Forest logging

      This Saturday’s English writing class. We were talking about the forest logging issue in the textbook. I felt it is really bad things to the people who living in the earth. Did you think if we don’t have the fresh air to breathe in the future? It is terrible things to us. Maybe we will die soon no longer than we born. The human life will increase due to our logging. Now in some places of our country, a number of people have been cutting down the trees in the forests because they need wood and more farmland. The areas of forests are getting smaller and smaller. Some scientists say that there will be no vast forests in 20 or 30 years. It is really a terrible thing.

      Where the forests disappear, dust storms will occur occasionally. The weather will get hot and dry.  The whole earth will become a big desert. A lot of plants and animals will disappear. Crops will not grow anywhere. Life will be difficult for everyone. The human beings will be punished for their forest-destroying activities. Therefore, we should realize the importance of taking care of our forests. We should do our best to protect our living environment and keep our mountains green, the water clean, and the sky blue.

Monga(剝皮寮)

         This Saturday we went to Monga which place is the Taipei’s famous Mafia locates of Taiwan. We visited one of the place (剝皮寮) which was three big city in Taiwan long time ago. Tainan, Lu-gun and Mon-ga. That is we called three big cities. A lot of people said long-san temple place is near by this place. I think both place are Monga’s treasure because so many people come here for sightsee and eat the delicious Taiwan food.

Now, we could see the Monga has been rebuilt; it keeps the traditional culture and buildings. The famous movie Monga was also taking place here for the movie story. You could find many scenes that you feel familiar places such as movie scene. And there are small retail store in the street (剝皮寮) same as we live in the early Taipei city. It is very funny when you look around the lanes, you must have so many imagine in your mind, remind your covered memory again. Even it is so small place in the Taipei, but it did inspire me a lots. We need to keep the traditional place like this. 

Midterm News English

        Last month’s midterm test was not a typical day for me. It was difficult and frustrating. Sunday morning I was late for class. In the afternoon I made a lot of vocabulary mistakes in my News English test.Therefore, I had a frustrating examination. Late at night I was very tired. But I am glad that day is off soon!

The rest of the half day was also bad. In the evening I made a big mistake that I across the red traffic light. And I got the ticket.The reason was that I was worried about the terrible examination. It should be something wrong with my brain and it did not fix as usual. As a result, I fail in the test and got the ticket. After I studied at night to check the answer, I was happy. Because I felt the big stone was gone from my heart. I do understand what I am working! I took the exam reluctantly.  Unexpectedly, I passed it in my mind. When I realized, it was pm 1:00 and I went to bed and fell asleep.  What a terrible Sunday! 

Wake Up Early

 The winter is coming now. I always get up to work lately because I can’t get up on tome in the cold morning. And I also need more and more time to get the good quality sleep. But I try to go to bed early and wake up in the early morning for studying English. But I think it is the hard mission for me. As you know that early rising benefits us in many ways. Therefore, I want to do getting up early to reach my goal. 

 First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health. Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly. Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work. So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.

Solar Energy - New power

We have used the Sun for drying clothes and food for thousands of years, but only in recent. We have been able to use it for generating power. I think the solar energy will be widely used in the near future because the nature resource in the earth is decreasing soon. On the other hand, the population in the world is increasing fast. Therefore, human is developing the alternative energy such as solar energy industrial at this age. Now you can see many products around you but not efficiency. 

In fact, every minutes, Sun provides enough energy arrive at the Earth to meet our demands for a whole year. If only we could control it properly.that is our final work. That is why that textbook mentioned. Wide use of solar energy to produce electricity is probably decade away. But if we are not keeping progress, we won’t reach that day. Another important thing is the pollution issue. The solar energy is anti-pollution energy. It is benefit for the next generation.  

Cocktails

     There are hundreds of different cocktails, and there is no space here to list all the different names.


We usually taste the cocktails in the formal dinner, pub or banquet.

Cocktails that there is difference from the other normal wine because it tastes variety as sweet, sour or bitter especially for woman.

And that is why it is so popular in the Taiwan than in USA.



     Cocktails are "mixed drinks" which much stronger drink than beer.

You may see lots of the people drinking too much to fall asleep.

It is not a soft drink but it taste does, it is a wine. You should be watch out!

The information is from the paper of the magazine talked about the cocktails terminology.

It said that visitors may not be familiar with some of the terminology.

Such as “On the rocks", as you probably know, means with ice While "straight up" or "up" means neat and without ice.

It is a quite fun knowledge to me and I have ever seen it on the 007 movies.

ipod touch4

     I bought an ipod touch4. It is quite small than iphone4.


It is an iphone4 without GSM function.

But it provides Apple “facetime” that you can pass through “Wifi” to talk online such as video telephone,

Working with apply in Apple family only.

That is a shortcoming of the product.

Why it still so popular.

That is why I interested to buy the Apple product that so popular and fashion style machine.

I just want to say it’s just a new experience and new knowledge for tracing.



     Until now, I like listening music and making video for records.

It is really convenient when you needed.

It can download more 250000 games online.

You can play games when you are take the MRT or something else.

The other function is it can use as notebook, but it needs pass through Wifi.

I thought it very smart because it still gets lots of things that I don’t understand.

And I need more time to figure it out.

I treat it is a tools for adult.

Take it easy!

Restaurant : La pasta

The crowded places always have the delicious food surrounding.


You can find many famous restaurants near by the Zhong-San MRT station.

Therefore I like to survey delicious food around this locate.

The unexpected surprise always attracted me.

The surprising happened on these wonderful things and delicious food.

The restaurant is covered by the independent wall that made by wood in white.

It is quite obvious simple’s architecture in Europe style in the crowded lane.

As I knew this is new branch opening.



Then we decided to have the dinner in this restaurant tonight.

You can see the 90% consumers are women because it is near the department store and it is cute place I guess.

It needs to make a reservation before you have meal.

Otherwise you have to spend a lot of time to wait.

This is main reason that I want to try the Italian noodles in this restaurant.

When open the menu, you will see over 20 kinds of noodles for you could choice.

And the price is not expensive. After we finished the dinner, we stayed for chat and enjoy the music.

I felt that food is quite good; sorry! I don’t know how to introduce about the food,

But you will visit this restaurant again if you ever been there.

Accident

     The Wu and I have met more than ten years ago since I was student. It was a car accident happened in that day. It may be a little sad, but that day is still shake one. It is a rainy day, I felt everything bored. My heart is heavy, my thoughts are blue. When I saw the rain stops. I brought my package and went to school. And then I went to the bus station to take the bus.


     Blinking traffic lights shone on my way to school, I remember. At that time I saw the bike was pass through the crossroad. But the bus driver did not aware of it due to the rainy day. The bike driver just fall into the ground and got just a little bit hurt. I was scare when seeing the bike driver was gone in the front of the bus. I said a word:” shit”. I would not go to bus station if I knew then what I know now. I ask myself. I listen to bus driver ramblings as he stands by the bike till that guy"Wu"has gone. It was so shark to me that I can't forget the scene. It was the day we met.

The Wedding in Sheraton

I went to a wedding in the Sheraton Hotel yesterday; it is very nice place to place the wedding because it looks very luxurious hotel. It also gets the good stereo facilities, when the bride is walking into wedding lobby, the music sound coming from the sky. At that time, you can see the very big chandelier in front of you, the full of the colorful light spreading on the space; it is very beautiful such as you are going to the live show. I think the chandelier should cost about million new Taiwan dollars.

Let us go back to the dinner, it is delicious. The first part of the dinner that provides four different foods, there are beef, chicken, fish and vegetable. The beef is making by soya sauce in Taiwanese style, it is full of juicy for tasting, and it is my favorite. The second parts is soup of (佛跳牆), It is another food that I favorite. And then I was full, Therefore I didn’t eat anything. But I really like the dinner that Sheraton made. This wedding is wonderful.

Double Tenth National Day

     Double tenth national day is Birthday of the Republic of China,It is our country’s 99 year old birthday.I can’t believe that the time is so fast due to we will go into next 100 years old next year.Today is the special moment in my life, because I did the wonderful job in this year.We saw the news and shows from the TV that everyone is happy for this day.I am also happy because we could see the beautiful firework in the night.


     I remember that when I was kids.We will hold the national flag in front of the house in double tenth,And you can see the every house holding the flag in the lane. That is beautiful scene. I like to running in the lane which full of the flags such as the end of the racing game,I always imagine that I am a champion, I won the game. That is an age very difference from now, But I was thought it was just not long time ago.Memorize a lot of the things when I was young. Let me feel sad and blue at the moment,It tells us, we should grasp the time in every minutes.

Car Advertisement

This is a AD about the Car. The song was background music of car advertisement on TV.It is amazing that voice is so fresh when I heard at that moment.The song called“Bizarre Love Triangle”, It is talking about the young people triangle love,The woman is falling in love within depressed and moped feeling, The lyric mentioned: *The wisdom of a fool won't set you free*."The wisdom of a fool" dictates one to "fall in love";So says the proverb: Only fools fall in love.

It is really interesting to study the meaning of the lyric said,I think for a long time to figure out the meaning,And I realized why it uses in the background of car’s advertisement.It should let you know the car that likes the woman,It makes you crazy about it and lets you fall in love with it.This is an alternative way to tell the consumer the new product on marketing.It is good AD as the fresh voice!

Legend of the First Return of Chen Zhen

This film is talking about the Kong-Fu master's apprentice (Chen Zhen),Chen Zhen appears again in this continuance movie, He didn’t die when he was fighting with Japanese at end of the scenes on last story, Chen Zhen left the China to the Europe to escape the Japanese chase and kill, At that time is end of the World WAR 1. China’s government sends the people to Europe to helping allies'country in the WAR, So many China people die at the world war but it is not fighting for own country.After the few years past, Chen Zhen aware of that the biggest enemy isn’t in Europe it is still in China.Therefore he and his friends go back to Shanghai to save the country China.

The story is base on this structure and tells the east and west difference,I am very impressed the film that include new elements such as the BAT MAN movie.Bat Man is the hope for all of the people, who living in the city as if Chen Zhen living China,It inspires our patriotism, the feeling was gone for a long time but it is being found. I like this ending because it is special kind of the mood to me.

Typhoon

This summer we just met a typhoon (Fanapi).I saw the news yesterday that Fanapi was brought heavy rain to the province GuangDong in China.And heavy water damaged the city, village and downtown. The newspaper and mass media are warning and mentioned about the intensity is middle level.It let me think about the globe warming issue,
The weather report expert said that the typhoon will become stronger than before due to the globe warming issue.Therefore, I was worry about the Fanapi before it was toward to Taiwan,but it did bring the heavy rain,And it damaged Kaohsiung at South of Taiwan.
According to the research report of meteorologist that point the out the damaged conditions is quite serious.It is very terrible news to us (Taiwan people) because we live in the small island,And we could not escape from if the natural disaster,So, do we have any good tactics to solve the unknown natural disaster? I think our government should make the process to face the difficulty issues.

The Moon Festival

     This is Chinese traditional holiday,And it have a famous story of (嫦娥奔月 ) Chang's ascent to the Moon. You can refer to this link,(Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houyi . But I don’t to want to introduce it, I want to share this day of mine for you, We spent half day to ride a bike, when we reach the top of the mountain, We went to the coffee shop near the destination.

     This is a special day because of the moon festival.The boss ask we joint the BBQ (barbecue) with them, They provide the all food and equipment for the entire customer,Therefore all the people began to eat the BBQ.In the meanwhile, I saw some foreign friends spoken to the boss and their friends with smiling,I felt the boss'enthusiastic treatment,And I thought that is a wonderful Taiwanese culture isn't it!

The Korean food

The Korean food is very popular in Taiwan due to famous Korean TV program,Therefore no matter where you go in Taipei, you will find the Korean food is surrounding you, Especially in the night market,
I also like Korea food and prefer to eat a Korean hot-pot,
It made by white vegetable (Kimchi), To-Fu, spicy source and thin pork
And it taste like Taiwan hot-pot but it got a little bit sour because of the Kimchi, I also love to eat Kimchi very much, You know if you want to live longer just eat, It is the most famous food from the Korea.

Do you know why they always made the Kimchi? There is a friend who told me only can grow the farm once per year in KOREA, Because they have the severe winter in the winter time,So the Korean must to use the way to reserve the vegetable for their winter food.That it is the traditional culture and spreading to special Korea food to the world.

New Reading Strategy

Reading strategy is a new studying skill for me, I have never used this skill in English studying, however I get in touched with Gregory’s alternative reading strategy class, I learn some new skills which is easier to me to understand paragraph. I like to use “Using Context Clues” to reading and studying the context because it is quite efficient to me to comprehend the content, I can pass the difficult words and guess the meaning of the sentence to know what is the essay talking about, and then I am trying to use the “Summary the Gist” to sum up what I learn from the context. Now, I could read essay without stop at a difficult word and review paragraph in reading again and again, it is really help me a lots.
No matter which is the best way, we find the suitable method is important, my reading problem is checking the dictionary too frequency when studying English therefore I even gave up the subject during the time. After I join the Lunghwa University to study, I learn the different way from before, so I would like to share the words” Actions speak louder than words, where there is a will, there is a way”. Never give up.

Diary (huge pressure)

The semester is just beginning, but I have already felt huge pressure from this week.We need to study very hard everyday due to we have new 6000 English vocabulary need to remember in your brain.It is from two different subjects TOEIC and News Vocabulary.And we have done the TOEIC listening test last Saturday;I get the low scores that I can’t even speak to anyone.
Maybe some other teachers assign another homework need to do, and then we have the big trouble,I mean that time is not enough to us,
Oh My God! I cannot imagine what will happen in this semester, I am not sure the others classmate feel the same as I thought. This is a terrible season in this semester.

MOD

Many people think the cable TV provide the too many mess channel for watching,Therefore I exchanged the supplier to 中華電信 MOD channel ,
They provide the few basic channels that you don’t want to see,
Especially the channel about the Buddhism,But you can watch the hi-definition channel,Such as the sport channel, it provide the best sports game,If you like to watch MLB or NBA, Hi definition channel is better than cable,I think that is your best choice.And that is good enough to cover the rest poor TV shows.
Second,If you had added payment channel in MOD, you could choice lots of your favorite channel.National Geographic channel is my favorite channel and best choice,It leads us to understand the earth, animals, countries, society cultures and so on … This is best education channel for the family, After we watching the MOD channels, We avoid hearing the many politics news and political party news issue.I feel good because we return to the normal society life,I think it is good for our children and family.

Earthquake

Did you feel the Earthquake? I think it is very terrible experience to Taiwan’s people,Just few days ago; we had an earthquake near the Taipei.We felt the big shake on the fourth floor, but I’m glad the earthquake wasn’t a high-intensity one.Newscaster reports about an earthquake that occurred at 4:35 p.m. in the downtown area. Seismologist at the Earthquake Center and learned that the earthquake had a magnitude of 3.2 on the Richter scale.

The epicenter was near Taipei, along one of the major faults, and the seismologist warns that there will be some aftershocks. This situation is always same as before, therefore,We need to rescue for these damaged areas and people quickly,To save the people is government responsibility.
We look forward to those years, the natural disaster happened again and again,It took so many people’s life and broken our families,We should think about the globe warning brings a lot of disaster issues,I wish they could predict more accurately when those earthquakes are going to happen.

Refit the bike

Refit the bike, that is difficult job because you need to find fit components. Second, how to let the works and refits on you? you also need to consider the outlook issues, therefore, I spent a lot of time to survey the parts to fit the bike during the summer vocation. The size and color issues are most important thing, too big or too small are not allowance, and these annoying things are always happening again and again.
For this reason, I decide to visit the bike store to solve my problems, after the 2 weeks long, I receive the good news from the bike store, and they help me to find the suitable parts of bike. To have a long distance riding, I need to change the position of bike’s head to fit my body; finally, I have done the job with my favorite bike.

Young-Ming Mountain (風櫃嘴)

This is the famous place for riding bicycle on the top of the Young-Ming Mountain. The place that provide the flat road and nice view for mountain biking, therefore, many bike rider would like to visit this place, and also there are many bike game hold on this place. My colleague and I are like to visit here, too.
We are usually get together at 7-11 near National Palace Museum (故宮博物院) in the early morning, we may take some breakfast or water here, this is our stating point , from departure to destination distance around 7.5 kilometer totally, the second station for resting is Fong-Lin bridge(楓林橋). Before the bridge is the normal slope road, pass the bridge, you will begin to climb the mountain, now, you have to switch gear to light level for moving on the mountain, through this exercise that we could strengthen the heart and lungs functions, but we have to watch out our heart beating rates by speed / heart beating machine to control in normal exercise condition, shouldn’t overload the on your body, following the rule, we will get healthy body and enjoy the biking.

Night Market

Night Market is the places which provide the people shopping, food and drink
That is Taiwan special local culture. You can shop clothing you need for the best price and eat any kinds of food you like on the street. You have to learn how to bid with the seller on the street. And then you could get the better price for the stuff you choose.
I like to eat traditional food in night market because it is really delicious and cheap,The other reason is that you can eat many kinds of food at the same block,
This is different from the restaurant, crowded people, cars full of the street, Loud music swallows the speaking voice, which is also unique life style culture in Taiwan.

Music Party

It is an interest party because we are getting together to listen the music, they are my brother’s friends, they chat on the music forum to know each other in the internet, share their favorite music, what kinds of the band are good or bad, why you don’t like the album or why this is the good album , you will know the reason after their explain and analyze the detail in music section, which song is the classic, who is the best instrument player and who is the soul of the band we are talking and sharing our experience to let anyone who want to know more about this fascinated music world, therefore, it is really different and funny music party.

Taiwanese Rock band - Red Ant ( 紅螞蟻合唱團 )

I would like to introduce a song that is coming from the Taiwanese Rock band Red Ant in 1993. I am fascinated with the song which name called Memory(祭), it tells about the deep inside memory of mother, the voice listened cold and sad, the music goes along with sad guitar sound which appeared the something deep inside the heart. The blues melody and improvise guitar solo that show the how deep feeling memory of the mother, and it also shows the truly human emotion which sometimes need to release pressure appropriately, the music sounds just like crying, screaming and suffering, the lyric had same as the meaning and feeling. Through the music reaction to show emotion that is the spirit of rock n roll, that is why the rock music can still alive.
I think this the most wonderful blues song in early Taiwan pop music world. The BAND just got short time to perform their rock song in that time due to the lead-vocal needs to go to army, but it brought the great moment for a decade of century.

Fu-lung(福隆)

Fu-lung is a place at north-east of Taiwan, it has many stories about the coal(煤). How to get there? You can take by the train to Fu-lung, it is very convenience.From Taipei to Fu-lung just spend around one and half hours. I love the small country located between mountain and sea because you can enjoy both nature view and easy to catch beautiful pictures. I heard Fu-lung lunch box is very famous in Taiwan, so I bought it to taste, yes, it is delicious, I will describe it taste same as grandmother cooked.

As I mentioned about the coal at the beginning, the small country got a lot of coal to dig long time ago; therefore, we could pass through the tunnel by walk or bicycle today. To feel the history scene, it is very unbelievable that tunnel is so long and it across the two county in Taiwan.

The end of the tunnel is the great ocean, which is the beautiful view as I said in front of you; it is wonderful travel memory again deep in my life.

Kent Ding

Kent Ding is located in the south of Taiwan and it is a famous place to have a watering exercise.I love the beach and sands, walking along the coast, listening the wave singing, touching the sunlight, relaxing your mind. Enjoy the natural which is wonderful moment in our life. Feeling the wind blow with ocean’s breath, such as we have a communication with God
I like to imagine that I lie down in the ocean and do nothing as if the movie scene let the body floating with waves to release stress out. Have you ever thought about that is the best way to cure our mind? I don’t know but I guess it is.
Taiwanese food is delicious and cheap, there are also many local foods for taste; Night-Market is also famous, so many clothes, pants attract your vision, especially the young girls with bikini. To buy some souvenirs as gift to friends and family will be nice memory.

hahahe Bicycle game

I went to Hua Lien to joint the hahahe bicycle game this summer
It is second time that I joint the bicycle game
It is a challenge exercise for the people who love the riding bicycle

The game exhausted body endurance and mind concentrate
You will meet a lot of situations in the game
In this time I got a flat tire issue when I ‘m just climbing the mountain
I ‘m feel sad because I thought I can’t finished the game
After a while I meet the competition that he help me to fixed the problem
We use simple tools to exchange the tire
Then I call the bus to take me to the pits station to inflate tire

Now, I ‘m on the road again and feel so good
I passed though lots of the small rock road and climbing the small bull mountain( 小牛山)
After that I turned to the highway #9 along the coast
You can see the blue ocean at your right side and endless highway in front of you
This is the hardest parts of the game because the temperature is getting higher and higher
And you could not find the a cool place to hide
I felt that I’m going to explode if I still keep going
In that meantime I knew I need to take a rest but I didn’t

Finally, I mean that I don’t know how many times pass by
I saw the Hwa–Lien Bridge appears
It shows that I am going to the destination soon
So I tried to run fast as I could but the true is not as you imaged
And then I exhausted the my energy again
Actually, it still cost about 5 kilometers to ride
After take few minutes to take a rest
I use all of the strength to finish the game
It is so happy to see the destination

Summer holiday

Summer holiday always go fast,I feel the time is not enough for playing as same as I was a child,even I am an adult. I think I don’t arrange time very well because I always left my homework in the end of the holiday, so I am going to make a change, I try to use one week to collect the data for my homework, then I could finish the homework on next week. then I could relax in the rest vacation but I don’t let it working in this time.
I was too busy to have leisure time for it,But I want tosay “Thanks!” to our teacher even this is an annoying work, It let me have time to think what I am done in the past few weeks, What things are really needs to take care? What problems of mine need to solve and prevent? What goals need to reach? I have never done this before. After that I felt I become more polite and smoother to the people around me.It is so magic to me in this moment.I think this is a big present that I got in this vacation.

Lait, Mensonges et Propagande, 牛奶，謊言與內幕

I saw the new about Milk issue (Lait, Mensonges et Propagande, 牛奶，謊言與內幕)
It introduce the MILK have a lots of defect to our body
We should not drink milk too much because it will corrode bone
Due to it is acid kind of food
The theory was just found by scientist
We can control the food that we eat to avoid the issues
But I think it is hard to change our mind
The people thought the milk is healthy food have been established for a long time
In The other hand the people who love to drink and eat cheeses
Especially the people who living in the West Countries side
So many food were made by milk related products
Such as PIZZA, breads, ICE CREAM, cheeses and spaghettis sources etc…
It almost become our main food
So I am wondering!
How the way that we could efficiency control milk products food for our healthy?

Beef Noodle

I want to introduce famous foot in Taiwan, beef noodle, which is the one of my favorite food, you can taste it any time and everywhere that you want, it is easier to cook. I want to share with you, first, you have to prepare some noodles, soya sauce, ginger, onion, crystal sugar, alliums, garlic and fresh beef, and then put the alliums and garlic into the pot with cooking oil (salad oil), then use “HOT Oil” to cook onion, ginger and beef within few minutes, the purpose is to eliminate the bad or offensive smells, second put beef, water and seasoning into the electric pot, and use the small steam to cook within few hours. Third, use the clean hot water to cook noodles in few minutes, and then mixed the noodles and beef, finally put alliums in small pieces on noodle, and then a delicious and nutrition beef noodle is done.

Morning People / Night People

      There are some difference between the morning people and night people, some people follows the maxim of early to bed, early to rise that we call “ morning people”, whereas others seem to get along fine five or six hours a night and prefers to stay up late that we call “night people” also “night owls”.

      For example, morning person need to get a lot of sleep. In contrast, a night person gets little sleep. a second habit of difference is that morning person feels bright and cheery to be ready to face the day in the morning even before having a cup of coffee, however night person energetic at night, feels to function better and often very productive during the evening hours, and sleep in the next morning when it is possible, when it is not, they try to find time to take a nap if they need it. Night people often feel tired and cranky at the breakfast table in the morning.

      Morning people always take positive think and activity way to their life, but night people reverse because their living style and thought.

Lyric:

I waited 'til I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come



When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching teardrops in my hand



My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever



Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road along



My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever



Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

Deep Purple in Taiwan

Deep purple in Taiwan sounds very weird, because it is very different kind of music with Taiwanese's music style, As you can see that popular music around us so many years, and we have no such kind background for hard rock music affected, So I was wondering the concert performing with the old people interactive, it should be got unbelievable situation.


I do like Deep Purple music very much; I think it is the great rock band that you should not miss in the world, But I won't to go to the concert in Taipei because I afraid to hear the Ian's vocal broken, and the guitar player is not Blackmore,The song that I usually hear was Child In Time, it brings me a lot of memory when I was young , and I am still fascinated this song, especially live version, the album In Rock also is the greatest album that I have ever heard.


The band has gone through many line-up changes. It labeled Mark I, II, III and IV, I like mark II most, that is the reason why I give up to visit my hard rock hero concert, but I am so glad to hear the Deep Purple come to Taiwan, it should bring the fans wonderful music, and I wish more and more good rock bands coming for performance in Taiwan.
