Taiwan – touch my heart

In night market. Terrific place for eating, having fun and shopping.

 

Me and my new cap!

 

In the port of Su’ao (蘇澳) – east of the island.

 

Taiwanese flag in the sea.

 

Thinking about life and the future. It was the easternmost place I have ever been to.

 

Some ships in the background. Wonderful weather and great mood.

 

Do you like art? I do. That’s why I visited that museum. Very good place.

 

The city of Taichung (台中) – with palms in the streets…

 

Waiting for High-Speed Rail (高鐵) to Taoyuan (桃園) – that was my last day in Taiwan.

 

And here it’s coming – fast train, similar to those from Hangzhou to Shanghai.

 

Big Buddha in Changhua (彰化) – small city near Taichung.

 

Taiwan – touch my heart. It really did.

 

Trying on new cap. Eventually I didn’t buy it.

 

New sunglasses! Well, I also didn’t buy those…

hello Hangzhou

Taiwan

I’m in Taiwan. I’m back here.
Having holidays, taking a good rest, riding motorcycle, eating delicious food, buying funky things!
I love this place on earth. So cool, friendly and colourful.
Mine.

absent-minded

心不在焉 – to be absent-minded, to be miles away

我做事心不在焉，经常出错。

我心不在焉，精神不够集中。
精神 － mind
够 － enough
集中 － concentrate

他心不在焉的，让我很生气。

I got the prize. "The Most Popular Teacher – Super Charmer"! Hahaha, so nice feeling.

Thank you, students. You made my day.

dancing

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody’s feeling warm and bright

It’s such a fine and natural sight

Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight

月光 – moonlight
跳舞 – dance

在月光下跳舞。
或 在月光中跳舞。
