Funner Baseball Culture in Taiwan

Do you feel that watching baseball game in America is very boring? I do. Because watching it in Taiwan is much more interesting. The baseball in Taiwan is considered as a national sport. In America, it is one of the most well-liked sports. They both have their own baseball culture. Thus, there are some similarities and differences of baseball cultures between the U.S. and the Taiwan.

The baseball in Taiwan and America are both a very popular sport. Some parts of baseball watching cultures are similar. For example, both of them have professional leagues, so they both consider that is a kind of entertainment. In addition, crowds in both countries will drink beer during the games. It is just like drinking in the bar. Another, people in America will support their team and try every method to bother the other team which is same as the Taiwan. This is the most interesting part during a game. So, some parts of baseball culture are similar or the same.

However, some of them are very different. First, it doesn’t have very obvious home team in Taiwan in contrast that people in American will support a team in their state. Therefore, people in Taiwan just support a team they like. By this reason, each team owns half of the crowds in the stadium in contrast to whole same team supporters in America. Another, watching games in America spend too much waiting some happen and doing nothing. On the other hand, because of supporters of two teams are in the same stadium in Taiwan, we will sing, shout slogans, and it also has music played by a band to keep high morale. On the whole, the most different parts result from the difference of supporters in stadium.

Although there are some differences and similarities between the baseball cultures of two countries, the America and the Taiwan, everyone in the country still enjoys watching the games. If possible, people in America ought to experience the baseball culture in Taiwan and enjoy crowds of two teams fighting against. You will absolutely fall in love with the culture in Taiwan.

My favorite place at UW

The driving range which is next to IMA is my favorite place at UW. Driving range is a place that people can exercise golf there. It isn’t like a regular golf course. It just has an oblong court with nets surrounding it to prevent golf balls from flying out of it. It can be separated into three parts, one is an oblong place for long distance shot, another one is pitching green for short distance and the last one is putting green for very short distance that can practice pushing balls into a hole. Besides, it is a very good place to exercise whether it is a sunny or raining day and whole range is full of grasses. Because of these reasons if you stand there, you will feel comfortable and happy. In short, it is a place that can not only work out but also let you feel wonderful.

I Am Poem

I am strong and polite
I wonder when someone challenges me
I hear that he begs for mercy
I see blood dripping
I want just victory
I am strong and polite

I pretend to respect everyone
I feel world is at peace
I touch the heart beating
I worry about world will be changed
I cry for a war
I am strong and polite

I understand that you need me
I say “Don’t be afraid”
I dream about the future
I try to protect you
I hope you can come with me
I am strong and polite

My first time flew to US

It was my first time to fly to US this time. It also was the longest trip in my life. Otherwise, It had something happened to me and make me so impressed on this trip. At first, I went to airport with a huge suitcase. When I checked in, I found out that my luggage was overweight. If I had had another suitcase at that time, I could separate it into two and then it would have been fine. Since I didn’t, I needed to pay extra $30 just for my overweight luggage. Then, I got on the flight and had a window seat. Originally, I thought I could see outside views while the plane was flying. However, when flight took off, the attendant asked me to pull down the sunblind because of sunshiny. In addition, two young ladies sat next to me. Both of them started sleeping and didn’t wake up until the flight landed. I never left my seat and I couldn’t go to restroom for eleven hours. I felt uncomfortable and exhausted at that time. Finally, I arrived my home-stay house and I slept for the next two days. I’ll never forget this trip and always remember to choose an aisle seat when I have a long flight. It also left a deep memory and experience in my mind.
