A PICTURE'S WORTH >> UNFORGETTABLE FRIENDSHIP

       

 
     I was a volunteer in the World Dance Sport Games from September 16 to 20, 2013. During that week, I met different people from different cultures. All of them were extraordinary dancers from their own countries. It was an exciting experience. I was an assistant for sixteen people from four different areas: Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Poland.
 
     My job is to accompany the dancers all the time, help them deal with trivial things, remind them about some important things, etc. We have been working together for a whole week. They were so friendly that we treated each other like families. I think that's why we built a profound relationship. Because of this, we had a great difficulty when saying goodbye to each other.
 
     On the day the Swiss were going to leave, I went to Kaohsiung international airport to say goodbye. We asked a passenger in the airport to help us take this photo. It was our last photo during those days. To me, this photo was like an ending for the World Dance Sport Games. But I am sure this one will not be the last one!!! We will definitely meet again someday and have more photos!

Kindergarten Robbery

Midnight, about 11 pm., a thief used tools to broke the walls and sneaked into a private kindergarten in Ipswich, Suffolk. A safe containing £ 1,200 in the nursery wheelie bin had gone. The nursery school claimed that they were so shocked they were targeted when they are a just a nursery. And policemen promised that they are doing all they can to arrest the thief.
