2010/7/14 Hsinchu Science Park~My hometown

7/14
Today, we went to visit Hsinchu Science Park, the most important high-tech industry area in taiwan. At first, I was no interested in this visiting, because I was born in Hsinchu and grow up here. However, although Hsinchu is my hometown, I have never been in Science Park before, just past through.

When our bus drove in the Science Park, we went in to a big information building. There are some receptionists led us into a meeting room and a pretty lady started to introduce us the Hsinchu Science Park by power point. Hsinchu Science Park was initiated on December 15, 1980 because of government's policy. Her sound is pleasing and her pronunciation is really wonderful. All in all, I totally enjoyed her professional introduction.

After the introduction, we move to science museum. At the first floor, there are many Hsinchu Science Park paintings by children, they are cute and creative. At the second floor, there are some history collection about the agricultural industry and high-tech development of taiwan. Finally, we went to the third floor, they exhibit many high-tech product of Taiwan's company. We tried some interesting product for a while. They are awesome!

In the end, we took our bus and looked around the Science Park. I have never thought Hsinchu Science Park is so grand and significant. In a word, I am so proud of my hometown!

2010/7/21 VISIT FTV

7/21
We went to visit FTV this afternoon. This was my first time to visit this kind of TV station, so I was so excited about that!
At the beginning, they showed us a video about the series of soap opera that they produced. It seems that their soap opera is very popular in Taiwan. Although I am not familiar with their soap opera, but I still felt very interested! The exaggerative and hypocritical performance made everyone laugh and surprise, especially the foreign students!
After watching the video, there was a handsome American came into the meeting room and introduced us about the operation of FTV then let us to ask questions. But some of the political questions was involved in this interview, so after that, most of Taiwanese students did not feel comfortable! Because there were still some foreign students here, we were afraid that his opinion would make a negative impression on our foreign students, Taiwanese students were a little bit angry ( although most he talked about were true!)
Afterward a beautiful lady, one of the English anchor, who led us to visit their studios. The temperature of every studio was very cold becuase they had to protect the machines. We sat on the newsroom then pretended we were the anchor and broadcasted the news. We took lots of pictures and really had fun!

2010/7/13 Taipei Metro

7/13


Today, we went to visit Taipei Metro, which is the most convenient and important transport in Taipei. We assembled at 8:50 am, then we took our tourist coach to Taipei, just spent 50 minutes.
At first, there was a guider who led us to a video room then showed us a video about the Taipei City traffic information and the traffic routes. In the vedio, there was a 21 year-old girl kept walking at streets of Taipai and an aside described every place she past through and how and where to take every kinds of transport. It could attract audience to concentrate on the video(especially for male audience).

Next, we moved to another conference room and saw another video. The video was about 20 minutes and was talking about the transport history and development of Taiwan. I have never thought how difficult to build a road and how convenient we live in Taiwan. We always complain Taiwan is too crowded to live, but never thought it let us get closer to each other.

Then, we leave for our last place in Taipei Metro, the Taipei City Traffic Control and information Center. We saw many controllers, such as Chief, Train, Engineering, Power and Line controller, and there are some TRTS Future Route Map show us the Taipei City transport routes.



Finally, we looked around and took many pictures and tried to use some sample of the equipments. It's very interesting!
