Wildlife Ranch- African Safari(Texas Style)

My boyfriend, I and another couple friends went to Wildlife Ranch-African Safari in Spring Break. This tour is by car, so we don't have to walk and just stay in the car to watch animals. It was a sunny day, and it was almost 11 o'clock when we arrived there. There were many cars waiting for buying tickets, and we got a CD which introduce preparation before entering the Ranch from the empolyee. It cost $16 per adult, and we could get a package of animals food for each car. We got started to see animals after we paid for tickets. I guess that there were around 10 kinds of animals in this Wildlife Ranch. Deer was most common animals that we saw, and there were many kinds of deer; My favorite one is spotted deer. While we were driving on the road in Wildlife Ranch, some of animals were moving or walking on the road. Sometimes there were a little bit traffic jam on specific road because animals were moving slowly, and visitors had to wait for animals across from the roads. I fed a deer in the car and took a picture with it. I noticed that deer use their tongue to ear food and their teeth same as peopel's. Feeding was really fun and deer didn't make me scare, but ostrich really make me afraid. Ostrich is really big and strong and sometimes they sticked its head and neck in our car. When Ostrich was fed by us, they had very strong strength to eat food. If people fed Ostrich by hand, and people must get hurt. I also saw a kinds of cow, and thier horns like UT longhore. Honghores just took a rest under the tree, so we couldn't see them closed, and it was a little bit pity. In order to see longhores closed, we drove on the way again, but they were still far from us. Finally, we went back with really strong sunlight!

They are My Best Friends

There are four people in this photograph; Miss "Hair" was on the left, I was the second on the left, Miss "Flower" was the second on the right, and Miss "Ni" was on the right. Miss "Hair" "Flower" and "Ni" have been my best friends for around 10 years. We were classmates in middle school and high school, and we still kept in touch after graduated high school. I think that one of the reasons why we gather together and become really closed friends is that we have similar personality. First, we have not really well temper except Miss "Flower." When we face somthing, we are angry easily. For example, we sometimes fighted with our boyfriends, we lost our temper easily. I know it's not good thing, but it's difficult to change. In addition, we always get something the chest out each other. When one of us had really bad emotion, we must become the listener, and we also comforted her. Absolutely, we blamed someone who make her have bad emotion. Finally, we share all of things such as our family, love, and school life. Even though we live in different city right now, we still know each other what happen to my best friends because of our secret place-our secret blog. Recently, we are in different condition; Miss "Flower" has some money trouble in her family, so I hope she could go throught this period; Miss "Hair" has to take exams for working in the government department, I hope she must study well and get good score; Miss "Ni" has routine job and sometimes get angry because of her boyfriend, I hope everything is fine. How about me? I hope I can get a good job I want after I go back and learn English well in U.S.A. To my best friend: I really miss you guys!

( It was in one of visting parks in Kyoto during Sakura Festival)

(It was one part of Shinjuku Gyoen新宿御苑 in Japan.)

(It was unknown area Tokyo downtown, and it was near our hotel in Japan. Everywhere you could see the Sakura around you.)

(It was the other famous park to see Sakura wihch is called Uenoonishi Park上野恩賜公園. There were many people sitting under Sakura trees and drinking bear!)

There will be a well known and popular festival which is Cherry Blossoms Festival in Japan in one month. Cherry Blossoms are called "Sakura" in Japanese, and we also call Sakura same as Japan in my country. Since Japan is really closed to Taiwan, many people in my country visited Japan for Sakura Festival in Spring. While Sakura Festival is coming, the weather forecast will predict when does Sakura bloom; it's really important. :) I visited Japan one year ago for Sakura Festival with my mother and my younger sister. Before we got started to Japan, we really were afraid to miss the timing of Sakura Bloom. Fortunately, we saw a lot of Sakura in many different park. First of all,we visited one of parks in Tokyo to see Sakura. It's not really famous one, but there were still a lot of people visiting there(picture 3). When I was this park, I felt excited, and I thought that it was much enough. After that, we visited other really famous tourist site to see Sakura which was Shinjuku Gyoen新宿御苑. There were a lot of and many kinds of Sakuran blooming during Sakura Festival, and it was awesome and amazing!!(picture 1&2&4) I highly recommend! I saw the view which was that many people had a picnic and sat under Sakura trees. We also sat under Sakura trees and enjoyed Sushi with breeze and fallen Sakura petals. I haven't forgotten that moment, and I really love it! Additionally, you could see Sakura around you during Sakura Festival. I saw many Sakura trees along the road or other unknown park. The fifth picture was near my hotel along the small river. Finally, we visited the other famous park which are called Uenoonshi Park上野恩賜公園. It also had a lot of Sakura in the park. When were there, many Sakura already fell down, but there were still many people picnic there. It was very interesting and same as I watched this condition on TV. Many Japanese guys who looked like high school students drank bear and chated(picture 6). I really love this trip, and I recommend you visiting Japan during Sakura Festival! This post is for my Japanese friend, Noriko.
