A Beach at Sunset

A Beach at Sunset

A beach at sunset is a perfect dating spot for couples, and also could be a nice place to visit alone. If you come to a beach at sunset with your partner, it is certain you can get closer to her/him for two reasons. First: the scenery is beautiful; the sky, sea and everything else turns red and beautiful by the evening sun. Twenty minutes around sunset is called “magic hour” because at that time we can see the world most beautifully in a day. Second: the mood is good; you can hear the sound that the surfs make in a pleasant twilight silence, and hear the din and bustle of the city so far away. Besides, the scent from the sea sets the mood even more romantic, and a bit cold sea breeze of evening gets two hands closer. For these reasons, a beach at sunset is one of the most favorite places for couples. Next, I’d like to tell you what good will it be to visit a beach at sunset alone. Beaches let you spend time in the good solitude for also two reasons. First: the silence; there is no irritating noise at a beach and they are so far away. Therefore, you can think, read, and even meditate in a pleasant silence. Second: there are a lot of diversions at a beach; ripples come and go, a ship is running on the sea, and a hermit crab is running on sand. When you are in hurt or want to escape from thinking anything, these will help you relax and refresh. As showed above, a beach at sunset can give you great pleasure whether you are with someone else or not. When you have trouble deciding on the next dating spot, or have something on your mind, just drive to a beach. Please try to remember to bring your jacket or a blanket with you.

The Pet I Want

The pet I want

If I could have a pet, I want a Doberman pinscher because it is I think the most useful, most beautiful and wisest dog in all kind of dogs. First, the Doberman is well-known for its capability: it’s working as a watchdog, a police dog, army dog, a hunting dog, and a narcotic-finding dog all over the world. In fact, the Doberman is a breed which is selective bred to take over many of the excellent qualities of its parents.
Of course, a lot of training will be needed, I’d like have a capable Doberman which follows my command skillfully. Second, I like the figure of Doberman: the shiny black and brown hair, muscular body in shape, long, slender legs, and the face which looks very smart. I also like its ears that stand straight to the sky (but actually this shape of ear is created by cutting down its ears in its childhood). All of these characteristics give us the impression of strength, sharpness and dignity. I think the Doberman has the most beautiful body in all quadruped.
Finally, the Doberman is in fact a very much gentle, calm kind of dog despite the fearful image we have. Since they work for police and army, (or even robber,) only fierce side are emphasized by TV and cinema screen, the Doberman is mis-impressed as very brutal, savage, and dangerous, but the truth is very calm, gentle, loyal, and lovable. When I have a Doberman puppy, I’d like to train it to be a suave, tender house dog. I can’t have it right now, but I will get it someday.

What's a Goya?

What’s a Goya?

The goya is a cucurbitaceous vegetable (actually, however, fruit) with deep-green color, 20-30cm long, 5-6cm in diameter, and a lot of lumps and bumps. Because of the grotesque appearance, people who see it for the first time do not believe that it is food. And in accordance with its outward, the taste is very much bitter, which causes it to be known as a bitter melon. You may not want to eat such a hundred-harm-and-no-good plant, but the goya has astonishingly plenty of nutrition within which blows all the disadvantages away. It contains abundant vitamin C, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, vitamins B1, B2 and B3, fiber and many other nutrients. So, why don’t you have a try to goya champuru? It will be not only unexpectedly delicious, but makes you very healthy.
