Techno dance of Nezha Deity

Nezha Deity is a very popular folk god in East Asian societies. In Chinese mythology, Nezha was the third son of God Li Jing so that he's called "Sam Thài Tsú" (means the third prince) in Taiwanese.
There are a lot of legends about him, like flying with a wheel of fire under each foot, with a red sash around his shoulder, and with a "cosmic ring" in one hand and a spear in the other. People used to wear oversized masks of a baby-faced god and dressed in elaborate costumes, and then paraded on the streets to celebrate his birthday before. In the near years, some people in Chiayi County had an idea to add techno music and dance into the parade. The parade soon became a cute and fun performance. On the opening ceremony of the 2009 World Games, their performance caught everyone's eye and was chosen to be the most impressive one of the year. Since then, it has been "an exquisite, modern and very Taiwanese" folk religion parade.

Taiwanese Food and Table Manners

Recently, I learn many things from the food project. My teammates and I made the steamed burgers which we think could represent Taiwanese culture. Although it's famous and delicious, I don't like it with pickled cabbage. In fact, I think pickled cabbage has a strange smell.
In addition, I interviewed my family about what food could best represent Taiwanese culture. I found that people at different ages have different thoughts. Most of the elders think it's "rice porridge" or "sweet potato", but the middle-aged persons think "stinky tofu" or "rice with stewed pork" is the most popular. To tell the truth, I like the "pearl milk tea" myself, because when we introduce it to the foreigners, many of them know it's Taiwanese food. In short, there's lots of traditional and special food in Taiwan.
I also learn about table manners. When we eat in Taiwan, there are many table manners we should obey. For example, we should let elders sit down first, don't start eating as soon as the food gets on the table and try everything that is offered to us. Besides, we don't put our chopsticks upright in our rice, this is what the elders care most. But if we don't want to use the chopsticks, what should we do? Don't be nervous. When we aren't using chopsticks, or have to drink, or talk, we can leave them flat on the table. Although there are many table manners, it's our precious culture.

My Summer Vacation

This summer, I spent lots of time to study subjets. I studied in Wufu junior high school for five weeks, and learned some new things at the cram school on the weekends. I also had gone to the chocolate exhibition. Studing at school was boring, but the exhibition was more interesting. In the exhibition, many exhibits were made of chocolae, like Taipei 101, Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses (兵馬俑). And there were a lot of pictures to show how to make the chocolate. It was great, but there were too many people, it was uncomfortable. Other time, I stayed at home.

Realize Our Earth

A few weeks ago, our teacher invited the manager of Starbucks to tell us how to reuse the coffee dregs. They are magical and useful, and they can get rid of the terrible smell !
Last week, we went to Jhouzai Wetland for a field trip. It was interesting. I learned many plants and a few animals. I also took a lot of pictures. From this field trip, I realize it's important to protect the environment, and our mother earth.
So, we have to take action save the earth now !!!

A Nightmare

Then I heard the baby cry hard and the babysitter screamed loudly. " Help! Help! " I found the sound was from my bedroom. I pushed the door slowly. I saw that my husband was tied with a rope on my bed. There were many aliens in my bedroom !!! One of the aliens had a pair of long ears , seven eyes , no nose , nine mouths and a large body. It flew in the air and looked at me. Another had no eyes , no ears , no mouths , but it had two funny noses and fifty hands. It carried my baby. I was scared , but I still shouted at them. " Put down my baby! " They didn't put it down. The babysitter was almost crazy. Suddenly , an UFO was landing in the yard. The UFO was enormous , so it broke the windows from the study to the living room. The aliens took many bundles of ropes. My husband , the babysitter , the baby and I were tied. They wanted us to get on the UFO. When I got into the UFO , there were many kinds of animals in the boxes. I was very afraid. They wanted to research the brain of different animals. I saw they took a knife and then cut my head! I shivered terribly. While my head was cut by the aliens , my neighbor's dog barked. The aliens thought the dog was so noisy. They caught the dog , cooked it and ate it. I felt sick. Then , my alarm clock rang. I woke up. I'm glad it was only a dream.
