Carp's January in 2016

January 3 ( By Jia-yi Chen )

      Today, Jia-yi and I went to a hot pot restaurant.  The restaurant was near Jia-yi’s school, and the restaurant was called “Fu-Yuan.”  The hot pots there were delicious.  There were many people in the restaurant on the holiday, and we had to wait for a long time.  However, the meals were not expensive, and the amount was huge.  Besides, we could order extra rice and take a lot of sauce for free!

      After that, we also went to another restaurant—“Tai Jon Hot Pot.”  The soup in the second restaurant was so clear that we drank a lot of soup.  The dishes there were great, but they were more expensive.  However, we could order extra drink and ice cream for free!  Today, Jia-yi and I ate a lot and felt very full.  What a happy and satisfactory holiday!

January 8 ( By Ariel Lee )

        Today is January 8.  I celebrated Christmas with Ariel and her friends.  This was a belated Christmas dinner celebration.  Originally, we wanted to celebrate Christmas Day on December 25, but there were too many things that caused this delay.

This was the second Christmas that Ariel and her friends celebrated together.  But this year, the celebration was special because of me, Carp, a friend from Japan joining them!  We ate spicy hot pot in the Xin Temple restaurant.  It was located near the Songjiang Nanjing MRT station, Taipei.  It was a famous restaurant.  I thought this restaurant was very good.  For us, Christmas was a day full of gratitude.  We usually helped each other and encouraged each other.  Christmas was the best time to express gratitude.  I hope that after Christmas, we can celebrate together every year!

January 12 ( By Jane Xu )

      Today, I studied with Jane after school because she had a big exam this Friday.  After the study, I went home with Jane.  I met her mother, and she is beautiful and kind.  We ate dinner together.  The dinner was delicious, and I was very grateful for their hospitality.  After dinner, I sat on the couch, and Jane started to do a report at the computer desk.  Jane paid attention to her report, and I didn’t want to interfere with her report.  I noticed that she was very serious.  After she finished her report, she got so tired that we took a break.  I hoped that Jane would get great good grades on the final exams!

January 16 ( By Mei-yi Ju )

      Today is a rainy day.  It’s raining very heavily.  Mei-yi went to work in the morning, so I stayed at home and watched TV.  I spent a boring morning on my own.  In the afternoon, Mei-yi came home from work.  She looked tired.  After her shower, she felt that I should took a bath because I looked as if I hadn't taken a bath for a month.  I agreed with her, so I decided to clean myself in a hot bath.  No doubt, I looked better and cleaner than before.

  

January 17, 2016 ( By Denny Chen )

      On Saturday, Denny, his friend and I went to Keelung and saw a temple where there were many stairs nearby.  We counted the stairs, and I took a photo with Denny on the thirty-second stairs.  Counting the stairs made me very tired, but I felt very happy because I could stay with my friend and played with him.  Denny also took a cool pose with me in the photo.  I thanked Denny for inviting me to the temple, and this made me a happy day.  I thought I would never forget today, and wished I will have another chance to hang out with Denny again.
