Public Transit/ Etiquette

In my opinion, lots of people have good etiquette in Calgary City Transit, they got on and off city transit one by one; they gave seat to the old people, women, children; they didn't somke in the city transit; they didn't speak loudly; Also, a few people are rude in the city transit : they blew their nose; they wore very dirty clothes by the city tranit; they made loudly noise, they took more than one seat, they didn't buy tickets,and so on.

In my hometown, we take bus and taxi. We don't have subway, because our hometown is small. The bus and taxi are enough for hometown people. We needn't wait our ture. People are friendly, warm with each other, they greeted with each other; Young people always gave their seat to the old people and children; they never somke in the bus; they never left litter in the bus, and so on.

Good etiquettes and manners depend on ourself and everyone. Everyone must be a gentleman by himself.

The World Cup 2010

To be honest, I don't like soccer, lots of people have exciting and happy time now, but it's not my time . I don't care about the World Cup. I don't like soccer because I had a bad and terrible experience about soccer game when I was a child. When we played soccer in the playground, suddenly the soccer hit my head, then I didn't have feeling. I'm at hospital when I wake up. After that time, I never paly soccer again. Usually, I walk , play and do exercise. In my opinion, it's safe and good for heath!

Crime and Safety

When we saw the word of crime, we would think about bad things, sad things, bad apples, blood, muder, rob, victim, freedom, jail, and so on. In my mind, Calgary is a beautiful, clean, friendly and safty city, same as my hometown. However,I'm a stranger in Calgary, I feel nervous and fear sometimes, for example, when I met the drunk and vagrant in the street. How to keep you safty? In my opinion, first, keep far away the drunk and vagrant. second, don't go out alone, third, don't go outside in midnight. fourth, don't show your money and in the public place. fifth, take some exercise, like Chinese kongfu, keep you strong that you could acre and fight crime. sixth, remeber the police officer telephone number, if you were crimed , call the police at once. seventh, practice shout loudly as high as you can, when met crimes you can shout:" Help! Help!".I hope everyboday will never meet a crime in his/her whole life!

Dragon-boatFestival

Dragon-boat Festival in 5th May(lunar calendar), it's very important festival in China. There are lots of legends about Dragon-boat Festival. The most famous one is about Qu yuan who was well-known great patriotic poet, therefore Dragaon-boat Festival also named "Poet Day".People will have 3 days for hoilday. At those time, people will dragon-boat racing, eatting Zongzi(a chinese tradition food made in glutinous rice with kinds of nuts and meat, covered by bamboo leaves), drinking wine mixed arsenic sulphide, and so on.

It' said Dragon-boat racing just because Qu yuan jumped into a river to commit suicide when he knew his country downfalled. So lots of people were boating Dragong-boats to pullQu yuan's body out of the water; Lots of people threw Zongzi into the river fill the fishes kept they didn't ate Qu yuan's body; drunk realgar wine kept wickedness away. People done thses things memorialize Qu yuan until now!
