Exploring Keelung's Coastal Tidal Pools (八斗子)

I pick up a crab and I saw a lot of snail shells and some hermit crabs crawling around up on the rocks. I saw a few sea cockroaches, too. It was sunny. Then it rained a little.

Hanging Out

The Giant Grasshopper

I saw a huge, great big, humongous grasshopper -- like a monster! I caught the grasshopper. Then it jumped away. Then we caught it and it crawled on my finger. When I want to touch it, it jumped away again. Then it's gone.

Make Chocolate Day

At school, I made a heart. Then I draw pictures on it. The crayons are very colourful. It's not like the other crayons. When you finish drawing it, you can put your hand on it and it turn into fog. Then we go to make chocolate. We take some little paper cups and we wait our turn. It got lot of flavours: it got strawberry, vanilla, chocolate. When it's my turn, I put a spoon at first and scoop it up and put it in the paper cup. But no chocolate fell out. It stays in the cup. Then my turn again. I dripped some chocolate on my hand (I'm not careful!) -- then I ate it! Then we made the vanilla chocolate. Then we take turns to make the vanilla chocolate. The teacher said, "You want to make chocolate or vanilla?" Then I bring it home.

元宵節 Lantern Festival at My School

I make lantern. We first go get what thing we need. Then we started to put sticky things on it. Then we put some colour paper, string, straw and pretend snow on it. Later, me and Mommy make the red bean 湯圓 (tong-yen). We put red bean in the basket and roll and roll. Sticky rice water is in the basket. We roll eight times and eight dips. We go in the creepy house. Then we eat red bean 湯圓 (tong-yen). We banged the drum. We get the toy glasses and the sunshine cookies at my school when we are leaving. It's fun.
