JinGuaShi

On saturday, my roomates and I went to JinGuaShi in the northeast pole of the Taiwan. It is a small town in the hill. In the past, this town was an important place to output gold in Asia, especially in the period of Japanese. So, our government set a gold museum over there to introduce that glorious time.

It is not noly in the hill, but also by the ocean. Hence, it has fantasitc scene. We stood on a relative high spot and watched toward the ocean. What a marvelous view! we shut out. Everything here made us peaceful and temporarilly forgot annoyance that bothered us.
Stood here for a long time. Altough it was a sizzler, the scene entirely attract us and we didn't want to leave at all.

Someday, if I have chance to go to JinGuaShi again, I will do without hesitant.

Long Gang Great Parade Ground

In the afternoon of Friday, I took a walk in the Long Gang Great Parade Ground in Jongli after lunch. As its name, it is truly big and wide .In the past, this parade ground is a field to assemble army force. However, the field is used for entertainment to public now beause of the organization of our national military force. Therefore, many people do excises or play in it. Specially, at that day, many players play their remote control aircrafts, which was very interesting.
Though its function is changed, there are still military facilities in this parade ground, which told people its honorable history.

Learn To Make An Espresso

Last month, my sister bought an espresso manchine. Due to she, I learned to make espresso rather than instant coffee which I drank everyday. It's truly funny. We should put coffee powder into a special container and use vapor released by machine to extract coffee. After process of extracting coffee, I can use the vapor left to mix with milk to make foamed milk, which will turn this cup of coffee into a cappuccino or even a latte. However, this kind of coffee is not a really espresso. Because of our machine, we can't produce 'Crema' which might be the most important essence of an espresso. Furthermore, the ocffee of our machine might be more bitter than the coffee made by exact one. This is because our machine uses stream rather than bump. The pressure of bump machines is more powerful, which is necessary. There will be some kinds of technical problems to make an espresso when using stream for extracting. Therefore, I hope we can save money to buy a high class machine some day.

A Performance on Air

Last Friday , I went to a broadcast station to record a broadcast.

That was my first time I had a chance to speak and perform harmonica on air.

It was truly an interseting experience though I didn't perform well because of lack of practice.

Due to the nervous sense, my voice didn't stop quivering when I introduced myself.

However, the two anchorwomen had excellent ability to control the process and made

the atmosphere easy and relaxing.

So, this is still a happpy experience for us.
