My Father from Kazakhstan




There’s something surprised me at late night. I received a message when it was 1 am at late night. It’s my host father from Kazakhstan! He came to Taiwan for a short business trip. He came with his colleague, and they attended to the exhibitions in Taipei World Trade Center. It’s unbelievable! It’s a long time I haven’t see him. I miss him very much! He asked me if it’s convenient for me to meet him at four o’clock pm. Then the other day we met at Grand Hyatt. It was really moved to see him. I almost cried when he gave me a big hug. We talked about everything about Kazakhstan, about my dearest host family, about the people we spent time that summer with. We invited him to have dinner with us this evening. We brought him to buy some latest VAIO computer, which is my host sister asked for. (Her name is Annya, she always loves fashion thing, what a new one comes out, she takes it immediately!) after we had some shopping, It’s a pity that I have to go back to school. I asked my host father to come back again. Then we can bring them to see beautiful views in Taiwan. I’m just expecting to see them soon. Even they’re just gone back to their nation, I begin to miss them.

Holidays

These four days vacation, we went back to Kaohsiung to visit my grand parents, also cleaning the tombs of the ancestors. My grand parents are so happy to see us that even prepared desserts and foods when it’s 1 am at late night! After the long drive, using up all our strength, all we want to do is going to sleep immediately.

The following days, we went for lessons of equestrianism. At first, I thought it will be really fun if I could ride a horse. After the teacher taught us how to stand up and sit down when the horse is trotting. I only had a thought: Maybe my bones will always be separated if I continuously having this lesson! This is the first day’s condition, after I got some rest, the second day, it was all perfect without any trouble. Teacher let me controlled the horse by myself, I used the reins to lead the directions. It’s so great that I could ride horse, it’s just like I’m the people when it’s 17 or 18 century. And the most impressive thing is, I get along well with animals, using peaceful way. Horses are the animals that close human being much more than other animals. I think, it’s really a breakthrough, riding horse, but learn a lesson.
