Stay and Relax

Each year, I usually find a week to travel around southern or eastern of Taiwan. However, being a graduate student, I didn’t have too much time this year. I remember forever that I went to the trip during the school time instead of weekend. In fact, I have to go to school only two days a week because I had already finished most of the credit. Last year might be the happiest time in my life.

This year, though, I didn’t have more time than before. I just remember what the plan I should to accomplish. I had been eastern of Taiwan in the beginning of this semester. Thus, I decided to go to southern of Taiwan in the end of this summer vacation. This time I still go to Chiayi and Tainan due to I recognize more people there and I could find out somewhere to stay during this week. I started off on Thursday afternoon when I had just finished my works. Then I arrived there in the evening. First day, we didn’t have any special plan. After eating dinner, I went home and take a rest. Next day was for tennis. I had practiced for about four months, although there are few plays before. My opponent has much more experience than I, so I also want to learn some skill from him. After playing tennis, we didn’t go anywhere except the night market where I had been last year. The night markets in southern of Taiwan are always much bigger than what in northern of Taiwan.



The next day, we drove car so we had much freedom. We went to the coast of Chiayi where far from the downtown. We also went some mountain area where is very different from other place near Chiayi due to there is usually plain. However, it had more freedom before. There were still some unfinished works in my lab which was waiting for me to solve. We had no choice but went back to school early. Though, the time that I stayed in southern of Taiwan is fewer than I had imagined. I had even canceled out the total plan in Tainan. I still I have lots of rewards this time.
