MY PETS
Rabbits are so cute that I can stroke its skin again and again. And I put the cage into a wardrobe to avoid my parent found out. Although its urine is so terrible, it has no flavor from its body. So I can embrace it like a doll.
Also my sister feeds three guinea pigs now. And it is a little pitiful that the weather in winter in Yangmingshan is really cold. So every year when the winter comes, we all worry about them. Comfortingly they are happy with the others :). No matter any kind of pets always give a lot of surprises in our life. And we hope them would accompany us forever.
Recently, I go to the university in Taipei, so I can’t take it with me. I ‘m so sorry to it because I ‘m irresponsible breeder now. It’s brief time when I come back to Yi-lan. Therefore, I think it can practice the responsibility to feed pets. Although I’m a fail breeder now will do my best later time to increase the time with my lovely rabbits.
Three guinea pigs :)

Small group of US experts insist global warming not man-made
"The inescapable conclusion is that human contribution is not significant and that observed increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming," Douglas wrote.
But I feel difficult on some professed vocabulary like: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), solar winds, terrestrial magnetic field…after read it at the first time. Therefore, I searched those above words on Internet, knowing the IPCC is an organization which organized by UN and researching the reason of the climate changing.
Recently, IPCC announced a research that the greenhouse effect is virtually certain made by human. After that there were some actions have been held by powerful country in the world. Including “KYOTO PROTOCOL TO THE UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE” was bringing into force in 2005.
Although the majority countries believe human made the climate changing, those experts insisted that there are not certain result to prove. And they think the external factor including, solar wind, terrestrial magnetic field is most serious then human actions.
Of course, those above reason may be an important one. But I think the human is the major reason in greenhouse effect. According a lot of film about climate changing, the industrial actions produce many greenhouse gases. And the industry advance year to year, the greenhouse effect become worse, too.
Finally, I think everything have variety opinions in the world. Remembering there was an argument about if abolishes the death penalty. In fact, I disapproved about that. However, when I saw the issue why they insisted to abolish the death penalty. I think their issue is meaningful and will make the society more safe rather than killing people finally. So, being a human in the world should know different sides in everything.

Guishan Island
The methods which go to the Guishan Island is by the ship. That is the reason that why I didn’t go with her because I always have serious seasick on the ship….So it is terrible thing for me to take a ship to trip. There are without inhabitants live in. People are limited, and sometime have to hold the application to go to.My friend who climbed Guishan Island said there are beautiful and natural. However, I must eat the medicine to avoid seasick or I shall can't to see the view there forever.
I think it is necessary limiting people because many famous spot were destroyed by tourists all over the world. According news we know some spots will disappear soon like: Angkor Wat. Angkor in Cambodia, coral-reef coast in south Taiwan and other countries and so on…. But the most important thing is the behavior of people treating to historic relics. Be careful to treat those World Heritages and give the right for next one to see them.

When the Halloween is coming, my neighbors who come from America will decorate their house with some things like: punkin, death’s-head, bat…and so on. But they had not come to us house, and say: Trick or treating! It’s interesting to us because we do not have the festival. And it seem important to every westerner. The date of the Halloween is soon coming. So I want to realize it much by this time.
From the article, I know the rise of the Halloween Day which was from pagan traditions. It’s amazing to me because it is now celebrated by western world. Why I am interest in Halloween because the punkins are really cute. And the supermarket would sell that in Taiwan. One year my brother had some program about the festival in his school. Culture is learned around the world. It’s interesting and meaningful to everyone.

New Seven Worlders of the World
The Swiss-based NOWC claims more than 100 million votes were cast through the Internet or by telephone. Since nothing prevented fans, government or tourism agencies from casting multiple votes, the poll is considered "decidedly unscientific".[2]
NOWC relied on private donations, the sale of merchandise such as shirts and cups, and revenue from selling broadcasting rights.
The program drew a wide range of official reaction. Some countries touted their finalist and tried to get more votes cast for it, while others downplayed or criticized the contest.[2][1] UNESCO has distanced itself from the undertaking.[3]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The report is a few before the months.But until I was just real to understand the content of this report today.
This is the first thing I learning from the journal (blog) postings is that read report not examine hurriedly.Why I choose the repot as my journal is that I never travel any world besides Taiwan.Oh! That is mean I'm never taking plane to somewhere ,either. At all event, I'd better know some famous spots of the world.
New Seven Worlders of the world is a little part of the famous scenic spots. I also looking else spots that not be voted into the New Seven worlders because those spots of my mind should in the list but they are not. Amazing of the result is that The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt was not voted in The New Seven.The only one was observed ancestry's inheritance in the old seven greatest miracles in the world of my knowledge .So,how great spot it is! But it was ranked the eighth. Some spot also are the greatest inheritances in my mind wasn't included the New Seven like Easter Island Moais in Easter island, Angkor Wat in Angkor,Stonehenge in Amesbury...etc.
The first time when I saw about the argument of the report on the TV is that the New Seven was considered unscientific because it was open online to poll by people all over the world. And it is easy causing some nationlist attempting breaking down the equity of the poll.
Althought it aroused many arguments,the most improtant thing I learning from the report is that we should respect the opinions from other people.Especially in the period of the global village.We will alway meet someone who come from different country.And the culture differ from country to country.If we can't revere different opinions arround ourselves in the small group now.How dealing some things with someone who come from different country after we graduate from college.Respect different viewpoints and opinoins is that I learning from it.
