Baron Huang 黃婉妮, a

third year Leisure and

Recreation Management

student at DYU, reviews

a Kaohsiung restaurant’s

desserts.

Recently, I visited a very

famous dessert shop in

Kaohsiung. Luckily, I was

able to visit it on a week-

day when it was not too

busy.

This dessert shop is an all-

you-can-eat buffet. The

handmade desserts are

really very attractive and

tasty. I high recommend

that you eat here on your

next visit to Kaohsiung.

My first stop after arriving

in Magong (Makung), Penghu

was breakfast at the new Mos

down by the harbour with a

great view of a harbour pier

and out to sea (as you can

see from the photo above).

The tables here were particu-

larly noteworthy (as you can

see from the starfish, coral,

seashells and sand under the

glass table top in the photo

below).

Just behind Mos was an old

Japanese colonial era building

with a beautifully majestic

looking tower (as you can see

in the photo on the right).

Penghu also has some of the

oldest and most ancient

buildings in Taiwan (R.O.C.)

Hidden inside a maze of

narrow lanes and alleys in

one of the many small

villages on the main island of

Penghu I found a small court-

yard house of particular

historical significance.

This was once the home of

one justifiably proud Penghu

gentleman who passed an

imperial Chinese exam. His

degree is displayed above the

main central door of his

courtyard home (as you can

see in the photo below and

on the top of the next page).

teacher (in photo on the

I could not resist taking a

peek inside one of the round

windows into the courtyard

(as you can see in the photo

below).

This courtyard house was

little more than a ruin when I

worked in Penghu (2008—

2010) at National Penghu

University 國立澎湖科技大學.

I am really very happy to see

it renovated so beautifully.

house’s roof. This room is so small I only just manage to step in! I drop my back-pack and other luggage, jump into a shower and get ready for my first day on campus at an English lan-guage school in Brighton, UK.

My school lies next to the gorgeous pebble beach of Brighton Pier. I pranced through the campus gate, beside many other new students. There were students speaking French, Czech, German, Spanish, and various other tongues.

On campus, I forced myself not to speak Mandarin Chinese by staying with

章愷峰, a first year

student of Indus-

trial Design

工業設計學系 at

DYU, tells us

about his study

trip to the UK.

Upon reaching Heathrow

airport, London, UK, I am filled with excitement. Yet I am here for study and will stay with a host family in Brighton.

In the host family there is a pretty kitten named Tom. The house is filled with the most lovely old wooden furniture. However, I will be staying with several other students in a bath-room sized attic in the

classmates who could not speak it in order to improve my English conversation skills which led me to make a lot of new friends from around the world.

Most of the time, we study together, eat together, shop together, and at night even party together! We never stayed in Brighton on week-ends but would go out to explore the UK. During our time on the train, we would skim through travel guides looking for more places of interest to add to our itinerary.

LIVING AND STUDYING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN

Page 3 Volume 1, Issue 4

Over several weeks, we explored Oxford, Cam-bridge, Stratford, and of course London. A London walk at sunset on the banks of the River Thames passing Big Ben, the Tower Bridge, and a few contem-porary structures was my most memorable hour’s walk ever!

Overall, Britain is a place full of excitement and well worth exploring.

Why not book yourself onto a flight and spend your next holiday on an English language study tour in the UK? ___________________

Upon eating this new

and unexpectedly tasty

dish one child exclaimed

“It tastes just like chick-

en!” and ever since this

frog dish has sometimes

gone under the tongue-

in-cheek name Three

Cup Chicken.

Except for the substitu-

tion of frog for chicken

this dish is the same as

the original Three Cup

Chicken after which it is

named. It is cooked in a

pot spiced with garlic,

ginger and basil leaves.

Hung Wei-chun 洪偉峻,

a third year student of

Biology 生物學 at DYU,

shares a story that may

change your eating habits.

You may be surprised to

learn that in some parts of

Taiwan Three Cup Chicken is

sometimes made from frog,

not chicken. Some say this is

because in the past, when

many Taiwanese families

were quite poor, some very

hungry children went out into

the fields to catch frogs for

dinner.

Next time you see this dish

on a menu do make sure you

try some. It really is more

delicious than chicken.

Flora Mary Wang Tzu-Shin 王姿心,

a part-time English teacher at the ILC,

shares her thoughts on London, UK.

I know Taiwan, I know London. Taiwan is

my home but London is my city.

If someone asked me “Which world city do

you like the best?” I would quickly and with-

out any hesitation reply “London!” It is a

wonderland.

Every street corner you turn and everywhere

you step is full of historical wonders.
