台灣參訪行程



台灣大學個案研討及書法練習----學術及文化參訪之旅 



ASU學生在台灣鶯歌學做陶瓷的認真神情



台灣參訪行程即將進入尾聲,非常感謝學術界及企業界好友鼎力相挺,
此行二十位美國學生對台灣有了一番新的解讀,他們都覺得台灣人非常友善及熱情,
所到之處風光明媚,食物多元美味(除了鳥骨雞,帶頭蝦...不敢品嚐.哈哈哈).....
摘取其中二位美國學生的部落格留言...

This is our last day in Taiwan. Tomorrow morning we leave for Tokyo. This has to be the saddest day I have seen in a long time. I came to Taiwan, not knowing what to expect. I was so looking forward to going to Tokyo, but now I find myself wanting to stay here in Taipei. I have had so much fun since I got here. I have met so many wonderful people. All the locals are so nice and helpful.

We're edging closer and closer to our departure from Taiwan. I'm going to miss Taipei so much. This city has an endless supply of sights, sounds, smells (sheesh some of the smells I could do without), and great people.

若是您對他們此趟的行程及台灣留給他們的印象是如何有興趣的話,您可以進入.

了解多元的文化,不論語言、飲食、人際關係、生活方式,
學習開放、包容、尊重。

Happy Mother's Day



Lynne的導師趕在母親節前舉辦了一場感人的Party,在場的每位母親都感動的痛哭流涕,聽著兒女們對母親的感恩話語,句句動人心弦,不禁令人讚嘆小小年紀的他們可以向母親面對面的抒發情感….媽媽我愛您,媽媽您是我的最愛在美國長大的小孩總是可以把這麼窩心的話語一再重覆著天籟之音百聽不厭….時值母親節,女兒寫了一封我的母親來抒發她對媽媽的心情,挺好的

芳菁

My Mother

You are pretty & extraordinary,

You wonder about my future,

You hear the pot sizzling with food,

You see me getting off the bus,

You want me to have a good education,

You are pretty & extraordinary.

You pretend to be in Taiwan,

You feel the love I give you,

You touch your children’s hearts,

You cry about sad news,

You are pretty & extraordinary.

You understand how I feel,

You say rules about manners,

You dream about your past,

You try to make me happy,

You hope to start a business,

You are pretty & extraordinary.

Your daughter Lynne Chen (4th Grade)
