New restaurants

These days, I went to some restaurants near NCCU that I haven’t tried before. And I was satisfied. Though almost everybody says that NCCU is a good food desert; however, I think there are still some nice and not-very-expensive places to eat at here.

For example, 滇味廚房, where I first went to last Wednesday surprise me very much. 滇味廚房 is a Yunnan-style restaurant which mainly provides rice-made noodle: 米線 and 粑吧絲 in different flavor. I enjoyed their pork 粑粑絲 (NT 65) a lot. Instead of being as soft as rice, 粑粑絲 has a springy texture. The soup is also special. The red appearance make it seems to be spicy, but actually it is made with tomatoes, so it sours in a perfect way and has nothing to do with spicy.

And, 私房麵 is another restaurant that people usually line up in front of it. I tried their soup noodle. With just hot soup, noodle, and some vegetable in the bowl, it was simple and delicious. What’s more, it is only NT 35!!

I am really into enjoying food. When it comes to eating issues, I’ll always be all ears. These two restaurants are in the top-rank restaurants in my heart.

So, what’s your favorite restaurant near NCCU?

Learning Partner From China

     At first, I don’t know how to call 學伴, which is like a kind of body program, so I call it learning partner. In this post, I will talk about my learning partner and my viewpoint on Chinese student.

     The reason I have a learning partner from China this semester is that I applied for being a learning partner last semester when I knew this project. After applying, it had to go for an interview. However, the school authorities finally decided that all the interviewees could join this project. My learning partner is from Sun Yat-sen University(中山大學) in 廣州. She is a social girl who can chat with anyone about ant topic. She always makes the atmosphere full of happiness. Because she is easy-going, she makes many friends in different department, and asks them whether they could take her to famous tourist attractions in Taiwan. She is very busy planning for everyday schedule, which I think is also the life of every Chinese exchange student. In addition to

studying, I believe most of Chinese students’ main goals in Taiwan are playing and eating.

      

     Although they spent most of time on recreation in Taiwan, I think they must be outstanding students in their original school. Someone told me that there was a survey which showed the majority of Chinese exchange student are not recommended their friends or family to study in Taiwan, because they feel Taiwanese students are not competitive. I think it is lucky to live in Taiwan, which is free and open country; however, many people take it for granted, and don’t treasure. We students should have positive attitude towards studying and playing. In the future, we all need to compare with teenagers not only in our country but also China even the whole world.
