Ting-Ting's Day At The Zoo

2010-08-06T02:58:00.000-07:00

Hi! My name is Ting-Ting, as you know.

Today we went to the Taipei Zoo, where there are a lot of animals. First, we went to the flamingoes part.

Do you know that flamingoes twist their necks and go to sleep? And they can even stand on one leg!

Next, we went to the deer enclosure. The deer were very beautiful, with white spots on them. Finally,we went to the insectarium. We saw lots of butterflies and bugs. I thought the bugs were yucky, but they still looked cool. Today was a good day.

Wow! I saw a flamingo use his head to scratch his body. "Kawaii!" I wanted to jump down and hug the black bear, because he was a baby black bear. The deer were eating grass from the ground. I saw a male next to a female. Now, it was black, as we were in Conservation Corridor, ow! ow! The owl sat on a tree. On the MRT, I saw a crazy old woman, who said, "Don't talk loud." I hate her entire life.

Today we went to the Taipei Zoo. We went by MRT. There were people selling interesting things, like walking panda dolls, and flying fake parrots. I didn't buy anything. I didn't want to spend my money on toys. The flamingo section was what we saw first. They were balancing on one leg, they were sleeping. We saw the deer next. Their antlers stood grandly on their heads. We saw a black bear baby who was playing with a log. Then we went to an insectarium, and saw a butterfly with a broken wing. I felt cruel for not helping it. I hope the animals will be safe at the zoo, and not die of fake nature.

Today, we went to Taipei Mucha Zoo. We saw many animals, which was so "kawaii". First, I saw the flamingoes, which use one leg to stand on when they are sleeping. Next I saw the deer, which were so pretty. They had white spots on them. Then I saw the butterflies. One of the butterflies' wings was broken, so when we saw it, we all thought it was so poor, but we couldn't feed it. Finally, we went to see the monkeys, which can jump from tree to tree. I really like Taipei Mucha Zoo.

Sausage Store
Hi! I am Ting-Ting, I’m in the New Blue Team, as you know.
Yesterday was a good day, but the best part was the Sausage Store. The Sausage Store’s sausages were very good!
They were made from pork, and one sausage needed to cook for forty minutes! So we stood there for thirty minutes.
For hungry me, thirty minutes was a long time, but when I bit into the sausage, all my hunger disappeared. That sausage was so great that I suggest that you go to Pingsi to eat one yourself.

Wild Dog
On Wednesday, I went to Pingsi.There were train tracks there, so we went over them. There was a mountain, so we climbed the mountain. We found a rest area, which had a wild dog which looked like a hungry person. We all used our cookies to feed the wild dog. The wild dog ate so much and it looked so happy. Then we gave the wild dog some water, but it didn’t drink. I put some cookies in the water and the dog saw them. It went to drink it, so we all saw him drink the water. Soon we needed to go. Sandra and I wanted to stay and feed it some more, but we couldn’t. So we went home.

A Day at Pingsi
Yesterday was not as interesting as Ilan. Pingsi was beautiful, but it was quite boring. We went to the Coal Museum first. We saw how workers mined, dug, and drilled, and how unhealthy and dangerous it was to work so deep underground. Upstairs we saw a magnificent gallery of bird photos. After that we went to Jingtong. We waited at the bench for the train. A wild dag ran by. It looked at me, wagging its tail, and sniffing my empty apple juice carton. I threw the carton and shouted"Fetch!" The dog immediately ran over to the carton, picked it up and ran back to me. We fed him cookies which he wolfed down. It was like he hadn't eat for a month. The train came, but after 5 minutes, we had to get off the train. We went to the Pingsi Old Street. Some stores were selling bubbles. I bought two. Yesterday wasn't fun, but interesting.

The Wild Dog on the Mountain
Yeaterday, we went to a low mountain, where there was a wild dog which ran to everyone. We fed it cookies and water. I think this wild dog had no food to eat, so he ate very fast. We played with him. I wish I could take the wild dog home, but I know my mom would say no. Then it was time to say goodbye! I fed another piece of cookie to the wild dog, and ran away because I was scared he would come home with me.

Stacy Goes To Ilan

2010-08-04T21:22:00.000-07:00

Hi! My name is Stacy. I am in the New Blue Team of Chuck’s Summer Blog Camp. On Monday, I went to The Center for Traditional Arts in Ilan. I really enjoyed the flute shop. Inside, there were many flutes. I heard someone blowing a flute, and the sound that flute made was good. I saw a duck flute, which was big and could be blown, but it needed a large person to blow it, because it was very heavy. Sandra bought a turtle flute. It was so cute. I really liked the flute shop. I hope I can go to The Center for Traditional Arts flute shop again.

Sandra went to Ilan

Glass Making
Hi! My name is Sandra. I am in the New Blue Team of Chuck’s Summer Blog Camp. On Monday, I went to the Center for Traditional Arts in Ilan. I really liked the glass making shop. Of course it was only one of the little shops that I went to but I liked it the best. Everything in there was made of pure glass, and everything was made by a teenage boy sitting behind a desk, not far from the door. I walked over and saw that he had a pile of glass sticks beside him, of all colors and lengths. He was taking a stick and melting it over a flame, then placing it neatly on a glass swan. But then he started to talk, and talk, and talk. He talked so much that he never seemed to stop. I can’t imagine that all the little things in the shop were made by this talkative guy.

Clay Modeling
Hi! My name is Sabrina. I am in the New Blue Team, of Chuck’s Summer Blog Camp. On Monday, I went to in the Ilan Center for Traditional Arts. I really enjoyed the clay modeling shop. There were many clay models that people had made, like Zodiac patterns. I felt the clay models were cute. But we couldn’t take pictures, so Stacy just took one picture. I wanted to take one home but my mom said I couldn’t buy one. Sandra bought one. Yesterday was good.

Ting-Ting in a Traditional Shop

2010-08-04T19:51:00.000-07:00

The Making Glass Shop
Hi! My name is Ting-Ting. I am in the New Blue Team of Chuck’s Summer Blog Camp. On Monday, I went to the The Ilan Center for Traditional Arts.
I really enjoyed the blowing glass shop. Inside, I saw a guy pick up a piece of glass and heat it in a flame, and it melted! Then he just twisted it and it turned into a shape! But just then the guy’s phone rang, and he talked for so long that Sandra asked me, ”Do we need to listen to him for this long?” Then the guy said, “You don’t have to look at me.”
Because this guy was so rude, we went to the next shop.
But I thought the shop was great, except for that guy.

2010-02-04T23:19:00.000-08:00

Today I went to Taipei City Hall. There is a museum there all about Taipei called Discover Taipei.

On the top floor there was lots of information about Taipei a long time ago. I saw pictures of the old city wall and from when the Japanese soldiers controlled the city. A long time ago Taipei was nothing but fields. I couldn't believe it.

The other floor was all about Taipei now and the city's different streets and sections. They also had a cool video monopoly-type game. You had to press a button and it would roll dice for you and you would see a video about different areas of Taipei. There was also a model of Taipei 101. It was so big.

We went to City Hall on the MRT. It was fun, but it took a long time. We had to change trains halfway there.

Ying Ge was a fun trip.

Our first stop was the Ying Ge Ceramics Museum. We got to make ceramic art. I made a tiger candle holder. It had lots of stripes and a long tail. I must wait a month for them to mail it to me because it needs to first be baked in an oven.

After we finished, we headed into the Ceramic Park. There was a nice pond and lots of ceramic art -- mostly benches. We walked all over the park and took lots of pictures.

Afterward, we went to Ying Ge Lao Jie (Old Street). There was a brick road that wasn't supposed to have cars on it, but, of course, it was like a freeway. Between dodging cars and scaring my father in shops filled with ceramics, I found a new treat. I had a small pancake-like ball filled with strawberry. It was called a strawberry egg cake.

Finally, we made our way back home on the bus.

Next I went to the Sea Shell Temple. It was beautiful. There were people praying, a puffer fish, turtle, shark and fruit. This fruit could not be eaten, though. This fruit was to give to heaven.

Next, I went to the windmills. I saw flowers and windmills. Carol threw up her fruits and vegetables.

The fountain and bridge were fun. The wheels of the fountain go round and round, but they are slow. The bridge was scary. I was scared I would fall down. I could only walk because it was raining.

The beach was beautiful, too. There were many sea shells. I could see the sea through a small cave.

Puppet Museum
I saw a lot of puppets and little TVs showing puppet shows. My favorite was the monkey puppet playing guitar. I also got to go behind a puppet stage and see how they put on a show.

Sea Shell Temple
The whole temple was made out of shells. It was cool. I got to go inside a little tunnel with even more shells and things to see. I threw some coins in the water to make a wish at the temple. I saw lots of people praying and they gave out free lunches.

Windmills
They were so big. We got to get really close and when you looked up at it it looked like it would fall off and cut off your head! It was by the ocean and the weather was pretty cold!

Stone Arch
We got to go down to the beach. I threw lots of stones in the water. That was lots of fun. There was some glass in the sand so we had to be careful. It was starting to rain so we couldn't spend too much time there.

Sandra at Pixar Exibition

2009-08-14T00:19:00.000-07:00

Today, I went to the Taipei Fine Arts Musem to see the Pixar Exibition. It has the making of the movies, drawing of the characters, even special features. It has the skech of the characters, all was funny, cool, and realistic. For example, Buzz Lightyear, there not going to make it the way it is right now. The only reason Buzz Lightyear is the way he is right now, is because the artists thinks the way Buzz Light Year looks better the way he is right now.
I saw athing called a Zoetrope. It has dolls of different kinds of actions in a row, and when it spins very fast, and the light flashes, the dolls in different actions will act like they're moving. That's my favorite exibit. And a small movie about the Pixar Table Lamp mother and child. The child bounces on a ball and the ball went flat, and the child brought a even bigger one, and scared mother. That one was funny, I liked that one, too! I saw a video that zoomed in and out left and right. Boy, that maked me and Winnie dizzy. So we both left that exibit before it was finished.
Boy, that was fun, better go before it ends at October!

Sandra in Keelong

2009-08-13T02:04:00.000-07:00

On August 12th, we went to Kelung. Our first stop was at Dawulun Battery. When we first reached the Lover's Lake, I was already exausted by clibming the steep hill. Then we went hiking, I saw animals, like snails, spiders..., when Teacher Mike wanted to stop the awful whining of our class, Teacher Mike let us rest under a huge tree which leaves were like a huge umbrella, but not after long, we continued with our exausting hike, but then we found something better than a tree, a windy platform! Not only the weather was great, but the view was also great. We took some pictures then went down the mountain. It was much easier going down than up, not much longer I was happy to be on the ground again.

Our next stop was at the Fairy Cave(仙洞). It's a legend that a long time ago, a monk found out that a hole has a Buda living in it, and gives the monks rice everyday. But because of one monk's greed, he dug the hole bigger, rice never came out again. That hole is nowadays' Fairy Cave. It was wet, narrow, and dark. I got scrapes on my shoulders after we passed it, but I got some really cool shots, there were WORDS on the walls of the Fairy Cave. After we prayed to the Buda, we climbed up some stairs to the Fairy Cave Park(仙洞公園), there are some temples there, too! After that I bought an ice cream, but that's not important.

Our last stop was the Zhong Zhung Park(中正公園). I saw a huge bell, we wanted to strike it, but it costed 50$. Teacher Sophia afforded it, then all us girls stroke the bell, it was fun. The boys didn't get to strike it, but we didn't tell them, then Teacher Mike let us play the Bumper Cars twice. Then I bought a drink. Just then I found out the shop nextdoor was full of beautiful things, we took some pictures, just then the grumpy shopowner said"No picture taking, and no recording either." "Grumpy shopowner." I murmered. Now I wasn't fun and happy, I was angry. But not for long, after a while, I completely forgot about it.

Even if I did meet a grumpy shopowner, she couldn't break my happy feelings of the day in Keelung.

Kenny at Fairy Cave

2009-08-12T23:59:00.001-07:00

We went to the fairy cave. The cave was the biggest at Keelung. The cave is big,but is wet also,and the tunnel is to small,but we went out the small at last.

black and big.Then we went to the lovers lake.It was very beautiful. Last,we climb a little bit,

then we climb to the hill top.We saw the blue sea and boats,It was very beautiful too!

Kenny in Jiou Fen

2009-08-11T05:52:00.000-07:00

Jiou Fen is outside Taipei. Many people like to go to Jiou Fen

because it is a fun place to visit. Yesterday we went there. It is so beautiful. I could see the sea and an island. I even saw the mountains. All from one place. Then we went to the old street full of shops. In one shop there were mugs which had the flags of different countries. They were cool. I liked them. Then we ment to a store with little musical instruments in different shapes. I took a picture with the little harp.

Sandra in Jiou Fen

2009-08-11T02:08:00.000-07:00

Jiou Fen is a fun place in the mountains. It's in the north part of Taiwan. It's a place sort of like Danshui, old streets, lots of food shops.... I think people go there because you can get very many things there that you can't find in Taipei.

I saw funny things, like patato chips on a stick. And some really cool things , too! Like real money that was used a long time ago, I saw mugs that had pictures on them. I bought a little wooden thing that can make me safe . I like Jiou Fen becauase there are very many fun things there that I have never seen before.
When I was helping Teacher Mike pulling the baby cart, we were far behind, then we were lost, we serched for a long time, so I didn't get lunch, but in the end, of course we found each other, and I got something to eat, so my day was fun all the same.

Sandra's Wulai trip

2009-07-30T00:46:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday, July 29th, 2009, we went to Wulai. We ate lunch in a nearby building. Just then I saw a huge labrador wagging his tail and walking towards me. "Oh no!" I thought. "Not this, just because I have 3 dogs at home every dog I see comes to me." then the dog jumped on me, making me fall. "Teacher, help!" I yelled from the top of my lungs. Teacher Mike pulled the dog off my body. "Oh my!" I sighed with relief.

Then we went to the Emerald Dam to throw rocks. Teacher Mike taught us a new trick called"Skipping Rocks". You need to find a flat, round rock, and try to get it spin while throwing, then it bounces from the surface of the water. I tried, but it didn't bounce, instead, with a SPLASH, it sank into the water. Teacher Mike's rock bounced all the way to the other side of the Emerald Dam. "So hard." I muttered.

Then we went to the Shopping Street. We saw small shops where cute little things were sold, but they were too expensive. We couldn't afford it, so we skipped those shops. Instead, we stopped at shops which sold food.

I saw something that caught my eye, a B.B. gun game! It cost $50, "Too expensive I thought, but I didn't care, I put the money on the table, took out a gun and started shooting. Teacher Mike joined me, I got 7 balloons, but teacher only got 4, we added our points, and won a water gun for 11 shots.

Wulai is such a fun city! I hope I could go there again, someday!

Connie Travels To Wulai

2009-07-29T23:47:00.000-07:00

We took about one hour to get there. Do you know what we did at first?"You can start to eat you lunch right now!"said Teacher Sophia. I opened my eyes extremely wide."What?~~"said all of the people there. Because it felts like it was just ten 0' clock. But she's the teacher, I must listen to her. I slowy opened the outside wrapper of the veggie roll and I took a huge bite. Gosh! That smells terrible! That tastes terrible! That was terrible! But I was forced to eat it. I almost going to puke, and I secretly threw it into my bag. Please don't tell Teacher Sophia!

Teacher Mike took us to a place with a river near by. And then he taught us how to skip rocks."First , you need to collect some small and flat rocks."said Teacher Mike really loud,"And then do it like this......" Since the other people were playing with the rocks, I was standing there with Teacher Sophia. "I've found this big thing here, I want to get on this!" Said I and wishing Teacher Sophia could say out the word"YES"and not the word of"NO". "It's too dangerous! Don't go up there!" said Teacher Sophia just like sceaming. While she's talking to others I jumped up to the thing that was big and tall. Did you know what I saw? I saw some thin woods and some black and dirty coals! And the most exiciting thing was: I've brought some brand new coals home and nobody knew it!

After a while, Teacher Mike led us to a market street."Now i'll give you a few minutes for free time, i'll wait for you at the bridge of this street! Then Carol, Emmy and I went shopping on the market street together. Just when I marched out the first step they stoped. Carol bought a sausage. At last I bought one too!

I think the trip to Wulai was very fun!

Carol goes to Wulai

On Wednesday July 29, I went to Wulai with my class. We ate veggie rolls and guava for lunch. When we were ready to go, a dog jumped on Sandra and she fell down.We walk across the road and took some pictures.

Next we rode on a little train down to skip rocks. I tried and tried,but I couldn't do it. I think it was very difficult to do that. Then we went to a shopping street to buy things and take pictures. We played a lot too!

Last we went bact to the bus and had lots of fun. I was very confertable so I fell asleep on Emmy's leg. We were still playing when we got back to school.

Fisherman's Wharf

We went to many places, such as the Fisherman's Warf (漁人碼頭). It's beneath the Lover's Bridge(情人橋). The Fisherman's Warf (漁人碼頭) is like a dock, where the boats which sail on the Tanshui River (淡水河) stop. After our visit to the Fisherman's Warf (漁人碼頭) we crossed the Lover's Bridge. It's connected on the two sides on the banks of Tanshui River (淡水河), in case someone wants to cross it.

Tansui Lao Jie

We went to Lao Jie. It's close to the MRT station and it is easy to find the Lao Jie . There are many foods and games so it can let us take lots of fun and picture, but it's hot too. Teacher Sophia bought us a drink called Hyptis. There were four kinds. It was good to drink. Then we went to the station and waited for the school bus. Last we went back to Chuck School.

Tansui

2009-07-27T23:20:00.000-07:00

Do you know Tansui? Tansui's a place with many beautiful and colorful flowers and green grass all over the ground. I love Tansui! I know then you guys want to know where we (blue team) went to, right? We went to the famous Fisherman's Wharf and Tansui old street! It was a lot fun! Let me show you how to get there: 1. You can walk there, but it might take a long~~ long~~ time to arrive! 2.You can also go there by MRT. From the Taipei main MRT station to Tansui will take about 36 minutes. 3. I suggest you go there by car. You can stay in the car driving and watch the wonderful scenery at the same time! It will take about one and a half hours from Dahu to Tansui. Let's let the blue team introduce you to some of the places of Tansui !
