Ting-Ting's Day At The Zoo

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.

Sabrina's Trip to Mucha Zoo

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.

Sandra's Day At The Zoo

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.

Stacy at the Zoo

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.

Ting-Ting went to Pingsi

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

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.

Sabrina went to Ilan

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.

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.
