Le Premier Mois

Goodbye my family.


I'm lucky to have these friends, see you girls one year later!

2010/8/25 I said bye to the people whom I love in Taiwan.



Me and the other exchanged student, Let's go to France!



after ten more hours, I arrived Marseille, France! The president of my club, Aubagne club, and my third host mom came to pick to up.



About my first host family


She is my host mama!


and my host litter sister, Nour!


although my first host family just have two family members, but their relatives often come back for vacation. We are clean the garden in this photo!


Me and Nour. We were baking cookies!


Me and my big host sister, Souad. We were making pancake! Souad was moving to Paris for her college. She is friendly and always help me a lot when I don't know what to do, such a nice sister and friend!


About my School


This is my schedule of school.

The school is extremely different from my country, Taiwan. In Taiwan, we have 10 mins break for each course, France is uncertain. Taiwan, we have our own classroom, we seldom move, but here in France, we change classroom each times! The way teacher teach us makes me shocked. I've heard that westerner's studies are different from eastener's, but I was shocked after I really experience it. Students always discuss a lot during the class. They express their mind even if someone is disagree with you. School is a little bit difficult for me, because I have to spend twice or more times than my classmate to understand the class. I'll do my best! PE class, I do jogging, volleyball and rock climbing. Here, we don't have to wear uniform!


Lunch time, we eat at canteen, like cafeteria. I don't have to pay because I have a card. There is one meal of the canteen. In Taiwan, we eat our lunch box at our own classroom.


My friends of school! In the begining it's so hard to find a friend. People may be interested about you or not at all. I am in the first year grade of high school, so my classmates are all younger than me, sometimes, I still want to meet someone like my age.. but I am happy to meet my classmates! They are friendly, help me a lot! I hope someday I hang out more times with them.

Oh, and the teachers here often strick! If they don't go to school, then we students will get day-off! That's cool, there's no strick in Taiwan!




My host papa took me to Marseille and Cassis.

Besides, I've been to Marseille six time in one month! For shopping and visiting with my family and friends. Marseille port is very beautiful!


And I went to a village called Orange with Rotary, D 1760!



I met other exchanged students, from usa, JP, Canada and korea. But there are just 8 people, and we all live far away from each other, so it's hard to hang out with them..


Food

French food are so amazing delicious! I like cheese, bread, noodles... and I try everything new for me, then... I gain 6 kg!! J'ai grossi><


The first month just passed, I think my french would be better and better!
bon courage!
