Eating

I have been here for almost three mouths. My friends and I always have a reunion in Asian’s restaurants. Not only it is cheaper but also it is near our school. We went to Korean’s BBQ, Thai’s food, and certainly Chinese restaurants. My favorite is the “little fat sheep” which is famous chain store in China . It is famous for its hotpot. With Chinese medicine, the soup smells good and taste delicious. And another restaurant I like is Hong Kong restaurant “du chan”. It sells Hong Kong’s desserts such as different kinds of dumpling and buns.
Although I like Asia’s food, I want to go to different countries food like American or India. I almost forget I am in New York now.

Spring is in the air

Yesterday, as usually, I wore the chunky sweater and overcoat to go to school. After I went to school, I feel so embarrassed. I saw a lot people wearing short T-shirt or even a sleeveless T-shirt. My classmates told me the temperature was almost 70 degrees. It reminded me of the day when I went to Boston during spring break.. The temperature changed quickly in U.S.A. The first day I stayed in the Boston was 5 degrees. The day after, it surged to 30 degrees. Now, I know I had better check the temperature before I go out every day.
Now I am so delighted that spring. I saw some students sitting on the beaches and talking each others in campus. Some students play ball on the ground. Unlike winter, spring is full of life. I am full of energy.

traveling

I like to travle. I have been to 15 countries. Do you think it a big number? No, It only accounts for 6% of all countries in the world. I have been to some Asia countries like Japan, China, India and Europe like Paris, U.K., Italy and Australia. Of couse, I am in America. So, next country I expect to go the South Africa. I also want to go the Greece, Eygpt, and Maldives.
If you ask me what coutries i like most, I will say I like Australia most. I went to Australia on Oct. 2006. The main cities I visited in Austrlia are Cairns and Sydney. I like sunshine and beach. We did some exciting activities in Cairns such as skydiving and hot air balloon. We also go to one of the word hesitage scenes-Great Barrier Reef to go to dive. And then we went to Sydney to see the famous architecture-Opera House. Traveling can make me see different thing in the world. I will keep traveling in the rest of my life.

It is hard to live in U.S.A

My Taiwan hold the travel visa when she entered in United Stated. Because her friend lives here and introduced her a job. Fortunately, she got a job here. But now, she is so troubled about her visa. First, she should hire a lawyer and help her to complete all documents for applying her H1 visa. It takes her $150/an hour in the first cousulting. Then she maybe spend more than $5000 finishing all the process. In addition, if she wants to keep the visa, she need to pay extra fee every year. Second, there is a limit number in H1 visa every year. Now, she just can apply the 2008 H1 visa and she can't go to work until October(If she got a permisiion). She didn't have a good pay to cover all these expenses, so she hesitated if she will leave. I think to live in USA is not a easy thing. Prices are higher in New York. So..I consider about wheater i stay here to find a job after i finish my master degree or go back to Taiwan.

the sky in New York

People maybe say that the weather in New York is sucks—it is hot in summer and cold in winter. I think so, too. However, I like the sky in New York. The sky in New York is always blue since I came here. I don’t know why there is always no cloud and the sky is so “clear”. How beautiful it is!! I like this sky, especially in the sunset. You can see “Big Sun” down and the color changes to purple. I went to Empire state building and went to the top to see New York’s beautiful sunset scene in this spring break. The view really makes me touched. It is more beautiful than I thought. If my friends ask me where to go in New York, I will strongly recommend this spots.

Snap out of it!!

Doesn't happy time fly? I had a great time in spring break, but now I am supposed to come back to my normal life - go to school, do homework, and study hard. I have been New York for two months, but I found my English has not improved very much. When I went outside or watched TV at home, I couldn’t understand others' talking. I can't express my opinions fluently. When I do my writing homework, I still had a lot of errors in my essays. I am so disappointed myself now. Sometimes I want to give up and come back my hometown. However, I need to snap out of it!! I know I need to keep going rather than staying!!
