I Miss My Home

     Everyone in SUPP misses their home, and so do I. I miss the most are my families. When I felt tired, they always made me feel better. When I felt lonely, they are always with me. When I was in trouble, they always helped me. I love my families very much, and I miss them that much. The second thing I miss are my friends. We just passed the difficult times together two months ago, but I can't see them for thirty days. I am so sad. While I was bored these days, I often thought about my friends in Taiwan. The third what I miss is the food. Because the food in cafeteria is almost same every day, I want to eat the food in my hometown. I really miss my home. But I'm sure that I will miss the wonderful times in SUPP after I go back to Taiwan.

My SUPP Teachers

     What am I learning from SUPP teachers? I must say," The most helpful thing I learned is kindness." In Taiwan, the teachers are very far from us. We should talk with them seriously because they are── TEACHERs. But here, we can talk with our teachers easily. It is not a pressure or a heavy responsibility. I feel very comfortable. Also our teacher seldom play games with us in Taiwan, even in elementary school. The most important for us is to get good grades and get to a good school. There is no interest in school life. But my SUPP teachers always try their best to give us the useful knowledge and and teach us in interesting ways. I am so glad that I join the SUPP and meet good teachers here.

My Weekend Activities

     During the days in junior high school, I had no free time on weekend. But I have already graduated from school since last month, I could do anything I want on weekends.
     In this month, if my friends have time, I usually ask them to play volleyball with me. It is my favorite sport, we can not only exercrise but have fun together. I like it very much.
     Sometimes there is no friend to play ball with me. Then I'll choose to read a novel and have a cup of milk. It is really nice to do in the afternoon. What a lazy afternoon! This is the best way for me to relax. It can make me feel happy after a busy week.
     Both playing volleyball and reading novels are my hobbies. They are the activities I usually do on weekends, maybe you can try them in the future.

Activities--Water Games

     On the third day in SUPP. We had water games in the afternoon. First, we had to throw water balls to our roommates. They had to catch it and throw it back to us. Although it was a little hard, we still had a lot of fun. Some of the students got wet during the game, it was so funny. The second game is "capture the flag". Most Argentinian boys were on our team, so we had a big chance to win. We decided that boys attack and girls defend. Finally, we got the flag of the other team and won the game. This was the most exciting water game I have ever had. I'm so glad that I joined SUPP.

Getty Center and Concert

 
     After we got off the bus, we took the train to the Getty center. First, we went to the North Building. The most famous picture in the whole building is the irises drawn by Van Gogh. The rose windows are the most interesting to me. When the light show through the windows, they look so beautiful. I have never seen such a beauty. This was my first time to see them, so I was very excited. Then we saw where King Louis fourteenth lived. The stuff there are rare. Maybe it is because he was the most powerful in France. At free time, we sat on the grass. I chatted and had dinner with my friend. After that, we saw a concert, I had a great night there.

Hollywood

 

     After we arrived at Hollywood, we went to the Madame Tussauds. There are lots of waxworks of celebrities. The back ground and music there are really fitting the waxworks. I like them very much. The waxworks were like real people standing in front of me. Although I didn't know their names and the movies they were in, but it is still fun to take picture with them. On the streets, I saw some street artists. We went shopping after having dinner in the McDonalds. Then, I bought a postcard for my friend and a metal statue for my parents at a store.The most interesting part about the metal statue is that the name of the reward is "Best Parent". Also we saw lots of handprints and footprints at a Chinese theater. It was a great experience to visit Hollywood and see all kinds of interesting things. We all had a wonderful day.

The Different Culture

     Everything is different between we and Argentinian. The weather, the culture, the way of life......all is different. People from Taiwan are shy and don't talk too much. But Argentinian are active, they aren't shy to talk with anyone they did not know. It is a little weird for me. Also they aren't afraid to tell us what they think. Even though they are not the smartest, they are willing to share their idea. Sometimes they can't really come down, but it is their way of life. It is full of joy and passion. Because we have different cultures, we can learn about the difference and grow together.
