Back ground music "What a Wonderful World", please.

Today, I decided to go to school by train instead of my car, coz I'm not in a hurry for any class today. I was going to school just to cheer up my students for the in-school English oral reading competition.

On the way back home, due to the lack of experience for taking trains between my home and school, I took the wrong way! I realized my mistake immediately before arriving the next stop. When I got off the train and walked to the right platform to wait for the right train to take me home, I luckily found out that there's one girl who got on the same wrong train just like me! She's local and knows a lot about southern Taiwan, while I'm always staying in the northern side of Taiwan and would seldom come down if it weren't for my new job. We got along very well, and she even gave me one serving of pudding made by the most famous pudding shop in town!! In fact, I just heard of this famous great shop a few days ago from reading one of my students' English writing! She definitely didn't have to share! But she did, of her own free will, people! And because of this reason, I felt this enormous warmth from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you!! You gave me something much more valuable than a pudding.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The picture above might be a little dark, because it was taken after I finished my classes today. The movie was played right next to the road, and movies like this aren't played everyday, but once in two months according to luner calender when the moon is full.

Phew... this makes me feel like I'm really in Taiwan, and among all, in a very unsophisticated, down-to-earth countryside in Taiwan.
