Week10: Dinner at GeeSoo's & The Tree Was Falling!

Dinner at the Gee-Soo's! 

I had a wonderful weekend! One of the PHD student in composition, Gee-Soo, invited me and Nacho having dinner at her house. Gee-Soo is from Korea. She prepared some Korean cuisine for us: Kimchi, Korean pancake (?) and a special kind of salted leaves that you can roll rice to eat with, tasted delicious! She used a traditional Korean China pot to cook rice, but for me it looked more like an antique, very beautiful. Gee-Soo said that nowadays there aren't many people using it for rice cooking because it requires no electricity, instead, it needs proper heat and pressure. I guess all one might need is just some experience to do it well (and right species of rice of course :p) because I think the rice cooked tasted really good, saturated with water and elasticity! 











A Sibelius user might find the stickers helpful! Gee-Soo said she got it from e-bay!




The tree's falling!


Sunday morning when I was riding the bike heading to the Uni as usual, something blocked my way... It was a tree lying before me (I guess it was blown down by the bloody wind the night before because it I didn't see the fallen tree Saturday night!) At first I thought I was on the wrong way... I happened to carry the camera with me so I took a few, for me this is an odd scene that barely happened in Taiwan, I mean, we hardly have a forest like the common, let along seeing a tree fallen?? very special!!  





But then the next day when I rode to the school through the same path, I saw that tree blocking the way disappeared, some workers came to fix the route and cut down the tree. I was impressed by the efficiency how thing was managed!
