San-Min 北縣三民高中Graduation Ceremony




Today is my frinds' graduation ceremony. Many guests, parents, teachers and students get together to celebrate the graduation. I am so lucky to be there with them.




Miss Su, their teacher also made a speech and congratuated them. She was happy for them, but I can tell from her tearful eyes that she is a little sad because her students were going to leave the school.


I was so surprised that I saw your video played on the stage. It was so touching.

Tea Party with San-Min kids


Today I (Shogaku Bear) went to the farewell tea party with Taipei San-Ming High School Kids. I was so surprised that so many students and tea teachers drank tea together. They were making a kind of traditional Chinese tea in Taiwan called KungFu tea or " old-man tea". They used small tea pots to make tea. I drank it. It was delicious, but too bitter and too strong for me. However, I like the way they share tea and chat and laugh.

Happy to see you again.





Today I am so happy because Mr. Hiroshi Ueno, a ICT teacher of Shogaku High School, Okinawa, comes to see me. He also brought Tsai-To Bear back to his hometown. I am so glad to see them here in Taiwan. I miss my friends in Okinawa because I have left home for 6 months and I haven't seen them for such a long time. Although I can read the diary they kept for Taipei San-Min "Tsai-To" Bear, I still want to see them face to face.
Mr. Ueno asked me if I wanted to go back to Okinawa. I said I would go back to Okinawa next time becuase there is still so many places I want to go and I like new friends here. So, see you all next time.

Here goes the adventure of Shogaku bear in Taiwan--->



A day at Crystal’s home--March 14, 2006

Hello, friends back home in Japan. I miss you very much, so I write this message to you.Today is Saturday. I woke up early because Crystal had to go to cram school. Then, I listened to Crystal’s brother, Boris, play the violin. He played so well. In the afternoon, Boris had to go to the violin class and I stayed home and took a nap. In the evening, Crystal came back from the cram school. She was watching TV when eating dinner. It’s a Japanese cartoon called “Konan”, a little detective’s story. After dinner, we played and watched TV with Crystal’s cousin, Christina, at Crystal’s grandpa’s house. We had fun there. When we had to go home, Christina looked sadly at me and said” Good bye, bear, hope to see you again.” I answered” I hope, too.” After we got home. Crystal started to study because she had to prepare for the test.Oh, It’s eleven o’clock. I have to go to bed and I hope Good night everyone. Have a nice dream.
Crystal & the bear

參加NDYS2006高雄大會學生感想



By Crystal 吳睿穎 &
Jason 韋長志


「很高興能參加NDYS高峰會」這是我的真心話。雖然第一天從頭到尾都有被拋棄的感覺,但這也是一次可貴的經驗。第二天的NDYS會議,是其中最美好的回憶,但唯一美中不足的就是無法讓每個人都上台表現自己的英文。後來的科工館之旅我們都很樂在其中,還有當天晚上壽山國中的校園真的很棒!我從沒想過學校裡還可以有露營場地,真是令我大開眼界!
晚會時我第一次那麼興奮,在其中聽到許多異國的音樂,當天晚上就像一個小聯合國一樣。
第三天的文化之旅也是重要的項目,我第一次到旗津,看到一些我在台北從沒看過的景觀,高雄真是個好地方;順便一提我還充當了臨時小翻譯唷~真是幸運!每位老師用英文講解時,我都有認真在聽喔!我還會仔細看著老師的眼睛,試著多了解老師所說的內容…..在這三天內雖然不是全程都用英文溝通,但和日本學生說話的時候就不得不(English only no Chinese)

平時的我遇到陌生人就是會害羞~ I’m a shy girl. 但是面臨各國好有時,我就是個開朗活潑的女孩!我也不曉得為什麼,但這有助我更想參加國際計劃的心~ 老師同學们以後有機會再請多多指教啦~

感謝第一天陪我一起等寄宿家庭的媽媽,還有Doris和那位長得很帥的老師~~ 最後謝謝我的寄宿家庭、鳳西國中、壽山國中的校長、老師和學生!

Thanks a lot~

參加這次的國際活動,對我這個國3生而言,是滿。。。高興的!也滿。。。有種說不出的感覺。。。類似高興那種的,因為國3已經沒什麼時間參加這種活動,但這也是我第一次參加這種活動!也是最後一次!雖然感覺滿可惜的,就只有這短短的3天兩夜,不過已經不錯了,身為一位國3生還有時間去參加這種國際型的活動真的對我來講,就是感動啦!!也很感謝我們蘇老師給我這個機會!

從一開始聽到有這個計畫的時候,我就對這個計畫滿感興趣的,一來可以增加我的英文能力,二來我也可以真正的根外國人說"英文",又讓我在多寫幾篇英文的文章,因為我本身對英文就滿感興趣的,所以很高興能夠參加這個計畫!剛開始到高雄的時候,有點被當成外星人來看待,不過短短的2-3小時之內,差不多就不會尷尬了!再來就是報告的事情了,雖然中間有一件尷尬的事情,唉!不過我們竟然都沒有不好意思a!哈哈!!也很努力的在背跟複習,因為我們都知道,這是一個很慎重的計畫,最後再努力的補救之下練習也就告一段落了。

辛苦的還是老師,因為我們離開之前還看她正在努力的打報告,所以,真的看的出來,不管是老師還是學生,We will do our best to do everything.,晚上還待我們去吃飯還有逛街之類的。。。對我們很不錯,也玩的滿愉快的,也在此感謝鳳西國中201的同學們!謝謝你們的招待,也讓我快樂的度過第一天。

第2天的早上,一大早就去了要報告的場所,心中帶點緊張也帶點高興,緊張的是,要面對一堆人報告,開心的是,這一天讓我展現英文能力的時刻到了,。。。。。報告完了,雖然有很多美中不足的地方,不過。。。我們也都盡力了。

再來的行程就都是觀光PLAY的時刻啦!玩的都很愉快,到了晚上要隔宿露營囉!!滿高興的!也就因為這個晚會而認識了很多人,到了晚會結束就已經玩在一起囉!不過睡的一點都不好,不是地方問題!應該是。。。個人因素吧!或許是晚上吃火鍋的時候,吃到太生的東西或者是。。。之類的!再加上天氣又冷!所以就感冒了,晚上根本沒睡到。。因為跑去吐了,上吐下瀉!真的是滿慘的!

到了第3天早上!根本是沒有力氣了,因為晚上沒睡在加上身體不適,連早餐都不敢吃,結果一大早的,照樣跑廁所,天ㄚ。。一開始的城市導覽就快崩潰了,所以貼心的老師勒。。。就帶我去看醫生了,看完醫生之後有就跟著他們繼續玩囉,很開心!因為陸陸續續都有人關心我!感到滿欣慰的!
雖然一直不想想離開的事情,但是,其實每個人都知道,我們下午就要離開,就要結束行程了,在中間的過程突然之前!都變的很親近了!一點都感覺不到是認識不到3天的朋友!或許!這就是國際交流吧!到了離別的時刻了,雖然有百般的不捨,但是!天下無不散的筵席,我們還是在大家的離別聲中離開,大家的感覺都是很可惜的!其實是有機會再多待一天的,不過!不在預期之內!所以就離開了幸好!!有交換名片!所以目前跟高雄的人還有連絡!這是唯一感到開心的地方!

我的高雄之旅也就從上火車的那一剎那間!結束了。。。。
(總結!高興!成功)
