(Teacher Jimmy took the picture in front of Leshan Giant Buddha)
Let’s get to know (認識) more about Teacher Jimmy’s hometown (家鄉), which is Sydney (雪梨). It is a really beautiful city and one of the great seaports (海港) of the world. Sydney has a temperate climate (氣候變化) which is similar to Taiwan’s climate. It is built around a harbor (港口). You can enjoy incredible beauty of two attractions (景點) - the Sydney Opera House (雪梨歌劇院) and Circular Quay (環形碼頭). Teacher Jimmy said that the local people in Sydney really like to listen to opera, such as“Cats”.
What’s more (而且), Sydney has a diverse ethnic population (多元種族人口). This has created a colorful lifestyle (多采多姿的生活方式). You can taste exotic food (異國料理). In fact, Asian food is really popular here, especially Thai food (泰國菜), Vietnam food (越南菜), Indian style curry (印度風味咖哩), and Chinese food (中國菜).
On the other hand (另一方面), before Teacher Jimmy came to Taiwan, he had a good time in Leshan (樂山) (China). Leshan is the historic capital of Sichuan province in China. It is famous for its 2000 of years Buddhism Culture (佛教文化). The world-famous Leshan Giant Buddha (樂山大佛) is here!
Teacher Jimmy said that in his free time he likes to go around the city and feel the beauty of the city. To him, the Chinese New Year of (新年) February 2012 was an amazing experience. He was fascinated by (被吸引) the numerous lights in the streets of Leshan. The food in Leshan is something you should try: Tianpiya (sweet skin duck甜皮鴨), Malatang (麻辣燙) cannot be more delicious.
It is pleasure to know more about him!
