hard for me to hear what he said, so I'll try my best.

Ari, a nice and funny guy. I like him. But this evening, he'd scared me twice. He also had done same the Ankit and Rick.

Jeremy, he likes to play football. And he is good at basketball, too.

Danny, a Taiwanese kindly young guy. He had took care all of us whole the time in Taiwan. His English is so good. He is in the next door. He informs us the class schedule, helps us find the restaurant, helps us to choose the foods, to calculate the price, etc... It is very busy for him to take care all of us. Thank you so much, Dani. Although he is younger than me but there are many things I can learn from him.

Esther, a Taiwanese healthy girl. Her E is so good, she is Thu's roommate. Thanks Esther, she has took care Thu so much. She has a boy friend who are studying in America, he is a lucky guy.
Standing in the middle in this picture bellow was Durant, a kindly friend. He plays volley ball in my team most of the afternoon. He is really friendly. Thanks Durant.

I was so impressing on the Esther's dancing a few days ago in the karaoke. She usually joins the volleyball with us in the afternoons. You can see that she is a good singer too.

Sandy, a girl with a happy smile. I enjoy her smile so much. She helped us to choose the foods for the meals whenever she went with us. Thanks Cendy.

And Bonnie, the very very nice Taiwanese girl. But I have never talking to her.



And many of new friends I want to say about. Thank all of you for your interests.
