Activated

Sometimes I recall the places I've been to,especially for the places abroad.

I spent only short terms of time there,many of them are far away from Taiwan,and I can't help but think of them from time to time.

I thought of Frankfurt today.There were a few images poping out in my brain which featured Frankfurt's street sights.

It was vivid,I can still recall how I got lost in the night in Frankfurt and how I got out of it.

There's a Chinese saying goes"Read tens of thounds of books and travel tens of thounds of miles." You travel to prove what you've learned and improve what you haven't known. You read to know what you haven't know and travel to prove it.

That's the beauty of learning. You assume you have got the idea,you don't until you are actually got involved in it. When you're invoved,you dig more to find out what have confused you and afterwards answer yourself.

If I have never been to Frankfurt,I wouldn't know the difference between Paris and it,and I wouldn't try to figurt out the reason and thus lose an opportunity to get a closer tight with that city.

So it's activated. Amazingly lured by the machanism of learning and human curiosity. So is the beauty of learning!

Yummy!

Here in Taiwan,we have lots of Chinese cuisines. Deep in roots,many people inherit great skills in making tasty foods from their families. Noodles are several delicious Chinese foods worth talking about.

I like noodles,especialy for Beef Noodle and Wonton Noodle. Since Beef Noodle is kind of expensive to try (the price per bowl is between 2 to 4 US dollars,normally),I would instead order Wonton Noodle.

Wonton,looking like another kind of dumling,is great to eat when you have it with noodles. With the smell of meat inside it and the steam coming out from the soup,it's very enjoyable to have it. It's the essence of Chinese food.

Alas! Good Wontons are less seen these days among eateries along streets. Good Wontons are often hand-made,and they're gradually replaced with cheap ones made by machines. So it's common that one may order and have a bowl of Wonton Noodle which is without "soul". And thus having it with a pity.
