永不枯萎的玫瑰 The roses never wither
Can you believe that many Americans live in their hometown all
their lives and never leave for other states ?
Don’t doubt, it is true.
As a Taiwanese, born in a small island, I have been to some Asian
countries like Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore during
1998~2001. Besides, I have visited ten states during 2002~2007.
It sounds like I love travel and I traveled a lot.
However, the truth is that I prefer staying at home and having a
nice sleep than sitting in an airplane or a car, constrained
by the seat belt. Since that, why I traveled?
Sometimes for work, sometimes for my family, sometimes for further
study, and sometimes, for my husband.
Driving me to many new places and states is the way he shows
love to me. How do I know this? He told me today when I complained
that he never bought me a rose or a surprise.
I seldom write deeply about the countries and the cities I have ever
met. Time is flying away, and too many things are waiting for
me to say hello. But, did I ever fall in love with any of the places
I have visited ?
Frankly speaking, I am not good at observing a city. I just
did eating, drinkng, and shopping there. Of course, like
many people, I always remember to date with landmarks and
high spots of a new place, taking pictures there.
The way I travel a city is not very creative, I think.
Among the cities I have been, what is my favorite city?
It is Taipei.
Not because of its delicious food and wonderful 7-11, but because
my lovely family and my little angel are waiting for me.
Whenever the plane had landed in Taipei’s airport, my mind had
found its home.

一位老員外，特別喜歡牡丹花，庭內庭外都種滿了牡丹。
老員外採了幾朵牡丹花，送給一位老翁，老翁很開心的插在花瓶裡。
隔天，鄰居激動的和老翁說：『你的牡丹花，每一朵都缺了幾片花瓣，這不是富貴不全嗎？』
老翁總覺得不妥，就把牡丹花全部還給老員外。老翁一五一十的告訴老員外，關於富貴不全的事情。
老員外忍不住笑說：『牡丹花缺了幾片花瓣，這不是富貴無邊嗎？』
老翁聽了頗有同感，選了更多的牡丹花，開心的走了。
