Homework

Taiwan is not really huge country on the map. Japan is also a small country. However, I have been living in Taiwan since September. Now, I think that Taiwan is not small place. Let me talk about my feeling about Taiwan.

Last Saturday, I visited Taipei with my Taiwanese friend. I have been really wanted to see Taipei101 and any other interesting places. First, we went to Long Shan Si temple and I experienced traditional Taiwanese style of praying to god. There were several kinds of god in the Temple. The way to pray was very different from Japanese one. Furthermore, I thought Taiwanese decoration of temple was very beautiful and looked so energetic. Our Japanese temples were designed very simply. After we left the temple, we went to Ding Tai Fung and ate Xiao Long Pao. This restaurant is very famous and popular among many people from outside of Taiwan. We have same restaurants in Japan but that was my first time to eat Ding Tai Fung’s dishes. Interestingly, there were a lot of Japanese tourists in front of the restaurant and waiting until their number were called. They looked so excited and happy.

After we had lunch at Ding Tai Fung, we went to Taipei101 and reached to the observation desk. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and rainy in the afternoon so I actually couldn’t see the beautiful view around Taipei city. Next time, I want to see it.

Finally we visited Xi Men Di. I bought pretty short boots and some pictures and goods of DBSK. It was very crowded but I enjoyed this day very much.

In the end, we arrived Providence University at 10:30. I was very tired but I had a really good time. Taiwan is not a small place. It has many amazing aspects and much huger place than I had expected before.
