Arrive at Oslo, Norway

(It is my first blog. I would like to try to write in English to improve my writing skill. Therefore, if you have hard time understanding what I want to say. Do not worry about that. I think it is my fault. Also, please kindly give me some advises about my writing)

Getting Away from Taiwan
On August 7th (Saturday) evening, I took China Airline (I know it is creepy) to Hong Kong. In fact, no sooner did I overhear the song “向前走” by 林強 than I realize that I am going to leave my home for almost one year. It will be a lie if I said that I just don’t worry about it thoroughly. Actually, when I was ready to pass the Customs of airport, I saw my parents waiting behind. I can’t help but burst out weeping. I just screwed up my courage and turn around to wave to my parents quickly since I know I probably can’t take my step if I stay longer. The waving figures of them will be remembered forever. It is the first time that I leave them for a long period.

Tiring Voyage
I had to transfer twice. One is in Hong Kong and the other is in London Heathrow. If you have taken the British Airway, you will miss the meal served by China Airline (still creepy I know). I had to pinch my nose to swallow them. The scene in Hong Kong Airport was very familiar since I’ve been there when I am still at senior high. There was free Wi-Fi zone for tourists and I just used my laptop to kill some time. The journey to London last about 12 hours and then I arrived London. I’ve dreamed to work in London some day but it is obvious that the air condition is terrible in London. The Heathrow airport is very huge and brand-new, but it is not possible for me to shop there. The price is totally different from Hong Kong.


Oslo
Looking down from airplane, I saw that the city is surrounded by numerous coniferous trees. That scene could only be imagined from my high school Geology textbook. The weather is cold and humid. I was regretful for wearing only T-shirt and shorts. However, I have to say that this country is astonishingly beautiful. All you can see is all green. The temperature is average 15 centigrade degree in summer, very comfortable compared to that of Taiwan. The floor board of the airport is made by wood. The atmosphere is really relaxing (so as their efficiency). Alright! It is my home for the next one year.
