你是不是也受夠了城市裡的烏煙瘴氣？快點跟Scott一起到郊外走走吧～

So, two of my coworkers and myself went to Chiayi a little while ago. David, Riana and I went to visit one of Riana’s AESIEC friends named Bonnie! We took the train out of Taipei and her father picked us up at the train station. Then we went back to his parent in laws house.

你有自助旅行的經驗嗎？Scott剛到台灣不久，但已經慢慢的開始拓展他的足跡了，到底去了哪些地方呢？一起看看吧！
Few weeks ago some friends and I decided to head to Alishan!  My traveling companions were Riana from work, and six of her AEISEC friends.We left from Taipei Main station by train at eleven o’clock Friday night.  It sure was a long ride.  Once we got off that train, we had to wait a couple hours for a transfer to a bus, then another train.  We finally arrived in Alishan about mid afternoon on Saturday, and the weather was bleak!  However, our spirits were high and we were happy to be there.  　After dropping all of our gear at the hotel (and having a short nap) we set out for a hike.  The rain was coming down hard, so we got a ride to the top of the walking paths and strolled down.  It was a serene walk because most people did not want to spend the day in the rain. Being in the woods reminded me of home, in a good way.  Though the trees and plants may be different I still enjoyed their presence.  Some trees in that forest are so large and old it is hard to truly comprehend their age!  One was over two thousand and three hundred years old!  I wonder how many more years it will survive for?  I hope many generations.  It made my twenty one years seem irrelevant by comparison and it was very humbling.  I felt very at home surrounded by so much life, there is also many beautiful man made things to look at in the park.  This includes both Taiwanese and Japanese structures and temples.   When we had finished our walk we were all starving so we decided to get some dinner.  What was on the menu you might ask?  Traditional Alishan dishes of course!  A wide variety of dishes were quickly laid out on a table in front of us and the feast commenced. After we had all had our fill, taken pictures and played a few games around the table, we returned to our large hotel room.   In our room we played cards and other games for many hours until one by one we all drifted apart and to sleep.

明天是白色情人節，有什麼特別的計畫嗎？Scott要跟大家分享他的情人節，一起看看加拿大人怎麼過這個浪漫的節日吧！
In Canada, Valentine's Day is very important for couples! Almost every Canadian couple celebrates Valentine's Day by giving something to their sweetheart, going out for dinner, or just spending an evening relaxing together. Traditionally on Valentine's Day the man will give the woman flowers or a box of chocolates, but now many couples exchange gifts! 
On the other hand, many people who are single do not like Valentine's Day, they think it is a waste of time and money. I prefer to think of it as an excuse to spend quality time with the people you love! So I spend time with my girlfriend on Valentine's Day. We might go out for dinner to our favorite place, or maybe get some ice cream and walk in the park; it does not matter as long as we are together!
If my girlfriend and I do decide to go out for dinner, we like to order from restaurants, but do not like to stay there and eat. We usually take the food and go to one of our houses, the beach or on top of a mountain. It is very romantic to have dinner somewhere that has a nice view! In Victoria there is a mountain called Mount Tolmie where you can drive to and look over Victoria. It is very beautiful during the night with all the street lights lit up and the stars above you. Some of the places we like to go and eat at are Baan Thai (Thailand food), Café Mexico (Mexican food) and Pagliacci’s (Italian food). There are many, many other good places to eat in Victoria, it is very multicultural and it is easy to find food from almost every ethnicity.
There is no lack of flowers to give to your loved ones in Victoria. Named the ‘city of gardens’ it even has flowers hung from street lights downtown! There is also a place called the Butchart Gardens that is beautiful to walk through. During the spring and summer it is full of flowers, and during the winter it has a cover of snow with Christmas lights everywhere! Another nice place to walk is along the ‘inner harbour’ of Victoria, especially during the evening/night when the lights are reflecting off the water.
These are only a small portion of all the great things to do with your loved ones in Victoria. If you ever get a chance to come to Victoria, you will see what I mean! It is a very romantic city, and the perfect place to spend Valentines Day.

新年快樂，總統大選即將到來，Ian 也不甘示弱的發表了一篇他的政見，請大家參考一下吧！
Canada and Taiwan should be Sister Countries I think that Canada and Taiwan should be sister countries. Why is that? It is because other than food and language, Canada and Taiwan actually have a lot of things in common. Today I would like to bring these things to everyone’s attention. 
 Canada and Taiwan are international countries

Hey I’m Scott, a new member of the iWriting team!  I’m from the West Coast of Canada and I grew up in Victoria , which is on Vancouver Island . 
Vancouver Island is slightly smaller than Taiwan , but only has a population of 734,860.  I study Pacific and Asian Studies at the University of Victoria.

With my family I spend time on our sailboat, the Adrift.

This is my cousin Jen in her family’s boat, my sister Stef on the left, myself cooking in the glasses and my cousin Steve in the black.
There are many things to do with friends on Vancouver Island including great camping, beaches for surfing and skimboarding and many other things.

This is camping in Tofino, Steve is on the left and myself on the right.

This is just another picture of me and my friends having some fun in Victoria !
I am greatly looking forward to living in Asia and being a part of the team!

前幾天有去跨年嗎？是看了101煙火，還是跟三五好友在家開跨年派對呢?這次Riana要跟大家分享她的跨年活動，看看跟我們有什麼不一樣！
Counting down to the New Year is one of the most exciting things to happen at the end of the year. During this event I am usually with my friends, hanging by the bridge in my hometown, waiting for the fireworks display to start.You’d think that we should be with our family during this event wouldn’t you? Ah, but you forget – we just celebrated Christmas with our entire family, and now it’s the time for us to catch up with our friends to simply relax. I always plan with my friends to watch the fireworks and to count down together to the New Year.
Usually I meet up and have dinner with my friends and my brother. Because I’m a twin and my brother is the same age as me, we often have the same friends. So we eat dinner together on New Year’s Eve, perhaps enjoy a few drinks and chat a little bit before going over to the bridge or somewhere we can see the fireworks. As a hint: never try to buy Fish ‘n’ Chips on this day… everyone else thinks it’s a good idea too, and you’ll end up waiting for an hour or more!
