This weekend I went to Taichung to meet my boyfriend just like what I did in last semester. But this time we went to a special place, National Museum of Natural Science, where I learned a lot from this trip. Besides the museum, we also went to the Feng Chia Night Market and Yichung Street. The food that impressed me most in the night market was powder intestine. It’s really tasty but costly. Although I’ve been there for three times, I didn’t satisfied with going there for I still thought that I didn’t eat all of the yummy foods. I was tired with waiting in the line and, unfortunately, all the famous foods had a long line! So I’ll stop going there until I have enough patience waiting for it.
In addition to the delicious food, I had a shocking experience in Taichung. It was at ten o’clock on Friday when my boyfriend and I wanted to go home. We walked to the parking lot in Feng Chia University, preparing to ride on our scooter, and I, wanted to show my skill in riding a scooter, volunteering to ride it. My boyfriend encouraged me to do so, instructing me how to ride the scooter. At first, I thought “it’s okay!” “I am just riding to the gate of the university and it’s safe in the campus.” But then I’ve already ridden to the gate, outside of the gate, and right in the night market! Oh my! I was so nervous that I kept yelling my boyfriend’s name and shivered my legs! It was very embarrassed but I still consider that the best way to train your riding skill is to ride in the night market like me or, ride in the most famous streets in front of NCKU campus.
Then on the Saturday morning we went to the most amusing place – National Museum of Natural Science. Not to mention, we saw many exhibition about human’s body in The Journey of Human Life, the Mini Zoo, and Agriculture Ecology. In addition, we also went to the Herb Garden and the Chinese Science and Technology, seeing many great implements in Ancient China. But the most impressing one is still The Age of Dinosaurs in The Life Science Hall. Although the specimens of dinosaurs are not true, they are vivid. Well, at last they successfully scare some little children who would cry when their parents asked them to take some pictures with the dinosaurs. I felt that I was bad because I smiled in my mind when I saw that scene.

Finally I want to commend that five hours are absolutely not enough for looking around the Museum. We missed a lot of wonderful places and still can’t finish all the halls. Besides, you need to have a great physical strength; otherwise you’ll feel your strength does not match your ambitions. We’ve already decides that next time we are going to the 3-D Theater and watch some films. This summer we’ll also go to the museum in our hometown, Kaohsiung. I can’t wait for that. Oh by the way, I love this kind of dating because we would not only improve our relationship through dating but also learn together.

The immigrants
Few weeks ago I read a short story about the immigrants. The story described how a couple was treated partial by the government of America when they wanted to bring their two years old child to there. The parents though it would be easy to move to America so that the couple could live together with their baby. However, the policy actually didn’t take care of the immigrants and respect their rights. The parents both had a certificate but at that time they didn’t have their baby. Only because there’s no certificate to prove that they had a child after they had their own papers, the customs officers took away their child. Then it’s a series of delays and irresponsibility. At first, the government claimed that “tomorrow” they can have the paper to let the parents bring back their son. But finally, the parents saw their child after ten months!!
The most shock plot is at the final sentence. When the mother went to the nursery school to bring back her child, he said “go away, go away!” and bade his mom. How could those things happened to a mother who loved her child so much? How could the government regard such things – to take away a child from his or her beloved parents – as nothing big deal? If the government were really sympathized the mother and treated all human beings impartial, I believe the mother would not lose her child for totally ten months! There’s no wrong with the rule which it can not let a person enter a country without the proof, even though the person is just a child. But the policy did have some problems of its effectiveness and corruptions, leading to the heart-breaking ending.
This also made me think about the brides from South China, Thai, and Vietnam. Do we treat them well or didn’t ignore their rights? The answer is absolutely no! We can still see some immigrants without the identification or the welfares just like us. It’s also an unfair thing for them and an incompleteness of our country’s laws! But no much of us are really concern or care about their rights, their feelings, and their life! How many of them are suffering from the no identification, no jobs, or even no their own children besides them? I feel a great sorrow for the mother in the essay only by thinking about the isolation of her and her son, and the refusal gave by her son.
There is always unfairness in this world. No matter to the female, children, or the immigrants, there must still a lot of problems hiding some where or even in public. But if the governments don’t make any improvements, hundreds of thousands of people would still suffer from the inhuman policy. Now what we should do is that no longer think this kind of thing is others business for some day we may also have the same problem. Let’s fight for their rights, the laws, and our life by offering your cares.

Anorexia
We decide to present the issue of “Anorexia” in the final project of Freshman English. I have been interested in such issue for a long time since I read an article about anorexia. That was talked about a girl who has anorexia because she wanted her father can notice her. She believed that only by becoming thin would her father pay more attention to her. Then she started exercise, didn’t eat anything but a glass of grapes, and vomited, just like typical patients of anorexia would do. I started to wonder that what causes them to hate their body and believe that they can still alive without eating anything. Or which kind of force could compel them to put their love food to the ground?
Probably because I have no problem in my figure, I can’t understand the desire of becoming thinness of a fat or full figure person. But what’s surprising me is that a lot of anorexic are already slender! Maybe because of their occupation such as models, they needed to be thinner and thinner (that’s also another serious issue about several models who got anorexia died last few years) or other reasons. I simply curious about why they regard this concept as nothing big deal, even think that it’s normal. I particularly love the essay wrote by those who really got anorexia talking about how they look at their action, their body’s different, and their feelings of this disease. At this time, research papers are useless because they always talking about the solutions instead of the feeling of the patients.
However, this time we focus on the children anorexic, which is more surprising in society. We found a piece of news in Taiwan and one in other country. The former is about the youngest patient of anorexia only ages seven, the first grade in elementary school, the most innocent age in our whole life! The latter is about a five-years-old boy getting anorexia because he believes that he would be teased if he is fat. I believe that most of us have a wonderful childhood, didn’t have to worry about the figure, the grade, and the relationship between our friend and us. The most influential people are our parents, and even if we have friends, the topics around us should always be the play – where we can have fun, when we should meet each other, and what we can play.
Now every thing – the value and the attitude toward shape, health, and the most important one, life – are all different from our childhood. How come these innocent children have to face these trivial problems? How can we help them to go back to their naïve world? I don’t know the answer for I myself could not understand the strong request of being thinness. I agree that we all need a lot of things to feel alive, family, love, and friends. But I also trust that we all need one thing – to actually be alive. If we lose our life in order to pursue some not-really-need dreams, all of them become not exist.
