牛媽的日誌

I've gone through two summers, two autumns, one winter, and one spring in the UK. Actually, it's always raining and windy at Manchester, but I really like the weather here. It's not too wet and not too hot, especially. Regarding the double wet and hot weather in Taiwan occurs to me, I always feel headache…I’m so afraid I can’t stand it anymore…

There are almost two months I’m going to stay here as I’ve bought the ticket to go back Taiwan.

After finishing work, I just wanted to eat something tastes salty, therefore, on my way home, I went to KFC as I heard that a new spicy fried chicken launched last month in the UK. Then, I was so happy to bring this family basket and walked along with the river side as usual. I know I need to enjoy every time when I walk in Manchester while the time to go back home is closer and closer. It is real complicated mood to face the fact, leaving here. I know that is a life, Raza always says. I real like the slow paces here. I remember, last week, when I meet my supervisor, I told to him it will be a special year in my life. Then, he replied me why? Suddenly, I was surprised, yes, why? Maybe I’ll have another special experience in my life. But, I’m sure the Master degree will be the final degree for me as I’m so lazy on studying although the student’s life is the happiest time. hehe.

I think I get used to take my time and slow down my pace through this year in the UK. I still remember the first day when I registered for my summer course, it took me whole day!! At that time, I can’t believe it, why does this simple thing still need so much time to finish? Its totally difference from my city where everything is always so rush and everyone is always in a hurry. Hustle and bustle in my city can be seen everywhere. With many fashion and modern facilities and technology, we always can do anything on time quickly and efficiently not only office works but also private stuffs in our daily lives. But, through this year, I realize that this situation maybe just appears in many Asian cities, like Tokyo, Singapore, Hung Kung, Shan High, and Taipei, on contrary, in most of European countries, everyone usually takes his/her time and they are look like more patience to face anything. Hence, I think I like this value of life gradually…I like to take my time and slow down my pace coz I know when I do so I can find more new things and interesting stuffs around me. But when the day I need to go back is coming, I start to worry about if I can involve into the hurried city and life again. I’m so afraid.
