Chinese Native Medicine

I caught a serious cool When I arrived Calgary. It lasted more than 20 days. Calary is colder than China at that time, and I didn' t wear warm clothes. It was a hard time for me. I was coughing 、headache、weak and thratache. Fortunately, I took some painkillers 、cough medicines and cold tablets. I drank ginger soup everyday. In China some people eat western medicine because it can make you feel better soon, and some peolpe prefer Chinese native medicine. In china believe that wastern medicine have side effects , Chinese native medicine doesn't. Chinese native medicine had over five thousands years age in China. People used plants、flowers、mineral and everything in nature. Althoug people don't ill they also take some Chinese native medicine to keep them strong and comfortable. Usually people would like use Chinese native medicine to cook and drink.

My life in Calgary

I have been in Calgary 2 months. I will leave here in the end of this month. I love this city, love my new friends and teachers. Calgary is a very clean, beautiful, polite city. The weather here is a litter terrible. I lived in downtown where there are lots of beautiful building ,nice park and kind warm firendly people. When I finished my diner, I liked to walk along the stree and have a short rest in the park near my apartment. I went to U OF C from Monday to Friday. It's very convenient. I just needs walk 15 minutes and 20 minutes takes subway. I love peaceful, clean U of C, especially for my kind helpful teachers and lovely nice classmates. Some of them beacame my best and close friends. I have a good time in U of C everyday. In every weekend, I need to go to T&T buy some food for the next week. There are lots of nice China goods and Asia goods, they're more expensive than goods in China. When I finished my homework and housework. My friends and I would go to some clubs for relax and fun in the evening. There is a large different between my job life and Calgary life, it's very busy and pressure in my job life, and the Calgary life is comfortable and joyful. Althoug the Calgary life is very nice, I miss my family very much. I don't want to leave Caglary and my best friends, and also I want to meet my family soon. It's very hard for me. when I left Calgary I would give my best wishes to Calary, U of C, my dear teacher and friends forever!

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!
