Millet and his Time:
Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay is a special exhibition of selected 19th
century paintings and photographs from the collection of the Musée d’Orsay,
France. It will be from May 31 to September 5, 2008 and consists of 70
masterpieces, 16 of which are Millet’s, including the well-knownGleaners and
Angelus, to be exhibited all together for the first time in Taiwan. In addition to
Millet, his Barbizon colleagues such as Corot, Rousseau and Dupré, as well as
those who came under his influence such as Breton and Hédouin, are represented
as well. For a better understanding of the rural life of 19th century France, the
exhibition also includes 21 original photographic works of the mid 19th century
as an interesting reference to the rural scenery depicted by Millet and other
Barbizon artists.
I am happy that there is an exhibition about the one of the most famous painting.
I like to go to museum to see artistic creations. It makes me update myself and
gain more knowledge from visiting exhibitions. I had seen Miller’s paintings
before, but they are all copies. I am exciting to see the original one! I will go to
see this exhibition recently~ ^^
I heard that our president had seen this exhibition, and he stood in front of
the painting for a long time. I hope that I can see the painting for a long time,
too. Ha~Ha~ Every time I went to famous exhibition, there are so many people
so that I can't watch the artistic creation carefully. Maybe I will go on Monday
to Friday to avoid the situation that "people mountain people sea". Ha~
If you also like art, you should go visiting it. I think it must be spectacular.

7.8-magnitude quake rocks China
Oh my god! How a terrible news! When I look this news, I am almost heartbreaking.
The following is news summary:
A massive earthquake in central China yesterday killed at least 7,000 people in Sichuan
Province, with the overall death toll expected to increase sharply. Xinhua news agency said 80
percent of the buildings had collapsed in Beichuan County and that another 10,000 people were
believed hurt there.
The epicenter was in Sichuan, striking 92km northwest of the provincial capital of Chengdu.
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit in the middle of the afternoon — when classes and offices
were full.
It’s hard to believe that such terrible thing will happen. Making me feel that
human’s life is very fragile. We are hardly to fight against the power of nature,
and it usually can’t be predicted. We can’t know what will happen next
second. It’s all depends on the will of god. What we could do is to reduce the
harm that we cause.
I always feel that the technology now day will solve many things, like predict the
occurrence of earthquake. This event makes me feel that technology is limited
to the nature.
The whole city destroyed by the earthquake. It’s really hard to image! I hardly
believe that it is true. And it’s so close to us. This event makes me bring 921
earthquake’s image to mind. So many people dead and so many people hurt.
The situation in China is worsening than us several times. I am scared to seen
these scenes, and I hope it’s better not happen again.

Bike smiling!!
The news is from the blog : David on formosa--4 May is Bike Day
The following is my summary and some opinions of mine.
The bike month is May each year, and the bike day is on May fifth. In this day, every
city and county will attend this activity with great enthusiasm. Now day, People pay
more and more attention to become health, earn more leisure time and do good
thing to environment. This activity fit the life attitude of most modern people. It’s
held in order to make citizens enjoy riding bicycle.
“Bike smiling” is a slogan in the activity. I think it means that people should feel
happy in this activity and be healthier. Besides, I think smile is a very good attitude
toward life. It’s a behavior easy to do and will make things easier.
The person who wants to be environment-friendly will interest in this news. I think that
people like riding bike or willing to do benefit to the environment will attend this
activity together.
It’s a well exercise outside. Riding bike on road is more leisure and ease than a
scooter. In my childhood, I like to ride bike beside the farmland and enjoy the gentle
touches of breeze and sunshine. This activity is a good opportunity to call on people
doing healthy and right thing. I am happy to see this good thing happened. It means
that there are many people trying to protect the earth. If I have a bicycle next year,
I will invite some friends to attend this activity.

World Vision Taiwan hopes to make prayers heard
163 children came to Taiwan to perform in a prayer concert organized by World Vision
Taiwan today. The children — from Mongolia, the Philippines, Swaziland, Romania,
El Salvador, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, India, Ecuador and Taiwan
— are recipients of World Vision Taiwan’s humanitarian aid programs.Some of the
prayers will be accompanied by music and sung by the children at the concert.
The post is from :http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2008/05/03/2003410937
Every time I saw the news about World Vision, I will pay much attention. It’s really
a well organization that dedicated to help children in whole world. My classmates in
senior high school and I have sponsored a child in Ecuador. We just need to pay 700
hundred a month to help him, but for him that it’s a really great support. We had
written a letter to him and he had written back to us with his photo. He is so cute. I feel
so touched.
I feel that this activity is positive and meaningful. I believe that our sponsorship not
only offer children support but also offer them the food for mind. The theme is “Pray
for Chang”. I think every child has their own heartfelt wishes. In their prayer, I saw
that there are many children suffer in pain and live in bad status. The sponsor and
kindhearted behavior will bring them support and huge hope about future.
In nowadays society, some guy would use people’s kindness to cheat them of their
money or even body. That makes some people have fears to help people. I hope
these events will reduce that will make our society more positive.
I trust that world vision is a great group to help children. I wholehearted support this
activity. Because there are so many children on the earth cannot go school, eat
food, and even wear a cloth. You can help someone else until you have ability.
That will be better and will not become another burden. We have such great bliss
to own so many things, so we should not be close to someone really need help.

City gov't urged to control number of taxis
A Taipei City Council member urged the city government yesterday to impose a
ceiling on the number of taxis in the capital city in view of the high vacancy rate of
the cabs and the traffic problems they cause.
from:http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/local/taipei/2008/04/19/152591/City%2Dgov%27t.htm
Everywhere I go in Taiwan, there are always many Taxis. Taxi driver become a hot
job due to those people who can’t find other jobs. This phenomenon actually brings
out so many problems. Taxi drivers had high frequency that violates the traffic rules.
When they compete for business, they are usually speeding and illegal parking.
And bad quality of taxi driver causes danger to the passengers and pedestrians.
On the other side, it’s only way that they can earn enough money to raise family.
It’s hard to make a conclusion that which point of this issue is right. I think some
taxi drivers should cultivate their mind and observe the rules at least, because the
safety of passengers is the responsibility of drivers. The solution of an excess of
taxi is to create better job opportunities so that many taxi drivers will have more
choices. It actually causes the burden of society.

Current Events:Kaohsiung MRT commuter numbers skyrocket
"Commuter numbers have skyrocketed in the first week since the opening of
Kaohsiung's mass rapid transit (MRT).
The MRT company and city government host some performances of bands
and singers to attract Kaohsiung youths.
Residents in Kaohsiung can take free rides in trial runs until April 6."
The news resource from
http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/local/kaohsiung/2008/03/16/147418/Kaohsiung%2DMRT.htm
I am glad to see this news. It's an important mass transit in Kaohsiung city.
I am a kaohsiung resident, but I study at north Taiwan. I usually ride the MRT
in Taipei to go to many places, so I think that the MRT in Kaohsiung could
bring residents great convenience.
Kaohsiung is a beautiful city which fills with romantic atmosphere.
The KMRT(kaohsiung MRT) stations’ shape symbolize the spirit of
Kaohiung. I believe that Kaohsiung city will become more convenient,
complete, and attractive. I hope the problem of air pollution will reduce
so that our life quality will be better.
By traveling with KMRT, I wish that this beautiful harbor city could be
well-known some day.
I had introduced some Kaohsiung’s night view in February posts
last year. Just take a look if you want to know more about Kaohsiung!

cook cook!
The picture is fromhttp://www.sc.xinhua.org/content/2004-09/27/xinsrc_1109012711345461364919.jpg
First, you should prepare ingredients you need included cooked rice, ketchup,
Last time, I went to my aunt’s coffee shop. She cooked many dishes to treat me,
and I love the “egg-over-rice” most. It’s delicious, but it’s a little expensive.
It is 120 dollars a dish in her coffee shop. But finally I realized that cook a delicious
one by ourselves is so easy if you follow these steps.
First, you should prepare ingredients you need included cooked rice, ketchup,
eggs, some meat diced, onion diced, and pepper. Second, you should fry the meat
diced and onion until it almost well-done. After that, you should put the cooked
rice in and spread ketchup on the cooked rice and mix it well. The amount of
ketchup is adjustable. All depends on how much you like ketchup; moreover,
ketchup is the main key to this dish. The third step is to fry eggs. You should
stir two or three eggs and fry eggs to be big and flat shape. Finally, it’s time to
put the fried rice on the half side of egg and make another side over it. Pepper
and ketchup could be added on the top of it to increase palatability.
As you can see, egg-over-rice is quite simple to make. After I know how to cook it,
I can make it by myself anytime if there is a kitchen. You can try to make one
and follow these directions.
I hope that you will like it!
