I enjoyed watching the movie a lot because the language and the misunderstandings are very interesting to me. I like the charactor Chance as he is very innocent and says whatever his mind says; he doesn't need to spend any time picking a suitable word. He even called the president "buddy". I also like the way he talks; he talks very slowly and calmly. No matter whom he talks with, he is always so calm, which made people think his words are very deep even though he is just talking about gardening languages. I don't like Eve very much because she seems a bit loose; she is so good at showing her feelings to Chance while she doesn't even know his real name and back ground. I think she likes people who have or had high positions and who are or were wealthy; she seems excited when she thinks Chance's name is Chancey Gardiner. Money and high positions don't mean anything to me. I think real love is based on how well we know each other and how real we are when we are together.
This movie is full of ironies. People haven't even discovered Chance's real name and his background when the movie reaches the end. It is a perfect movie which indicates the politics, the government, the publishing industry, the educational system, race relations, human sexuality, the American public in one short movie and meanwhile it contains a lot of humor.

Victoria Day Trip
It's been a long time for me to enjoy a trip. I liked travelling when I was a little child although the memory wouldn't stay for very long. However, fate destroyed my taste of travelling, and I have been stressed about any trip since then. I have always preferred staying home and being in my own world. The idea of going to Victoria before going back to Japan had obsessed me for a long time. As I realized that it was almost time to go back, I decided to go to Victoria with CAs and ELI friends yesterday.
I had no expectation that the trip would be enjoyable, but thanks to my friends and one of the CAs, it turned out to be a very pleasant one.
We met at 8:15 at Vancouver City Center in the morning, and then headed to the ferry. I liked the ferry very much. Although it was 1 and a half hours on it, time went by very quickly, and we soon arrived in Victoria. We took a school bus to the Butchart Garden, and we spent about 2 hours enjoying the garden. It was supposed to rain, but it didn't. All the flowers there looked so energetic and colourful. There was also a Japanese Garden in it; everything was so delicate.
In the afternoon we went to the Royal BC Meseum, and watched IMAX movie. The screen there is 10 times as big as the one in a movie theater. One of our friends bought too much popcorns there, so we had to share it as we couldn't take it with us while visiting the museum afterwards. The movie and the museum took us so long that we didn't have time to visit the Miniature World.
In the evening, we ate dinner by the sea close to the Empress Hotel outside. The beautiful scenery made me drunk. I felt happy, and relaxed. I was happy and I laughed a lot even the things were not actually that interesting. I know my laughter is very unique in a bad way:( when I am really laughing so hard. I wish I didn't scare people there:P
We took a ferry back to Vancouver at night, and we played very interesting games on the ferry. I felt unusually energetic even when it was 11 at night. I didn't want the long day to end so quickly as I was afraid of a new day's coming. I couldn't figure out what made me feel relaxed today; I know it was just some shallow happiness, but I felt the memory somehow valuable.

Greetings and self introduction
I'm glad to be able to study for 3 more months. Time goes by so quickly and it's already passed my half way of life in Vancouver. I like Canada, and I know that I will miss life here so much.
As you can tell from my name, I'm Chinese, and I was born and raised in Jiangsu Province untill 16. I've lived in Japan for almost 5 years since September 2006. I went to high school there, and now I'm a university student. I lived in Japan alone, and I hope my parents can visit Japan some day too.
I like writing, and I gain happiness from writing sad stories. However, not all of my writings are sad; I do have some happy times as well. I think only by enjoying writing, we can improve writing skills quickly in limited time.
I hope we can be friends, and know each other more by reading our blogs. I plan to do some sightseeing before going back to Japan, and I hope we can go together somewhere:) .
