I love Hangzhou!!

I really got sick of hearing people saying Hangzhou is the best city when I was at home.But now I got home sick after two months in Ho Chi Minh City!

I miss the beautiful west lake,the food,the tea mountains people hang out during the weekends,even though I hardly went out when I was in Hangzhou,I even miss the KTVs which I used to hate! Everything about Hangzhou seems so lovely right now. I can't wait to go home and show the most beautiful city to my students.

I got some videos and love stories online to show them,one of the stories is called 梁山伯和祝英台，this is like the Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet; The other one is the White Snake lady,I'm going to do a reading project on this story with one of my classes. Both of the stories are quite popular in Vietnam.

I have four classes,three of them have a lot more girls than boys,they were fascinated by the stories and scenery;on the other hand,I have one class has 10 boys and 2 girls,they thought it was boring.It's interesting to see the fact,which made me wonder the different strategies or resources I might need to use for differentiation,I will discuss about that later.

Anyway, it felt really good that I could share something real important to me with my students,I asked them to collect videos,photos,songs,stories about Ho chi Minh or Vietnam during the autumn break,so I can share their love with them as well.I would like to know about this city and country more,it's an important chapter in my life too.

I'm really happy with my life now,I start to appreciate where I come from,I start to appreciate a lot more things than I ever did in my life! I feel alive and full of energy!







This is a popular show played on West lake every evening,I went to watch it before I left Hangzhou,it was absolutely stunning,the whole stage was built under the water surface,west lake is the natural perfect back ground,someone said it's the story about the white snake lady,someone said it's 梁山伯和祝英台，does it matter?

Below is the translation of the song I found online:

The rain is still falling, filling a lake of mist
Broken bridge, silken umbrella, from black to white,I miss you
Who's on the boat? Writing my past?
A pen of promises, a paper filled with separation.
Rain ~~~ standing by the lake
Rain ~~~ gazing at the northern bank
The rain is still falling, filling a lake of mist
Broken bridge, silken umbrella,from black to white,I miss you
Who's on the boat? Writing my past?
A pen of butterflies, a paper filled with separation.

My farewell, never ending
Upon the West Lake, again and again
White wings, flying over the years
A long sigh, from Heaven to Earth
The rain is still falling, drenching a thousand years
The lake water linked to Heaven, from Black to White our meeting
Who's on the boat? Writing my past?
Let's talk about human，then talk about the country.
