Internship day17-leaving.

Children come and go in the summertime.

Today is the last working day of July and

fuck i have to be in Copou park in ten minutes and i haven't get dressed.

i am sooo sorry.

Guess i've already adopted to the romania time.

no.

I think that's not romanian clock.

That's a clock installed in every human being.

Will be back on this after we come back from Suceava.

The description I wrote to Teo and Mada.

--

Every city has its own underbelly that is hidden and thought to be unknown.

But no, for Iasi, the cultural city on the guidebook, is one of the cities that is not stingy to let people know its dark side.

Instead, they stay there, quietly, not difficult to be found, and wait for discovery.

I love the city, for it gives a new concept of a industrial factory without much noise and is now getting to prosper.

I love the city, for it provides a huge amount of friendly people who loves sweet food and warm drinks.

I love the city, for it just sits there, no welcoming, no applauding.

It sits there, and breathes with breeze and dim sunlight every early morning at 5 a.m.

It is not a city for tourists and sightseeing, of course, it is a city for living and getting used to its pace.

That is Iasi, the city brings the light to people earlier than any others in Romania.

Shakira-Gypsy

I had a four-day trip around Transilvania.

Too much to say, see the pictures.

I heard this song when Janet thumbed the ride to Săbăoani, Adela's hometown. I love the song.

There are some gypsies living in Iaşi.

I don't want to have prejudice, really.

But I am still afraid of them.

People avoid them, but when they come and ask for money, people still talk to them, in the language I don't understand. They say no, but I guess there are more than just no.

Usually they are kids and women. I saw a man in Bucureşti, but they are few anyway.

They live in the open air, like the illegal buildings in Taiwan's countryside.

They have arms and legs. They are not blind or dumb. They are reddish, mostly thin, and with big eyes.

But still there are some larger, wearing the colorful bazaar dress. Often these are old ladies and their wrinkles are heavy.

They are just like the ones sleeping in the Taipei Train Station. And they are more like living people. They don't smell bad.

If you ignore them, they will ignore you too.

They are not homeless.

They have their own lives. They worlds are separated here.

I like the song anyway.

----

Broke my heart
On the road
Spent the weekend
Sewing the pieces back on

Friends and thoughts pass me by
Walking gets too boring
When you learn how to fly

Not the homecoming kind
Take the top off
And who knows what you might find

Won't confess all my sins
You can bet I'll try it
But I can't always win


Chorus

'Cause I'm a gypsy
Are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes
And wear them if they fit me
I never made agreements
Just like a gypsy
And I won't back down
'Cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry
I'm too young to die
If you're gonna quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy

('Cause I'm a gypsy)


Verse 2

I can't hide
what I've done
Scars remind me
Of just how far that I've come
To whom it may concern
Only run with scissors
When you want to get hurt

Chorus

I said hey you
You're no fool
If you say 'NO'
Ain't it just the way life goes?
People fear what they don't know
Come along for the ride, Oh yeah
Come along for the ride, whoo-hoo

Internship day8-te iubesc.

Lasvan looked me in the eye and told me this today.

Then I melted. His eyes are blue-grey like a morning lake.

I melted every day in my kindergarten.

Let's talk about how I go to the kindergarten cuz that's not a long story, for I have to go to Iulius Mall at 1530 for buying Mada's b present.

I want to talk about people, including teachers, mici, and 7y children.

Also I have to say how I eat like in paradise and how I have fun with them.

I am tooooo easy to be satisfied.

Ok.

I walk every day from B-dul Independei to Str. Spital Pașcanu.

Closer to the center, there are some people waiting for the bus. While waiting, they stare at me, and I stare back, thinking if they want poze. At the end of the B-dul, there is a nice little shop selling cheap fruit. The seller is gorgeous. She is blonde and with a nice smile, and she told me I should come next time. She speaks very well in EN. I definitely will go, for the apple is delicious.

It takes approximately 30 mins to climb up to the hill and walk by some funny pink house and some building under construction, which looks really like a hunted house.

The road is sometimes rocky, sometimes smooth. But anyway, they all climb up, leading me to the yellow paradise.

On the way, there might be some roads also under construction. There might be some scholar-like old man and some kind old woman who will grab your arm and tell you which is the right way to the destination.

Moreover, there might be some people wearing like gypsies. But for me, I do nothing and so I really bear a mind that they won't hurt me.

I often breathe like a cow when I am up on the hill. I think I don't need to find a stadium anymore, for I walk a lot and run a lot in the kindergarten.

And so, I get to the yellow wood house with a lot of maze-like rooms.

It is getting to be my home.

Te iubesc, Penilla.

p.s. I took another way to Penilla when I lived in Tatarași. I had to get through a tranquil and peaceful cemetery. It was actually very nice cuz nobody was there, though the sun is burning. I like that place, the Eternity Gate.

Internship day4-I am fine.

I wrote some diary in my own private one but I left it in the apartment. I will type it up whenever I can.

No, I think over it right now.

No.

I went to the kindergarden Penilla these two days.

It is a really nice place which has an amazing self-

No.

I don't know why. I don't feel like typing anything right now.

I found this place incredibly beautiful when this morning I went out of Adela's apartment.

It was 04:45 in the early morning. I got out of Adela's bed because Caesar and XXX(I for got the name.)'s snoring were like orchestra, which had a unbelievably bad playing skill.

I went to the other room with Mada, Janet, Jose, and Teo inside. We checked the earliest private bus 18.

It was on at 5:00. So we went by the creepy elevator with a creepy door to downstair.

And then I felt the temperature, my favorite one. I saw the dim light, my favorite shallow blue.

I talked with Mada about the dogs and cats here in Iasi.

That's about the day 4 so far.

I love here.

Though the heat, the Internet, the staring people, the ..........are not ok.

This is where they live for the entire life. They can do so. Why not me?

Topest goal: Know the road of Iasi, be like Jose, take some pictures.

Internship day1-I love airport.

13 July Tues. 05:51 in Amsterdam time.

I was in Bangkok for the transit, for my first time, be in the place that couldn't pass me the visa for Romania. At the same time of the flight, I felt myself full of contempt. I shouldn't be so. Several times when I put back the glasses I just cleaned, I knew that I wore back more that one pair of glasses.

The KLM was good and the airport was nice too.

Thai people are cool and when on the flight, though at night, I could see the street lights shining, telling the story of fast development.

I met a mom and her daughter on the flight. Mom told me some of her experience in Thailand. Most of the time I was just listening, and I could see how she loved this place and how welcoming she was to me.

Am I the kind of person who looks entirely easy-going so that strangers want to express them to me?

After fourteen hours flight, I got to this place, Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, Holland.

I've never felt so excited and anxious, but at the same time comforted.

It's like all the dreams all of a sudden come true, the thing that I've been eager to have for so long.

Different languages, different faces, all the things are different.

It is still the same me, sitting on the cafè table drinking coffee latte, wearing the same clothes as last time.

I am like a bad actress with cheap acting skill. No matter where I go, I know only that 101 plot.

Everything is enjoyable.

There's no Internet access here. As a matter of fact, this is better. Then I wouldn't want to go on the fb and shouting.

Nice and surreal.(What the hell is this line? It comes from Notting Hill. I love it though.)

There's no such thing as FOREIGN here.

We are all moving.

I should learn some Dutch and know the euro.

I was lying.

I need the Internet to know what to do once i get to Bucharest.

Shiiiiiit! I might be arrested by some burglars and be sold to Albania to be some little prostitute. Just like the one in the movie blablabla I forgot, the one the American police father comes to Middle East Europe to save his daughter.

My father wouldn't do this. But anyway, that might happen.

I need to know what I gonna do.

Give me the godamn Internet.

Everything is unknown.( I just hear the French report, how amazing.)

Everything is amazing.

We got nice 15c here. I love cold.

Being murmuring now.

bye.

mindset, last day in TPE

I haven't got the visa yet.

But the thing is that I can't do anything about it anyway.

I wait.

These days I pack my package, thinking what is the thing that I could take to Romania and present to them.

A LOT.

I think of how abundant Taiwan is and how travel can make a person see oneself once again.

Learn to make pearl milk tea.

IELTS transcript.

Apple learning.

clean up the room.

movies, books, exhibitions...

Listen to AIESEC songs every day and get obsessed to them.

So after all these, I close my eyes and find that I can make both a perfect blue map.

And either can be enjoyable.

I start out once more an unforgettable experience, not only for others but also for myself.

Always bear this in mind.

I begin to believe that, only those who can lead oneself and others can give.

Always be ready for the worst situation, but at the same time be optimistic.

Get yourself challenged as well as challenge those kids. :)

btw, my first time on the flight other than Cathy and Eva.

so excited!! I am going on the land of Netherlands!

Netherlands go!!

(But I am with Spain.)

Xing

很多我身邊的你們都遇到困難，

因為你們不是AIESECers，也許並沒有認知到這一路上，

本來就是有許多困難。

可能是因為語言，因為文化，因為某某個環節出了問題....

當你們抱怨，三番兩次我都想大叫「這就是有趣的地方啊」，

可是我沒有，

一是我是AIESECer，不想讓別人討厭，

二是我常常很難去說服別人，

二是你們真的很雖，我很容易一腳踏入別人的鞋，雖然我也超雖的，

但

正因為我是AIESECer，我更應該要說服你們，

正因為我同理心旺盛因為我也處於pissed off狀態，我更應該要讓你們知道學習點，

one is accept

two is do something.

Make nothing into something.

從match到visa，我對台灣狀態實在感到無奈，

卻又充滿信心....

中央日報-網路報

本報社評----申根免簽證:活路外交又一大成果

報載歐盟（European Union, EU）執委會7月5日通過提案，將台灣納入「免申請申根簽證國家及地區」的名單中，待歐洲議會和歐洲理事會審議通過後，台灣就可比照新加坡、日本、香港和南韓，享有90天入境歐洲25個申根公約締約國、以及羅馬尼亞、保加利亞、塞普路斯等共28國的免簽證待遇，這是馬總統推動活路外交（Modus Vivendi）的又一重大成果。

　自2008年5月馬總統就職後，兩岸關係顯著改善，展現和平穩定、繁榮發展的新局，台海情勢由過去的「殺戮戰場」轉變為「和平廣場」，台灣也從麻煩製造者（Trouble Maker）轉換為和平製造者（Peace Maker），兩岸關係的和平發展不但獲得兩岸人民的高度讚賞，也受到美、日、歐盟等主要國家的高度歡迎與肯定，更大幅拓展台灣的國際活動空間，我們舉其犖犖大者：

　首先，2008年8月，台灣國際貿易法權威、台灣大學教授羅昌發於獲選為世界貿易組織（WTO）「補貼暨平衡稅措施委員會」（CSCM）常設專家。CSCM由五位補貼及貿易法律專家組成，兩岸專家首度同時獲選出任WTO常設專家，且全球僅有五位專家，兩岸就有二位，這象徵兩岸在國際組織場域的雙贏象徵。

　其次，2008年11月前副總統連戰代表我國參加亞太經濟合作會議（APEC）年會，這是過去十七年來我國出席層級最高的一次，2009年11月連前副總統再度代表我國參加APEC年會，使台灣的國際能見度大為增加，連前副總統並在會議期間與多國代表團舉行雙邊會議，使我國大幅開拓與其他國家的實質關係。

　第三，2008年12月我國加入了「政府採購協定」（Government Procurement Agreement, GPA），我國正式參與國際GPA運作，這將使歐美國家更有意願來台投資。

　第四，2009年1月我國被納入「國際衛生條例 （International Health Regulation, IHR）」規範體系。2009年5月 我國正式加入WHA成為觀察員，使我國的醫療衛生體系正式與國際接軌。

　第五，自2009年3月3日起，台灣人民赴英國半年內免簽證，使我國與英國關係的進展快速，提升雙方旅遊與經貿的實質關係。

　第六，2009年7月高雄市舉辦世界運動會。2009年9月 台北市舉辦聽障奧運會，馬總統皆開幕致詞，使我國的國際能見度大幅提升。

　此外2009年台灣也從美國超級三○一觀察名單中除名，象徵我國智慧財產權保護的新境界，受到美國政府的高度肯定。2009年12月台灣在日本札幌設立辦事處，凡此種種皆代表我國國際活動空間的大幅提昇。

　馬總統就任後，兩岸關係走向和平、發展、繁榮的道路，海基、海協兩會先後舉行五次「江陳會談」，簽署14項協議與發表陸資來台一項共同聲明，這14項協議有如海基會江丙坤董事長所說，在海基、海協兩會所搭建的平台上，再建14條高速公路，大幅拉近兩岸人民的「實際距離」、更縮短了兩岸人民的「心理距離」。

　現在兩岸海空直航、大陸觀光客來台、食品安全合作、金融合作、郵政合作、司法互助、陸資來台等，都已經相繼實施，兩岸一日生活圈已經建立。這對兩岸關係的和平發展有極大的幫助。這對兩岸人民最有利，也是兩岸人民共同追求的目標。未來兩岸基於歷史、血緣、文化等各方面的淵源，或是基於經濟合作的事實需要，台灣人民會在自願的前提下，與大陸同胞攜手合作，共同建立民主、自由、均富的現代化制度。

　由事實可知，兩岸關係改善後，台灣的國際活動空間大幅提升，對於台灣企業與人民有極大的幫助。台灣在馬總統的領導下，一定會充分發揮智慧來處理兩岸關係，希望大陸方面也能以更開闊的胸懷來對待台灣，建立長期和平、穩定、繁榮的互動架構，也使兩岸在國際場合能攜手合作，大幅提升兩岸在國際的影響力，並且共同為兩岸後代子孫開創一個安全、安定、永續的生活環境，這是兩岸中華民族之福，也是世界人民之福。

蠻馬的，重點是其中的facts.
