Life in California

After arriving America, I always need someone to drive me to different places. No matter go to school or market, car is really important for me to live in CA.

Even though I have drive licence in Taiwan, the high speed of vehicles in CA terrified me. I'm trying to pass the drive test but always forget to do shoulder check. When I arrived at LA, I was so surprised that it's inconvenient to take public transportation. I really miss the transportation of my country because I can save much time to go anywhere.

Yesterday I went to Hollywood Bawl for concert and I just joined in traffic congestion. Even it happens everyday, I very hate to be stopped on the way. I consider that why government doesn't want to establish public system, which can decrease not only traffic problem but also air pollution. I really want what residents in CA think about their traffic problem.

Introduction

Hi ~ my dear classmates

Today is really hot and I'm thinking how to introduce myself. I come from Taiwan and I am an occupational therapist in Taiwan. My job is to train children or adult who were disabled to complete their daily occupations. I love my job because I can help them to come back to their life. Beside working, I like go traveling to visit different countries and taste different delicious food. But now I miss Taiwanese food so much and like to cook by myself.

I just got married at the end of summer semester. (That's a big secret!!) I consider that it is difficult to be a student and housewife because there is so much homework and housework I have to finish. I like to try different recipes and enjoy the process. And now I wish I can apply graduate school which I really like.

Interview with Tinna

I have known Tinna since last semester, but we do not know each other very well. Even though we met several times before, I only knew she is from China. Tinna is an easy-going girl but still a little shy to share about her story. Tinna comes from Fujiang, in the south-east of China, but she cannot speak Fujianese, which is similar to Taiwanese. That is why we communicate only in English and Mandarin. I am so jealous that she is good at mathematics and physics, which I like less. She said she had not liked learn language since she was an elementary school student. After graduating from university, she now studies hard and hope to get master degree of computer science in the future.
