How I celebrated Mother's Day - Ms. Chuang (Ivy老師)

In Taiwan, Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday of May. So, yesterday was Mother's Day in Taiwan.

I took my mom to 美濃 and 甲仙. Why did I take my mom to these two small towns? 

My mom loves tasting famous snacks or food.

美濃 is famous for its 粄條, a kind of noodles made with rice.

甲仙 is the hometown of taros. You can find varieties of food made of taros.

We had taro cakes and taro ice cream.

Of course, I didn't forget carnations!

My mom had a great smile on her face when I gave her this...

愛丁堡的學伴們,你們怎麼慶祝母親節呢?

大東門

大東門位於今日的台南市東門路1段，列為三級古蹟。城門呈東西向，中開圓拱門，是捍衛府城、攻擊敵人的射擊口。城洞內鑲有一塊道光28年所立的石碑，主要內容是：不許士兵對來往此城的農商零販，予以勒索。

台南四草

在安南區大眾廟後方的「水上綠色隧道」。前身是台灣第一條運河，由清朝港官黃任所開闢，經過幾百年泥沙淤積、居民佔地而逐漸沒落。而因為河道兩旁的紅樹林，才又以自然生態為題發展出其保育及觀光價值。水上觀光有兩條路線，較便宜的竹筏主線便是綠色隧道。

做十六歲

為臺南市特有的成年禮活動，在16歲成年的七夕，向兒童守護神「七娘媽」（即織女七仙女）敬謝，以開隆宮最為鼎盛。

孔廟

臺南孔廟佔地9007平方公尺、建物面積2169.9平方公尺。位於臺南市南門路（原文廟路），是全臺最早的一座文廟，與國家臺灣文學館毗鄰。臺南孔子廟建於1665年（明永曆十九年，康熙四年），由陳永華建議鄭經在承天府桂仔埔（鬼仔埔）建立，初設時僅設大成殿，用來祭祠孔子，又稱先師聖廟，之後又設明倫堂作為講學之用，是為全臺首學，時稱「先師聖廟」。

隸屬於安平港國家歷史風景區中的安平漁人碼頭位在安億橋旁，

碼頭旁一艘艘的遊艇停靠港邊，堤岸邊設有人行木棧道，

以及半圓形的木質景觀平台，並有桌椅供民眾休憩，是適合全家假日休閒的景點。

阿里山 國家風景區

園區內的景點大致可分為三個區域，第一區為阿里山森林遊樂區本身，第二區為祝山觀日、對高岳觀日步道，第三區為眠月線、大塔山步道和阿吉縱走、阿豐縱走等。

傳統技藝

吹糖

糖人製作是一種民間手工藝，手藝人多挑一個擔子，一頭是加熱用的爐具，另一頭是糖料和工具。糖料由蔗糖和麥芽糖加熱調製而成，本色為棕黃色，也有的因加入顏料或色素而呈紅色或綠色。使用時火候的控制是關鍵，過熱則太稀易變形，偏冷又會太硬無法塑形。使用的工具很簡單，多為勺形和鏟形。

糖人不易保存，過去甜品短缺時，在把玩過後會吃掉糖人。如今出於衛生考慮，人們購買糖人更多地出於觀賞目的而非食用，任其久置變黑變質。

安平古堡

安平古堡，古稱奧倫治城（orange）、熱蘭遮城（Zeelandia）、安平城、臺灣城，位於今臺灣臺南市。最早建於1624年，是臺灣最早的要塞建築。自建城以來，曾經是荷蘭人統治臺灣的中樞、也曾經是鄭氏王朝3代的居城。

安平古堡有兩處遺跡被列為古蹟，為國家一級古蹟臺灣城殘蹟，及國定古蹟熱蘭遮城城垣暨城內建築遺構。而一般民眾登高望遠的瞭望臺，多被以為是安平古堡，但事實上是建於日治時期，不屬於古蹟。

古堡建築屋舍純用紅色磚瓦，黃昏時與日落相煇映，景色優美，「安平夕照」1953年獲臺灣省

政府選為臺灣八景之一

月世界

月世界位於台南左鎮鄉與高雄的交界處。在開往高雄的高速公路旁，有時候也會看到這種奇特景觀。因土壤成分與一般土地不同，在加上雨水的侵蝕，使得山岩呈現崎嶇不平的景色，有如月球表面般，因此取名為月世界。

台南縣曾文溪口北岸黑面琵鷺動物保護區(Tainan County Zengwun Estuary North Bank Black-faced Spoonbill Refuge) 

生態上為河口沼澤溼地環境，大致可分成沙洲、泥質灘地、水域與周ˋ糟的魚塭、養殖地等棲地類型。出現之脊椎動物至少有83種，其中鳥類46種、魚類28種、哺乳類5種、爬蟲類及兩棲類各2種。另有無脊椎動物56種，其中甲殼類22種、貝類10種、陸域無脊椎動物24種。

黑面琵鷺為本區特別珍貴之稀有鳥種，日治時期於安平附近即有此種鳥類出現的紀錄。近幾年調查顯示，全世界黑面琵鷺約達2000餘隻，其中約有70%於每年9月至隔年4月出現於本區和鄰近地區，主要停棲在七股海堤內之浮腹地內。穩定的棲息地、充足的食物來源、鄰近的地景配置是黑面琵鷺聚集於此的主因。

度小月擔仔麵

台南度小月擔仔麵的創始人洪氏芋頭公因為要繼承家業,每天都要出海捕魚,但因為有時候風浪太大沒辦法出海,為了維持家計,研發出美味可口的麵。

為何要叫擔仔麵呢??

因為賣麵時是挑著扁擔出去的,所以叫擔仔麵。聽說那裝肉燥的鍋子從以前到現在都沒有洗過呢!! 

Du Hsiao Yueh Dan-tsu Noodles’ creator Mr. Hong had to go fishing every day to make money, but when waves were too big for him to go fishing, he sold his delicious noodles to support his family .

The name Dan-tsu Noodles got its name from the carrying poles (bian-dan) he used to carry his noodles to the streets.  It is said that the cooker which carried meat scraps has never been washed since then!

愛丁堡城堡

  

  愛丁堡城堡是愛丁堡和蘇格蘭的精神象徵，聳立在死火山岩頂上居高俯視愛丁堡市區，每年八月在此舉辦的軍樂隊分列式(Military Tattoo)，更將愛丁堡城堡莊嚴雄偉的氣氛表露無遺。

         愛丁堡城堡沿坡旋繞而上分為Lower Ward、Middle Ward、Upper Ward等區域，共有數十個參觀點，較重要的包括聖瑪格麗特禮拜堂(St. Margaret's Chapel)，是愛丁堡現存最古老的建築，而城堡內的軍事監獄，曾囚禁拿破崙的軍隊，牆上仍留存著法國軍隊在牆上抓刻的指痕。

城堡內著名的Mons Meg砲於1449年時在比利時建造，經過200多年多次戰役後，於1829年重回愛丁堡，現在安置在城堡地窖(Castle Vaults)中，城堡內宮殿(Palace)有不少蘇格蘭寶物，如1540年設計的蘇格蘭王冠，與其他的皇杖、劍等文物置於皇冠室中。

愛丁堡城堡同時也是蘇格蘭國家戰爭博物館、蘇格蘭聯合軍隊博物館之所在地。

愛丁堡國際藝術節

愛丁堡國際藝術節（英語：The Edinburgh International Festival ）創辦於西元1947年，為世界歷史最悠久、規模最大的國際藝術節之一。內容包括了歌劇.音樂.戲劇.舞蹈表演等各種藝術形式。

愛丁堡音樂節(Edinburgh Festival)

愛丁堡音樂節(Edinburgh Festival)的正式名稱為“國際音樂與戲劇節(International Festival of Music and Drama)”，分音樂與非音樂兩大部分。該音樂節於1947年由美國歌劇團魯道夫·賓協助愛丁堡節日協會創立,由市長擔任主席。

愛丁堡軍樂節將會在著名的愛丁堡城堡慶祝其光輝的音樂歷程。50多年來，已經有超過30多個國家和地區的軍樂團體在愛丁堡獻藝。每年慕名而來的觀眾超過2萬人，其中35%來自英國以外。而30多個國家的上億觀眾則有機會通過電視欣賞這一獨具特色的表演。

市區-王子街公園

愛丁堡的市區被“王子街公園”綠地分隔為兩部分，南部是老城，建於1329年，城堡山上的愛丁堡城堡最早建於6世紀，但目前存在的最早建築是城堡內11世紀建造的小教堂；北部是1767年市議會批准開始建造的新城。王子街公園是1816年由沼澤地改造的，此地最早原是一個湖—“北湖”（Nor'Loch）。前寒武紀時，火山噴發，造成玄武岩地殼，第四紀時的冰川將表面沉積層掃蕩一空，裸露出堅硬的玄武岩石，城堡山因此成為一個天然的屏障，從古以來，這裡就是要塞，公元6世紀時曾有一首古詩描述勇士們在“愛丁的大廳”中歡宴的情景。據說“亞瑟王”傳說的作者可能採納了這首古詩描述的情景來描述亞瑟王及其圓桌騎士團的宴會。
