On the plane

In Geography this week, we watched a movie after the test on Africa. The movie was about the horrible crisis that took place in Sudan. The movie showed the Janjaweed, arab militiamen, terrorizing and torturing the people of Sudan. It showed the ways they would torture them with graphic details and I was really sad to know that this event actually happened.


In spring break, I also went on a small airplane to view the main attractions of Arlington. It was my first time on a airplane and it was a spectacular view. Everybody looked like little ants. The houses looked like toy doll houses and the cars looked like little hotwheels cars. I felt like grabbing them and playing with them. It was a 30 minute ride but it was all worth it. I saw the lake and the boats on it. It was definetely a experience that I will never forget.




This plane is similar to the one I was on

I think it is so good to have a spring break. In Taiwan, only university students can take a short break in spring. And I agree that the bird's eye view is the most beautiful.

Umm.....in America, did you often use airplane to travel? because I know that America is quite BIG.I hope I can take airplane someday, it must be great.
and,1425NT dollars are about 40~50 in US dollars. The book is about many details of cell, like phosphorylation, Membrane Structure ......etc. It's hard for people who don't like biology, but it's precious for me^^.
