Ayusa 國際愛優生文化交流協會

今年，來美國剛好遇到我的十八嵗生日，就這樣，我體驗不同的國家的文化，也體驗到不同的生日會。就拿我的轟家來説吧，我們傢的傳統規定是每年家庭成員都會得到一個轟媽親手做的生日蛋糕，代表轟媽對家人的愛。

於是，在我生日的前兩天，也就是周末，轟爸媽幫我辦了一個小的生日派對，幫我準備了很多好吃的東西，也為我準備了水餃跟春卷，甚至因爲我一句我想要冰淇淋蛋糕，轟爸在我的生日派對上特別跑去買了一個；那個禮拜轟媽因爲脊椎受傷在病床上躺了一個禮拜，卻因爲我的生日派對，忍痛起床幫我打理一切，盡他一切的力量讓我的生日過的完美。

這是我的朋友們，有來自不同國家的，也有當地的美國人；當然，也包括了我的妹妹，一副模特兒的樣子，充滿信心的，雖然有時，實在是做了一些讓人生氣的事，但是，這次生日她讓我覺得很sweat哦，學了生日快樂的中文，整個派對一直念的，還教我的朋友怎麽說，還蠻可愛的。

這天我們聊天，吃東西，玩遊戲等等，沒有聚會的狂歡，沒有盛大的慶祝，但我卻已經滿足了，有轟爸媽的愛，有朋友的祝福，我的18嵗生日就是最完美的了! 我很慶幸我來到美國，我沒有後悔，因爲我很幸福，這一年，我相信一切都會很美好，我會帶滿美好的回憶，快樂的回去。

GA Trip 10/03-06/08

10/04/08-The Stone Mountain Park

We went to the Stone Mountain Park today. Carty’s brother in law told me that it has the biggest rock ever found in the world. We went up to the top of the huge rock by telpher. I took several good pictures. We went on a short ride on a train after that. I think one of the most interesting things that we did is that we went rock climbing. In fact, I never tried it before. The other interesting thing is we went to the biggest laser show in the world. The trip was great and exciting.

10/05/08-The Six Flags

We went to Six Flags in GA today. It was fun and fantastic. I took almost all of the rollercoasters.

10/06/08- The GA Aquarium

We went to GA Aquarium today. I think the trip was just fine. The thing that made me surprised is that there was a Taiwan introduction inside the aquarium. I was happy to see that. We also went to the Olympic Park. And the CNN Center. I bought a cup of coffee and sit in the building. That felt relax. I kind of like this trip to GA.

10/09/08-West  Wing Extended Care

We went to the hospital for the academy’s community service program again. I think this time is better because they gather the elders in a room. So we could walk around the room and talk to every people. I think I learn lots of things since I got here. Even if I wanted to go to the public school, I don’t think that is a bad idea to stay in this academy. There are always lots of thing to do and I believe that most of them are nice. For example, the community service program it has is never been seen in the public school. I mean the public school wouldn’t put the service program in one of the regular course. That’s definitely really special. I really like this school so far.

10/10/08- The Taiwanese National Day Video Presentation

Today is Taiwanese National Day. Of course, we are going to give a presentation to the school. We decided to give a presentation with videos. I downloaded the video before I left home this morning. But it wouldn’t work after I got to the academy. So Ryan and I went in town. We spent our lunch time in Dowgs Den because they got the wireless Int. Well, it went quite well, actually. We used two lap-tops to perform it. I think we discovered another good way to introduce Taiwan.

10/10/08- The local newspaper

The lady who works for the local newspaper came and had meeting with us because she need to write about the exchange student. We wore the Taiwanese shirt and gave her a couple reports that we have made already. 

10/13-15/08-The camping trip

The academy has a camping trip program this week. We went to the Lakeside State Park in Scott City. It was humid and cold, but we still had a lot of fun. I went hiking at midnight three times. We have gospel every morning and evening. Believe me, I tried my best to stay awake from that. Well, I think the trip was nice and fun. Although the weather was bad, I still like it. The next camping trip will be one year after. I will not be in the U.S. then. But I have already promised Kerry and Larry that I am going to RETURN here. If I have a chance. I say IF!!!

10/27/08-Culture sharing

  I went to Glinda’s house. They had a small meeting there. Glinda went to Kerry’s shop and asked me if I could give a little speech. I thought that would be a good chance to introduce Taiwan. So I said yes. I brought my violin with me. I played a couple songs before the speech. The speech went out pretty good. It was a good meeting.
