你有見過聖誕老人嗎？
Riana跑去台南玩耍
竟然遇到了聖誕老人！
一起來看看，Riana的台南奇遇！
After many long hard-working months, our company announced that we would be going to Tainan for a 2 day tour. I was very excited because I have never been to Tainan , and my friends had told me many interesting facts about this historical city of Taiwan . I was ready to see all the wonderful sights planned for our tour, and to taste some of the famous local cuisine!
Day 1
Very early on a Friday morning, I made sure to wake in time to meet my colleagues in front of our company building.We drove to Tainan for many hours, and arrived at Chien Shan Pi Reservoir (尖山埤水庫) in time for lunch. Some of the first differences I noticed between Taipei and Tainan was the air temperature. Tainan was cold and windy! I thought that it would be warmer, but maybe it was just the weekend that we were there… thankfully, after putting our bags in our rooms we went to the restaurant to eat a warm and hearty lunch.
The activities for Friday included eating some fresh oysters at the Wild Bird Society of Happy Family (黑琵家族野鳥學會). I sat with my colleagues in a circle around the barbeque which was very cozy. As we chatted, we cooked and ate the oysters – yummy! After some time, we left to start a tour on a boat and were shown how the oysters were kept in farms. Our tour guides were quite interesting, and told everyone interesting facts.
The next thing on our tour itinerary was to visit the Salt Mountain . Long ago when salt became unprofitable, the owners turned their business into a tourist attraction; where you can see Santa and his reindeer at the bottom of the mountain, or climb to the very top to look at things far away. I was surprised to learn that out of the two mountains, one of them is made from Australian Salt! I thought that was really cool, that in the middle of one of Taiwan ’s historical cities, there is a reminder of my homeland. I made sure to take a picture with the mountain and my colleagues
After running around and exploring all these places, everyone was getting a little tired and hungry. So we returned back to the resort and feasted on some more delicious Tainan dishes for dinner. I ate an interesting dessert for the first time – it was sweet potato dipped in toffee, all sticky and sweet until you dipped it into cold water so it could turn hard. It was really tasty! Then we all had free time to relax and look around the resort before we slept. My manager, May, and I were really full after eating all that yummy food and so we decided to go for a swim in the pool. It was really beautiful to swim at night, and although there weren’t any stars to see, I could still admire the night view.
And then… sleep.
又吃又喝又玩，Riana一定睡得很香甜！
我們來複習一下單字吧！

你有養狗嗎？Ian在加拿大有養一隻狗，他的狗Mickey頂多只在家附近走走。但是Ian來到台灣後，發現台灣的狗兒們居然會坐上主人的機車四處跑，這點讓Ian感到非常不可思議！
My dog's name is Mickey. He is truly an awesome dog, I think perhaps the coolest dog ever.
Mickey was always a smart dog. He learned how to understand our words, so if we said the word 'walk', he would get really excited because he thought he was going for a walk. We started to speak out the letters of the word, like this 'W - A - L - K', instead of saying the word, but he learned how to spell the word too.
When Mickey got older, he didn't like to walk very much, so we would encourage him to go outside by giving him a cookie every time he came in from out to the bathroom. He caught on to this pattern pretty fast.
He would bark to go outside, and when we let him out he would just stand on the porch. Then he would bark to come back in after 20 seconds and he would walk directly to the cookie cupboard and stand there and bark for a cookie.

Riana在澳洲的時候，有一個最大的嗜好是和他的朋友一起下廚，他們通常會選定一個主題，決定今天要做哪一國的料理。
你喜歡烹飪嗎？或許下次你會在超級市場遇到正在採買食材的Riana喔！別忘了跟他打個招呼
One of my favourite hobbies in Australia was cooking with my friends. We had a special way of deciding what to cook though. Usually we picked a country, such as Mexico , India or Japan . Then we would find music and recipes from that country on the internet. After comparing what we’d found, we would choose the best looking ones.
We often cooked on a Friday night after our university classes. We’d go home together and start playing music. Each of us had bought some of the ingredients to make the meal. For example, one of my best friends from my Japanese class wanted to cook asparagus pie one day. She asked if I'd like to come and cook with her because we always cooked funny things together.

但是今天Ian特地請他的媽媽找出他小時候的照片，要與你分享他以前所做過的瘋狂事蹟！
