Groundhog?!
I'm not really sure what is a gopher and marmot, so I went searching on the Internet and this is what I found out. And I don't think any of them exist in Taiwan, so I can't really tell their difference. But I think it's really a clever idea to predict the weather by groundhogs.

| This is a marmot which is called "土撥鼠" in Chinese, but somehow a groundhog is also called "土撥鼠", too. Marmot, "Hug me, hug me, plz!" |

| This is a gopher which is called 金花鼠(golden flower rat) in Chinese. |
About Chinese New Year... Hmm...
I didn't really do anything special or take any photos during Chinese New year. Yes, I mean we did have a reunion meal with our cousins, but nothing else special, like visiting each others house or something. For the meal I went to Tainan seafood restaurant, it's kind of like a traditional Chinese restaurant, you know what I'm saying right? The kind of restaurant that has a big round table to sit with your family. This meal is with my cousins who are genetically related to my mother. On the other side I had a Japanese buffet with my father's relatives.
And I found that 櫻桃鴨(cherry duck, it tastes a little bit sweet) is very delicious there.
The Hand-made Book
It's about what I did on my winter vocation. I helped holding a winter camp for my mom's friend, and she gave us 1000 NT dollars for each day we worked. Hugo came with me, too.

Sharing about a pop game in Taiwan
There's an old type of game that is called GROW. And it became a pop game in Taiwan again because a famous Taiwanese you tuber (阿神) started to play them recently. And they just brings up all kinds of memories about my childhood. The game's ending depends on what you choose to click. And only an ending is real.
Two of the fake and funny endings.

The correct ending for the game.
Doris,
ReplyDeletei like your book about your camp experience! The design and layout were very well done! Good job.
Groundhogs, gophers, and marmots are very similar animals. if you don't have them in Asia,, I'm not surprised that Chinese uses the same word for all of them.
