Going to Danshui (淡水)

Yesterday, Sunday, was a very nice day. I decided to go up to Danshui (淡水) with my girlfriend and friends. After having brunch in the Shida night market, we headed to Danshui on the MRT. 45 minutes later, we arrived. Sun shining, we stepped out of the station and joined the crowds already bustling about. On nice days, everybody has the same idea: go outdoors. We sat on the steps near the edge of the water (or where the water would usually be). It was low-tide so all the debris, usually underwater, was revealed. We watched as crabs dug their homes in the mud and the birds catching small fish.
We then decided to stroll down the boardwalk. What a mess! So many people walking into each other! Thankfully most are in a good mood so there are no problems. Danshui is a popular place for trying Taiwanese snacks, so we had to try some. Along the walk, we ate some fried fishballs, grilled lamb skewers, tall ice cream, and small fried eggs ( I think they're quail eggs). I also played a game where I shoot balloons with a gun. With my superb aim, I was able to win a batman piggy bank.
We spent several hours there, milling around, stopping when we saw something interesting. Going to Danshui, however, is always tiring. So we left and headed back home. It was a nice Sunday afternoon spent with good people.

Wow!What a nice Sunday,I also went to Danshui last weekend,I saw a lot of fish swim in the pool ,some crabs crawling on the beach.Although it was a cloudy day,I feel happy.I had my lunch at a restaurant.I ate many sea food,It was really delicious.After that,I went to see the sea,the sun set shining on the water,the orange color was really beautiful.On the way back,I saw many birds flying in the sky,oh,I was very envy them because they was really free.This is my experience,it was really the most beautiful experience in life, I hope I can go there next time.Maybe we can go there together.

I'm David Wen (Up Man).I want to share my experient to Danshui,too.
last time I went to Danshui is on last year.I went there with my parents,my uncle,my aunt,my brother,and my little cousin by expressage.We spend several minutes to take the bus and the expressage.
When we get there,we buy something to eat because we are very hungry.
Then we go to a store to hire some bikes.We ride for a long while."Ring,ring,ring."my mother's cellphone ring."hollow."my mom said."Sorry,I am the clerk in bike's store.You're time is up.Where are you?"the clerk said."Please wait for me.I'm back now."So we ride the bike back and finish our trip.

It's really an interesting trip.
I never saw crabs dug thier home.
It might be a special experience.
I been to Kein-Ting with my family last summer,it's really hot there.
There is very different from Taipei,no noisy sound and no too many cars.It let me felt really comfortable.I also went to Ocean Park.It had thousands of fish in it,some looks ugly but some is cute.After that I went to the night market ,things at there are cheap.It was a nice trip.Maybe teacher you can go there when you are free.

It was my first experience to visit Japan.I went there in winter time,so there was a lot of snow .I stood in a high buliding and looked around.It was too beautiful to forget it.
And then I took a bus to the hotel.It was suprise to the travel leader beacuse the bus had forty seats,but we only eleven people.This team was the least people that he ever seen.
Second day,we hiked up to a high mountain to see festive lantern.And the lanterns made from ice.It was very icey.By the way,we played snow ball until 10p.m.
Next day,we backed to the city to visit the museum.Then we ate the most popular daughnuts and went shopping in the night market.I never forget this special trip.

Jeff33,
I had been to 淡水 about one year ago but the wonderful experience is still let me want to
go there again one day. Then after I read your one-day trip journal, I am planning to go there this weekend, to eat the large ice cream, the hot dog, the fish ball, and take a boat ride to the other side and return back.
At last, how did you ask for food, teacher? Are they all can speek English?

It was really a exciting day . In fact , I had been there many times . It was surely a beautiful place.
A few day ago , I went to Alishan with my family . It is famous for the sun rise , and we had seen it . I think it was the most beautiful view that I have never seen . I think if you have time i't better for you to go there to see it.
