國際部港泰國際教育旅行(B組):第十一天


當能莎朵水上市場


 


9B Andy YenAndrew ChenKelly HsuSandy ChuangDami HuangStella Han

今日,是我們在泰國的最後一天。但我認為卻是最有趣的一天。首先我們去了水上市場。泰國的水上市場起源於一百多年前,由泰皇四世下令建造,連接了Mekong河和Tacheen河。在水上市場中可以買到許多各式各樣的物品,最有趣的部分是可以和商家殺價。結束玩水上市場的行程後,我們便向火山蝦餐廳及巧可力村前進。他們的特色餐點是火燒蝦子。如下圖,用火烤蝦火花在像火山的容器中爆發,令人瞠目結舌十分有趣。
 
 
 
 
午後,我們繼續坐車,經過兩個小時的車程我們抵達巧克力村。它是一間餐廳,附近有很多美麗的風景和歐式風格的房子,配合泰國晴朗的好天氣藍天白雲十分美麗,吸引同學們在這裡拍照留念。接著,經過兩個小時漫長的車程,我們到了全亞州最大的購物商場—Mega Bangna。這個商場只有兩層樓,但是面積十分廣大,還有著曼谷唯一的宜家傢俱。裡面有許多知名品牌,我們在裡面停留兩小時購物。學校也發給我們兩百元餐卷,讓我們在裡面吃飯。我們這組找到了一間餐廳叫The Pizza Company,價格不貴東西很精緻很好吃。我們最推薦的是他的奶油義大利麵,奶油很濃郁但又不會膩,份量也剛剛好,建議大家有機會來泰國可以來品嘗。這是我們第十一天的行程,這次的國際教育旅行即將話下完美的句點。從一趟旅程中,我們不僅吃喝玩樂,還收獲許多擴大了自己的視野,更讓我們發現了泰國的美麗與熱情。


 


Today is the last day of us in Thailand, but also the best day. First we went to the Floating Market of Menan. It originated a hundred years ago, King Rama IV ordered the construction of this great establishment. It connected the Mekong River and the Tacheen River. On the floating market, we can get a large variety of products and souvenirs. The best thing about this market is that you are able to persuade the shop keepers to lower the price of their good by a lot. After the journey at the floating market, we headed to the Chocolate Ville and a restaurant with their famous roasted fresh shrimp.





The shrimp dish is placed in a covered container, the waiter fired the container and the shrimp start to roast on the platter. After lunch, we went to the chocolate ville on a long, two-hour ride. The chocolate ville is a famous tourist spot in Thailand, it's is mainly a restaurant but also has many great photo taking spots. The buildings are beautifully built. During night time, we went to the biggest shopping mall in Asia. All of us enjoyed and do our last shopping in Thailand. Everyone got a coupon which cost 200 dollars for dinner. We chose an awesome dinner called "The Pizza Company". The dinner served the best pasta ever! We strongly recommend others to try if they come to Thailand. Throughout our twelve-day grad trip, we made lots of beautiful memories, besides having fun, we learned a lot about Thailand's culture :)

國際部港泰國際教育旅行(B組):第十天


大城古蹟與湄南河一日遊

Today, we woke up very early for a trip on the river. We waited for the boat for a long time and the weather was very hot. Everyone was very sweaty. Finally, the boat arrived and we went aboard. There were three floors and there were many dining tables. The inside of the boat was much better than the outside.The view was great and we saw many traditional houses on the shore. There were even fish in the river. I thought that people should protect the Earth more because i can still see many trash in the river. Rivers should be protected, and the fish should have a clean home. I experienced the life of Thailand. At about 10:30, we ate our lunch. The food was very special. There were fried rice,curry, chicken leg, desert, and salad. It was a luxurious meal and I hope to have it again. At last, I need to say that Thailand was a very different country compared to Taiwan. People live beside the river and they also live in a high temperature which made me very surprise. I will miss the boat a lot!


 

In the afternoon, we visited the king’s palace. It was boiling hot in the mid afternoon, but we had lots of fun and saw many beautiful European style buildings and furniture. At one point, all the girls had to rent salons because girls wearing pants aren't permitted to enter some parts of the palace. Lastly, we visited some ancient ruins. The most jawdropping moment was the Buddha shrine that was almost covered completely in tree roots. The only thing sticking out was its head. Overall we had an magnificent day in Thailand.



 

今日,我們在一個明亮的早晨中起床,之後前往美麗的湄南河等著坐上高級的遊艇。天氣相當炎熱,大家都流了不少的汗。終於,在苦等了許久後船來了。登船後我們到處探索,發現船有三層。第一二層為坐艙,第三層為甲板。我們覺得內艙相當豪華而外面的風景也令人迷戀多時。河邊多是泰國傳統建築。但在望著河面一段時間後我感覺到人們必須保護河川,河裡仍有許多垃圾。在約1030分時我們享用午餐,午餐相當美味,有炒飯、咖哩、炸雞、沙拉、甜點等。最後,我們發現泰國跟台灣真的很不同,我們也很佩服泰國人可以住在這樣的高溫下呢!天啊,我們真的無法忘記這次完美的旅程。
 




下午,我們參觀了國王的宮殿。這是一個炎熱的午後,但我們有很多的樂趣,看到許多美麗的歐洲風格的建築和家具。因為有規定,女生穿褲子是不被允許進入宮殿的。最後,我們參觀了一些古蹟,他們是珍貴的世界文化遺產,還有一尊佛像的頭被卡在樹裡,樹根幾乎覆蓋在佛像上面,只有頭部露出來,這就是有名的樹中佛。還有些石像的部位被之前的緬甸人砍掉了,景象非常壯觀。總而言之,我們在曼谷有一個奇幻的一天。

大城古蹟與湄南河一日遊





9E Alex LoTimBenjaminStevePerryYuanVincent

 自從來到曼谷後我們的每一天行程都非常緊湊,但我們每一天都過得非常充實。不論是泰國中華國際學校的參訪、古蹟巡遊、還是湄南河的與大城府古都一日遊都非常的有趣、新奇以及富有教育意義。今天一大早準備去搭乘渡輪時天氣非常的炎熱大家都汗流浹背,大家都以為應該是搭乘一般的渡輪而已,但來的卻是一艘非常光鮮亮麗的遊艇而且還配備冷氣,大家都看得目瞪口呆,相信很多人包括我自己在內都是第一次搭乘這麼高級的遊艇。




在趟旅行對大家來說有太多的第一次發生了,不論是第一次來泰國、第一次騎乘大象、第一次出國這麼多天或是第一次與同學出遊等等,都是非常美好的經驗以及回憶。在參訪大城府卻克里王朝五世王的夏宮時,我們非常驚訝,皇宮的建築風格、擺飾或是器物都是走中國風。經過導遊講解後我們才知原來所有從中國進口,原來中華文化在東南亞的影響居然這麼深遠。




在大城府古都巡遊時最令人驚奇的是樹中佛,據說這尊佛像顆好後放在菩提樹下經過風化及緬甸王朝的摧殘以及祝融後只剩下頭部,隨者菩提樹的增長佛像的頭就陷在樹幹中了,更巧的是當年釋迦牟尼佛也就是在菩提樹下修行得道的。參觀古蹟時有許多告示牌,包括在與樹面佛拍照時需蹲下以示尊重,可見泰國人對古蹟以及其國人信仰宗教的尊重,這點是非常值得我們學習的。

 


Today, we got up at six o'clock and headed to the pier at meknam river to get to the ancient city of Ayuttaya. This city was the proud of the Ayuttaya empire and also the pride of siam. When we are on the boat, the scene changed from skyscrapers into small and short houses which are the houses of traditional siamnese people. Sailing quietly across the river, we were all dumbstruck by the beautiful scenery and imagined about the ancient people who traveled and traded on this historical river.





Later on, we arrived at the summer palace of king Rama the fifth, most of the architecture are combined by two different cultures, England Barack technique and the imperial Chinese architect, every piece of wood are made in china and sent to Thailand for finishing. Looking at these architectures, we feel respectful to king Rama the fifth. If it wasn't his contributions to the diplomacy of Thailand. Thailand couldn' t have been so industrialized and modernized. Later on, we visited the tower that contained the ”Sarira”, or the Buddhist relic.





Although the temperature was very high outside,  looking at the magnificent tower sparkling under the sunshine, we all felt in awe. Next, we went on seeing the buddah in the tree. This special scene is due to the strength of the roots. Like Angkor Wat in Cambodia. On seeing this scene, we thought about the history of the past . Last, we visited the ruins of the Ayuttaya empire. We saw the ancient empire of the most powerful kingdom in the indo china peninsula. At night, we went to the highest tower of Bangkok to have dinner, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and interesting musicians singing and playing the guitar. We finished our last day of our trip in this happy ending.

新加坡環球影城大探索

 


902  陳頡周伯麟陳柏佑張宇宣林毓軒黃珮綸

新加坡的環球影城位於外島聖淘沙。環球影城於2008419日開工,2011528日開慕,是世界的第二座環球影城。環球影城全年都開幕,從不休假,總共有20項遊樂設施且7種主題,其中包括: 荷里活、紐約、科幻城市、古埃及、失落的世界、遙遠王國、馬達加斯加。

首先是好萊塢主題區,好來屋主題區以20世紀70年代的好萊塢為主題,並設有好萊塢大道、棕櫚樹和著名的好萊塢星光大道 當中也包括了許多商店,銷售了許多好萊塢電影的商品。

再來是紐約主題區,他以後現代的紐約市為主題,設有紐約市的人行道以及許多的特色景觀。 該地區設有霓虹燈,而兩旁的街道充滿大城市的特色,有些地方為好萊塢電影的電影場景。

科幻城市主題區以許多先進的科學設備以及機器做為場景布置,造就出整個主題區有著未來的氣氛,雖然雲霄飛車關閉是相當可惜的事情,但是也還是能夠讓人體會到先進科技是相當的酷炫

古埃及主題區中有許多埃及石像作為佈置,也可以看見工作人員裝扮成埃及風格在外行走。當中最刺激的部分就是木乃伊的反撲,冒險當中可己看到許多木乃伊突然跳起來,還可以感受到火焰逼近自己,並且在黑暗體驗俯衝的樂趣,是相當值得排隊的。

侏儸紀公園是以恐龍為主的主題公園,說到侏儸紀就是以恐龍為霸權的時代。裡面的遊樂設施在牆壁上都貼有海報,讓人在排隊時可以學習一些關於恐龍的故事。裡面的裝飾把真正的侏羅紀公園模仿得維妙維肖,是讓我最佩服的地方。

遠得要命王國是電影史瑞克的經典場景之一,這個場景在這個環球影城完美呈現了。雖然規模沒這麼大,不過城堡完成度很高。裡面還有一個劇場,內容是在第一集後所發生的小故事。這劇場有個重點,就是這個劇場是互動式的一個劇場,根據劇情的不同,椅子會移動,不然就是有水會噴到你臉上。這個劇場是我十分推薦的一個地方,不過缺點是劇情有點短。

在馬達加斯加,雖然遊樂設施不是那麼的有趣但是我們卻還是看到了許多熟悉的電影場景,讓我們回味了許多的回憶。

這次的環球影城之旅雖然是在全世界最小的園區,但是我們卻玩得很開心,因為也體驗到多不同的遊樂設施。在炎熱的太陽底下,我們玩樂的興致依然高昂。每個遊樂設施都讓我們玩得相當盡興,雖然有些不是那麼的有趣,但只要和朋友們一同玩樂,再怎麼樣也值得。這次的新馬之旅也因此下了完美的句點。




Universal Studios of Singapore was located in Sentosa. The construction of the Universal Studios started on April 19th, 2008, and it officially operated on May 28th, 2011 and was the second Universal Studios in the world. Universal Studios operates all year around and never  recess during any official holidays. It has installed a total of 20 different kinds of amusing facilities and seven different movie or city themes, which includes Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi Cities, Ancient Egyptian civilization, The Lost World, Far-Far-away Kingdom, and Madagascar.

First of all, we would introduce the theme of Hollywood; the time was set in 1970s, with the Hollywood Boulevard, Palm Trees, and the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Among there were many shops and stores, selling different souvenirs from Hollywood’s movies.

Next, there was the New York City. When we walked in the theme area, the sidewalks of New York and many other distinguish features jumped to us. The special part of this area was that they installed neon lights, and the streets were filled with characteristics of metropolis, and part of them was from the Hollywood produced scenes.

The Sci-Fi City area was decorated with several advanced scientific equipment and machines. This created an atmosphere of future. Unfortunately, the rollercoaster shut down today, but it still let us experience the advanced technology.

The Ancient Egypt Civilization was decorated with different stone statues of Egypt. There were also staffs wearing Egyptian-Style customs. The most exciting facility in this theme park was the Counterattack of the Mummies. In the expedition, several mummies would jump up suddenly, and also we could feel the flames approaching, and also dived under a dark environment.

The Jurassic Park was based on the dinosaurs that dominated during that time period. There were many posters pasted on the wall, which were about dinosaurs. The imitation made this place look like the real Jurassic Park, which I admired the most.

The Far-Far Away Kingdom was one of the classic scenes in the movie Shriek. This scene was appeared perfectly.

At Madagascar, although the rides wasn’t that fun, but we saw those scenes in the movie which led us toward our old memories

Although we visited the smallest Universal Studio in the world, we still made a lot of fun there and experienced those different kinds of facilities. Under the boiling temperature and the burning sun, we still enjoyed ourselves with happiness. Each part of the amusing park made us excited and created lots of fun. Even though some of them were not interesting, with my classmates and friends, I felt that everything was worth it.




今天一早大家在渡假村的出口處集合,等著主任宣佈生活競賽的優勝班級,雖然結果是901獲勝,但我們沒有因此沮喪,反而唱起榮譽歌,看每個人都滿臉笑容,這就是我們902最大的優點。吃完早餐後,我們便開始今日的行程,聽完導遊的叮嚀以及講解,不知不覺到了大家最期待的環球影城,我們拿了票和餐卷之後,就和同學衝了進去。首先我們在上午之前就把所有設施玩過一遍,到了中午我們吃了一頓超貴的午餐,又繼續啟程逛園區的禮品店,結果到最後集合時,我一樣東西都沒買。到了商場我逛好幾圈,終於下定決心買副手環送給最辛苦的媽媽。經過這11天的"新馬國際教育旅行",同學們享受著各種文化的洗禮,以及班級榮譽帶來的喜悅,因此又成長了。

印象最深刻的是環球影城的變形金剛,雖然不是恐怖刺激的遊戲可是那個動畫影響是我人生中唯一的體驗,也讓我了解了4D動畫的厲害,它不但超越3D還有身體接觸的感覺。這次的活動也烙印在我腦海中一輩子,希望以後還有機會與同學在到世界各處,學習各式各樣的知識。

國際部港泰國際教育旅行(B組):第九天


泰國威爾斯國際學校參訪


 



9C ShellyJanetWadeJasonEnderlaSamantha

This morning, we went to Wells International School and had class activity with them. They’re very friendly and it’s easy to fit in with them. We also realized that they can use their cellphone during school time. They used lunch tickets to purchase their lunch, which was fresh and novel to us. The teachers weren’t keeping watch on the students during recess. However, the students at Wells maintained well behavior, which is something we should learn. During PE class, we found out that the sports they play in Thailand are very different than in Taiwan. They prefer volleyball and soccer. They also like basketball like us. Moreover, the Wells teachers and students focus a lot in extracurricular activities, such as musicals, choruses, and traditional cultural performances. Music class in Wells was very exciting. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed it a lot. After we left Wells, we headed back to the hotel of a short rest. Briefly after the rest, we headed to Asiatique. It wasn’t as crowded as the night markets in Taiwan. However, they sell many exotic products, such as fried bananas, specially flavored crepe. Prices here are significantly lower than in Taiwan; beautiful dresses are even cheaper than ordinary clothes in Taiwan. Shortly after we ate dinner, we went to watch a live Thai boxing performance. The lightings and special effects were fascinating. Their moves were synchronized and nicely organized. There was action mixed with comedy, and in the final act, the bride threw a bouquet at the audience, from which applauses erupted. We would be heading home three days later. We would like to appreciate the school and the principle for the opportunity to learn about Thai culture. The nicely scheduled events were very interesting, allowing us to learn with ease. This trip has certainly been an unforgettable one.

 


今天早上,我們去WELLS國際學校跟他們一起上課,他們非常友善而且容易親近,我們同時發現他們可以在學校使用手機,他們學校午餐用餐卷來購買食物,十分有趣。下課時雖然老師不會管他們,但他們也能自律,這點非常值得學習。當我們在上體育課時發現他們的運動項目和我們很不同,他們比較重視排球和足球,但是和我們一樣,他們也喜歡打籃球,另外,他們還很重視一些多元的活動 像是歌舞劇、合唱團和民俗技藝,他們音樂課程比我們更要活潑生動。我們離開威爾斯國際學校後,先回到飯店休息之後到夜市。泰國的夜市沒有我們的那麼熱鬧,不過他們有各式各樣的賣品,譬如小吃有炸香蕉和特殊口味的可麗餅,賣品價格也沒有我們那麼貴。有些別緻的禮服甚至比普通衣服還便宜,接著我們到了泰拳LIVE的表演場地,音效和燈光讓人印象深刻,音效和動作合在一起,還有搞笑的片段。最後表演中的新娘把捧花丟給觀眾,讓全場轟動。




今天是倒數第三天,感謝學校安排這些行程讓我們深入的了解泰國的傳統,不會趕時間排的行程也都很有趣,讓我們可以沒有壓力的學習。這絕對是人生中難忘的經驗。
