食べすぎ!気持ち悪い

今天又丟了一大袋東西,鞋子和衣服 還有書,開始打包東西,心情很感傷,昨天晚上也睡不好,還做了惡夢,夢到台北的街頭還有以前的回憶,夢見台北的景色就會勾起一幕幕記憶,那些辛苦唸書,活在不滿足的世界裡,不敢自我肯定又充滿自卑感的自己,但是來了荷蘭這幾個月,我成長許多,稍微見過一點市面,總算能理解和分析複雜的人際關係和社會環境!

昨天荷蘭贏了! 贏了Slovakia 2:1 荷蘭實力真的很強! 但是天氣真的好熱,我看完上半場就跑去睡午覺了!今天下午在common room看了球賽,日本輸給了巴拉圭,好傷心喔! 日本很努力了!我覺得是運氣不好而已

小天是第一個回台灣,我們今天和她的mentor一起吃晚餐,我們聊了許多台灣好玩好吃好看的資訊,希望小天的Mentor聖誕假期可以來台灣玩! 呵呵

回到台灣就像要面對殘酷的現實! 可是我提醒自己不可以這麼想! 來荷蘭一年,我也成長不少!不要再有一些不成熟的想法了! 我要拿起勇氣,勇敢面對回台灣的事情! 在此之前,必須想辦法如何只能帶20kg行李回去!還有順利完成期末考! 哈哈

It takes a lot of courage to go back to Taiwan.
en Ik hou van Holland!!

謝謝Jacquelien & Bart & Their family, friends.

過些日子再放上照片吧!

Nijmegen-Utrecht-Groningen

不可以忘記最重要的事情: 持續寫Blog.

週二一大早,買了B票,坐上火車前往Nijmegem. 陪Selina看一棟房子和參觀她未來的學校!
昨晚還在擔心,跟不熟的朋友出去,又要進行Social 令我感到很挫折. 因為我的心中覺得我自己很不喜歡與人社交
沒想到坐火車的路上 大家聊的非常開心,談論中文的語源和政治經濟
下午一點抵達Nijmegen 逛市中心及在河邊看看風景,去看了一個非常糟糕的房間,我告訴Selina完全不要考慮它
她也非常請楚,覺對不會住這裡.之後我們去Roubund University, 拜訪兩位同學
時間非常緊湊,為了趕上五點半火車再繼續前往Utrecht,我們只小聊一會兒. 天氣非常悶熱,感覺快要中暑了.
途中火車經過Ede-Wageninen,突然想起五月份有來過瓦村觀光呢!
六點半左右抵達Utrecht 再跳上公車 前往Tiasnimbas Business School.
為了聽取這所學校的碩士課程資訊,我大老遠從葛村跑道烏特列支,我快斷氣了
大約一小時Presentation,流程非常順暢,介紹的也很詳細,也有不斷互動. Tiasnimbas主要強調德的教學方式就是小班教學,課堂討論及師生互動非常重要. 我必須仔細思考未來我是否適合讀這所學校,Tiasnimbas en Rug 不同,規模不同,歷史不同,但是在商學教育上,內容其實都一樣! 國際化的程度也很高! 我覺得這所學校非常優秀!

坐上九點五十分的火車,Selina和我已經非常疲累,也沒力氣說話,只能攤在椅子上睡覺.我們半夜十二點才回到葛村,但是天空還有有一點點明亮,令我覺得特別,而且夜晚的葛村真的很美,很舒服! Ik hou van Groningen.

我覺得台灣需要更國際化!荷蘭也是個小國家,但是荷蘭人說英語很流利,也很會做生意,包容力也很好,又有許多外來移民和外國人,這是非常好的優勢! 台灣雖然是高科技產業聞名全球,但是台灣人的英文不流利,對西方文化存在羨慕感又有不客觀的看法,不了解歐洲各國的文化,也不了解大陸文化(台灣和大陸文化完全不一樣 但是不在於那邊優,那邊劣的比較),臺灣人即使再有人情味,再好客,語言不通,不夠國際化,怎麼Present我們的好個性.

我還必須仔細思考未來碩士,要如何選擇和準備!

人情味 Humanity

H先生從中國回來荷蘭了! 我好開心! 從臉書上,看到他去了北京和上海,他去參加了上海世博展, 他不在荷蘭時,我覺得沒有他的荷蘭, 讓我有點寂寞, 只是一點點的思念.他在荷蘭,感覺他不會那麼遙遠了!荷蘭也變得讓我更喜歡待在這裡, 雖然根本沒有機會見到他! 哈哈哈

人情味
從Selina述說她發生腳踏車的車禍故事後,引發我的想法. 中國人的文化中,常提到人情味,要翻譯成英文其實很難,查網路 有人翻譯Humanity or Human taste 但是這些翻譯感覺都不能精準表達'人情味' Humanity

她說這位年輕的荷蘭男孩 撞到她卻沒說對不起 而她已經說了兩次對不起,我覺得這位年輕人有點冷感
就跟策略管理同組裡的兩個荷蘭年輕男孩ㄧ樣,有點不太禮貌又喜歡在外國人面前說荷蘭文 哈哈哈
但是我並不是不相信,這個國家缺乏人情味,有時候是見仁見智.

今天Spain V Zwi 0:1 西班牙輸給瑞士,我以為西班牙比較穩,但是瑞士踢的比較好!這週六是荷蘭vs日本! 哈哈哈 我一定支持荷蘭!

H先生回來荷蘭了!比我預期的還要快回來! 他寫了北京歡迎你 五個字,我不知道他為什麼要寫五個繁體字,但是他應該在中國玩的很開心! 他終於在荷蘭了! 我也很開心! 哈哈哈 好白痴喔! 我自己

Go Netherlands!

Netherlands V Denmark.
Let the orange lion roars!

World Cup

It's quite fun and exciting to watch World Cup in Europe. No time difference. Also, watching the game with different nationality friends is very fun! I felt very happy in Groningen now. Today, German won Australia by 4:0. German played very well.

Yesterday, England V USA. Eng goalkeeper made a blunder resulting 1:1 in the end. Selina, Amy and I were supposed to go to Belgium bar drinking cherry bier. But It was so crowded there. So we went to grand cafe for drinking. After that, we had kip kabap for snack. Oh my god, I should downsize my appetite!

厭食症 Anorexia

我好胖! 我的臉長出雙下巴了! 簡直太恐怖了!
人生中 首次體重達到63kg, 我應該要反省,太放縱自己的飲食習慣,在荷蘭就變成這麼胖
我懷疑喝酒也是造成肥胖的原因之一. 紅酒 啤酒或是伏特加熱量其實都很高! 飲料喝太多也是會變胖的! 我明明很窮 居然還吃的這麼胖! 真是悲哀

我要開始給自己壓力,我要得厭食症 Anorexia!!
我覺得自己的身體在退化中,新陳代謝不正常! 我的肝請對我好一點!

絆 Kizuna

牽絆=Bonds, きずな(kizuna)

中文和日文都有這兩個字 意思是彼此的關係連在一起,互相影響對方. 表示難以分開的關係,於是產生 '牽絆'

我希望能與歐洲的朋友有牽絆, 我即將要與朋友們分開, 但願未來能再見面, 我了解這是不能強求的事情 , 只能想著也許有著牽絆 總有一天能引我到這些朋友們的身邊 享受重逢相聚的快樂

友情的牽絆! 希望我能再見到H先生!


When I Stop Using Facebook...

Monday morning, meeting on 10 am in Zernike, struggling with the case of Nordic B2B case, discussing with 3 members, two Dutches and one Polish.

Weather is not friendly which rained in the morning. Jan, one of the boy, said it's a good weather to study. Honestly, I agreed with him. It has been sunny in the whole last week, I always went out to have fun under the sun. Needless to say, I spend little time studying. Since this week is going to be bad weather, it's very good for me to stay inside and start reading.

Aleks were checking facebook during our meeting. She said when she go home, her facebook would just die since she doesn't use facebook with her Polish friends so often. Only with the Erasmus students, she will use facebook to keep in touch. Arjan said Dutch have it's own social network. For me, it is same. When I stop using Facebook, it will be the day that I go back to Taiwan. I won't use facebook to contact my friends in my home country.

Then, what about those my lovely friends in Europe? Maybe I will check facbook once in a week and wish them all happy everyday and write some greeting words.

Life in Groningen is very nice and comfortable. I want to say again the words: Ik hou van Groningen.

今日 暑い!

The temperature in Groingen this week is high. It's hot in these days.
I went jogging with Jenny on Saturday afternoon in noorpark which is closed to Moesstraat. We had run for 30 mins. Surprisingly, we saw lots of sheep in the park. And there are two man shaving sheep. We felt very exciting since it's really close to our place, and it's so easily to see many animal.
Suddenly, I found myself have a deeply love of this city, Groningen. Ik hou van Groningen!

Another picnic on Sunday afternoon. The local church organize the picnic in stadpark. I enjoyed talking with friends in church. But I felt very tired. The weather is too hot for me. In the evening, Linda invited me to Sushi all-you-can-it restaurant with her friends. There are 6 people joined the dinner. And we spent about 180 euros in Sushi. It's really amazing!! ==''

WSN House Warming

Yesterday was FEB house warming festival. It was also an important day in China, fourth of June, an accident that many Chinese died in 1989.

I felt that I had little handover in the morning because I had 2 shots and some biers last night. Taiwanese celebrated Amy Kang and Yu-Chien Lee birthday together in Euroburg Chinese restaurant. The all-you-can-eat meal was very good. I haven't eaten seafood for a long time. Among seafood, my favorite is shrimp. I like to eat shrimp since I was a child. lol

House warming festival was a great event which I really had fun in these activities. Grace and I attend a Tarot cards section. I asked a question that whether I could see a friend of mine in future (within the next five year). Tarot cards start with 'teaching' card which shows that I will learn. It's a little hard to interpret. The second card shows a man, woman and an angel which shows it could become a friendship or other possible relation. I have to ask for help. The lady said it is very important for me for this relation, because only asking for help can generate positive impact. The third card is like a sign which tells me not to force anything or stop thinking about doing something. Because it is a negative effect toward what I really want. The forth card is the outcome of this searching for answer of the question. It is a positive sign which the lady interpreted that whether the way goes to what I wish or not, I'll be happy in future (at least within five years). The beautiful and kind lady said she felt I was emotional at the moment. I am a little confused about it. Maybe my face is easily to become emotional. Anyway, I like the answer from these cards because no matter what, I will be happy in the end. lol For better or worse, things don't always go the way we want and I can understand it. So I will follow the cards' advice and don't force or push too hard on related things. Just let it be. lol

After came back from Zernike, Selina invited me to go out for drinking. Although I felt tired, but I could refuse to her since she said she also had a busy and tiring day as me. I thought just the thing be and go in anyway. I met a new friend, a Taiwanese girl who studied master in business in RuG. She began to talk about the difference of Dutch women, i.e, Dutch girls are tough. For example, a one night stance is asked by a girl if she want. She will stop any connection after a one night stance. So, in stead of the boy dump a girl after one night love, like we always hear or know. Dutch girls have the principle. It's a very strong advantage of Dutch woman. This culture inspire me. I should learn from my Dutch female friends. ha ha~

Lekker Weer

Dit is goed weer. It's a beautiful and sunny day. Although it's very cool but not warm in my opinion. However, Dutch already wear summer cloth like they are in beach. =='' I felt really hard to accept that Dutch could stand such low temperature. Anyway, enjoy it is the most important thing.

I went to Zernike to attend an Exchange Festival in Henze. Henze students organized an activity in order to collect money for Africa. I asked them about the motivation of this event. They said it's their minor course : Creating International Activity. It's quite meaningful and interesting.

Elmo talked about the outlet in Masschrit which makes me want to go to go shopping too. Time flies very fast. I want to stay in Netherlands longer. However, I have to go home to finish my study.

World cup is coming. Common room is decorated with many national flags.

Lemon Meringue Pie

I watched Desperate Housewives season 4 ep 2. Bree were trying to make a perfect lemon Meringue pie which make me want to make this pie too. So I will study the recipe and make my first lemon Meringue pie in this week. lol

I am thinking about e-mail to my two German friends. I should tell them something what I am doing now. JJ, my older sister in Netherlands will go to China for 2 weeks. I am going to miss her. Dutch guy is already in China and attending the world expo. Facebook is forbidden in China which means I'm going to miss him deeply too. However, I also ... remind myself not to miss him. Because it is futile.

Ziad went back to France last week because he had a exam in his school. But he will leave Groningen for good after two weeks. I really miss him. Ziad is my good friend in Moesstraat.

I studied for a little time and fall sleep again in the afternoon. But I didn't know that Derek forget his keuken duty today until the manager ask me where is he. I don't like to help Derek doing his keuken duty. (Angry) He's in Prague now and will come back in 1st of June which is today. He must help my keuken duty next time!
