we ate a lot in Malaysia, it's very strange for us, coz we fly from UK to Malqaysia. Its about 3-8 degree in UK, but in Malysia, its about 30 degree..........we felt very hot. its really nice please we ate a lot of food, one is call "lotijanei" , its different from Taiwan, we have similar things, but we are salt, they have sweet one. it has banana inside. and different source we can eat.  we also ate many different kind of food, its cheaper than here. we also went to Petronas Towers, its really beautiful at night. Bythe way the movies there is really cheap, its about 100 NTU<---very cheap.Some drink are very special, red and pink colour, in Malaysia, they like order drink before eatting. Citizen in there is very special, they can speak 5 language, malalia madriun ketania taiwanese english.

we went go on 17 January, its really excite trip to back to Taiwan, we bought a cheap tickets, its only about 6000 NTU<--i forget, but we need transfer from philippines, first we went to wrong airport, its cheaper airline, so its fly from another airport, so when we arrrived there, the fly is almost gone, but finally we took it, but our luggage  are too heavy, so we need paid extra money, however, Kim told them he only have 450, so finally we can pass it. but we dont have Philippines visa, so we couldnt enter to take our luggage, and tranfer time is about 5 hour, we need wait in airport for 5 hours, the police felt very strange, so they ask someone to "monitor" us, we couldn't go anywhere in the airport....its really a bad experiense, i ask them to give me a answer, but they didn't, its really a evry poor company, the name is cal Cebu Pacific, It really bad company, i think i wont took their fly in the future!!

When we arrived Malaysia, its near noon, and our friends took luggage to their house, and we took bus and transfer train to their home, the train station is very big, we almost loss our way, they have 2 different way to get tickets, I think its like a MRT and train station, but queue in wrng way, so we couldn’t bought the tickets, finally we find the way to buy ticket. When we arrived their house, we took a shower, its very strang for us, coz there is no hot water in their house, he need boil water for us. Then we go to have some “lunch-dinner” its really nice, we saw a long piece of Scallion Pancake, they cal “lotijanie” I am not sure how to spell, but its really good. At night we ate “hong kong style food”, it is also very nice although the please its not look very clean, they took the food in a small dining car, and we can choose which food we want. It’s a nice restaurant. But I forget the name, coz its our friend took us to there.

We took late night bus to Gatewick airport, there is a rule that we can only took one luggage into airplane, but we have too much luggage. And all luggage is overweight. And the airplane was in the morning, so we are planning to stay in airport whole night packed our luggage. We through a lot of things that we don’t need, besides we also put everything on the floor, it seems very funny, some tourism see us like a “funny things” embarrassing…….after package it still overweight, my luggage its about 27 kg, tina’s 26kg, lala’s 29kg. but QUTAR is very nice, they allow us overweight a little bit. Then we went to Malaysia, we transfer in a Arabic country, I think DuhaßI couldn’t remember name, and than we fly to Malaysia…….

Still in UK for 1.5 years, finally we will go home, and majority of my friends go home already, so there are some Janpanese friends and our classate said they want have a farewell party for us.

During the days, we are very busy, we have too many farewell party, one is for our classmate, another is for Janpanese friends, and we have to have a meal with our hosemate and my English teacher.

North Ireland, I have been Scotland Wales, but this place, I never came before. I hope I could travel whole area of UK. Therefore, before I go home, I decided to travel here-North Ireland. We book the cheapest ticket-Je zet2, overall the return tickets about 42 pound.

It didn’t have bus on 5.00 from Bradford to Airport. So we took the bus, it 17.8 pound. It took only 20 minutes, coz it was few car o the road. The driver drove very fast. It was only 5.10, when we arrived there. And the fly is 7.00.

This is the second times new year I stay in UK. last year, I went to Scotland, it was heavy windy, so the party has been cnaceled!! This year, we will go home on 10th January, so we need time to pack our parcel, we didn't go anywhere, just stay in Bradford. However, for new years eve, we should do somethings! So we dicided to go to city centre and celebrated with "Bradford". We went there around 11.45, we took some pictures in front of christmas tree a couple were kissing in front of tree, so romantic!!, and then the "big ben"(not London's one, bradford's one) start to "sound", and then "Happy New Year 2008", many people stand in front of the city hall, and very happy. There are a big screen in city centre square, it showed London's fire work. it also has firework in bradford. but it was very small!! Then we go home for a cop of  juice. We didn't go to pub, coz only 3 girls, it was too late to go to pub without men!! We chated whole night in lala's room. We discussed which delicious food shall we eat in Malaysia!!haha!! We are looking forward to go there. We chated until 4.00!!

On 2rd January morning, we thought we will sent parcel today, and it needs some documents, however, we couldn't use computer on daytimes, its full of people in Autrum. So we decided go there on 3AM. we didn't notice that we need student card to entry in Autrum. So we called reception!! he is very angry that we forget to bring our student card(Even we remember to bring student card, our student card was  expire!! haha). We print our documents and took many photographies in Richman builiding!! When I get up very earlier, i notices that we couldn't sent parcel today, we only can sent on 3 January!! so pity!! then I go to bed again, until 3 PM i woke up!! HAHA SLEEP TOO MUCH!!

I never expect we will go to Harworth today. Cos, it was raining whole day, and most of us didn’t want to travel.  I checked the timetable yesterday, and then lala and tina told me go to bed earlier, cos we decided go Harworth. God!! Ok, no doubt, we go!! So I slept 1.00. We wake up on 7.00, we took the 8.38 from Bradford Forest Squre to Keighley. It took only 20 minutes. It was very earlier to go there. The first steam train is on 12.00, but we can still take general train on 9.55.

We bought the ticket on the train, its very old faction machine, its 1948ß-I am not sure!! But its really interesting!! We arrived Harworth on 10.10, and we need walked for 15 minutes to village, the staff in station told us, because we are young its easy to find the village. It should walk to 2 hill. Haha, its really not far, but it was raining…we felt a little tired. Most of shop close when we arrived there. We went to tourism information, this is the second time I came here. I didn’t go to Bronete waterfall last time, so we decided to go there. Its 2.5 miles. It takes 2.5 hour to return!! We took the picture in 3 famous author’s museum-Charlotte Bronte and her sisters, then we went to waterfall. This is really nice place, you can image that you are Charlotte, and writing some article here. But it was heavy rain, Lala said, maybe they also wrote novel in the rain. Oh god!! We walked for 1.5 hours, finally we arrived a SMALL waterfall. Indeed, its really beautiful and colourful. Although it is winter now, but some leaves still very beautiful!! We back very quickly, coz we get wet in the rain, whole body wet, so we felt very very cold. So when we back to village, we felt hungry and cold, we don’t have mood to go to shop. I just go to gift shop to buy a traditional pen which need used by ink. And we see some small shop, and then we took steam train. This steam train is really lovely!! During the Christmas they give us mince pie for free, its really delicious. When we arrived the station, the stuff is really very friendly. He took us to go to the first railway carriage, which I can see stove. I put coal into the fire!! I only saw this implements in the film. But I saw the real one now, I am so exciting!! Wow, its really nice day today!!

It was raining day, but we still went out. Because we see many things in boxing day. And I wanna buy some cream in body shop and books. Besides, our student card will expire on the end of this month, there was a nuclear original mark in our library. I need take some pictures there. Also, there was a discount for film stardust, its only 2.5 pound.

Therefore, we did many things today. I bough many kinetin’s cream, what’s Kientin? This ingredient may make skin smoother and refined texture. I am a women, I love this cream haha, I won’t getting old!!

Stratford upon avon, this is a shakespeare's home town, it takes 4 hours by train from bradford.

We get up on 5.00 in the morning, the train is on 6.18 in the morning, we will changed the train in Leeds and Brimingham, however, when the train Brimingham, its 9.18, our train is on 9.30. When we arrived there, we notices that the staion is new station. We have to walk to moor station and then take the train to stratford, oh my god!! we don't know where is the station!! Therefore we are very nevous, we asked a staff, she told usto take a free bus to get there. then we go to information centre, he told me we can walk to there, he ask me follow the sign, so we run very fast, cross the city centre and asked another men, finally we found the station, its 9.28.

We arrived there on 10.21, the weather is so nice, just frozen!! There are some ice on the leaves. The river was frozen as well.

Therefore lala mark the map which has market area. then we start shopping. Manchester's christmas market sold many things from other Europe countries, especial German. However, we didn't shop a lot, coz most of stuff we think its a little bit expensive, we don't have enough money. so we just window shopping, and most of them didn't have discount.
