Letter 30 - Plum rain

Plum Rain

  I hate this time. Because I don't know why, but somehow I'm seriously allergic to the rain in Taiwan. When it's about to rain I can't stop sneezing, and too many sneezes really makes my head hurts, and it's hard to listen what the teacher is trying to teach you when you can't stop sneezing and the running nose problem. And sometimes it makes me really sleepy in class.(maybe this is why I like to sleep so much) If you've got this allergic problem you may not really want to exchange the weather, though really hot is annoying too, but the most horrible weather in Taiwan is when you've got lots of hot and humid days, you feels the hot and sticky feelings all around you. Another horrible thing is before the rain starts it gets extremely muggy, and anyone will fall asleep in class. I remember one muggy day with math class, everyone (except for Melody, and we all don't know why, she often sleeps in class, but not on this day) fall asleep, even the most hard-working student Cathy, who doesn't sleep in any class.

Letter 29 - A whole bunch of tasty Turkish images

Reply to the letter

  I'm really excited for my future college, and whenever I heard something interesting about Australia, I go a bit crazy, thank you for putting the big eucalyptus tree's picture on your letter. This is the first time I've seen the tree "eucalyptus" written in English, and it's really funny when I try to pronounce it the first time, and I'm like "yuki?" "lipstick?" "no...no...no...I'll try reading it again...". And it took me a while to get the pronunciation correct...

  I've been putting really much effort into English, it's hard to keep up when you have advanced English to study and have to study other subjects too. (or you'll have to stay in senior high repeating the grade forever...QAQ) But I've really made up my mind to study harder, no matter how much my math and social study might regress, I clearly know what I'm aiming to.

  As I read through the letter, I felt a bit sad for Superior, all the prosperity was gone, all that's left is the gradually emptied town...

  The last part of the letter made me really hungry, that I forgot about all the sad part of Superior. Here's some picture I googled. (hahaha...It's a revenge to make you hungry too)

Letter 28 - Mango Season + Song

The Mango Season

  In summer, Taiwan is abundant with all kinds the fruit. But the most popular one for the foreigners is Mango. And the smell and the taste would 200% get you addicted. Personal suggest the "Golden Mango". It has the unique texture, sweet, juicy and quite chewing.

  The best ways tasting mangoes. If you hate peeling fruit, you can try cutting it like the picture below. First, cut it into half. Next, cut the net shape inside the mango. Last, turn the pulp inside out. Then, well done, enjoy your mango.
