Ferdowsi is best known for his literary epic Shahnameh, to which he devoted most of his life. Shahnameh was originally drafted by Ferdowsi for the Princes of Samanids, who were responsible for revival of the Persian cultural traditions after the Arab invasion.

Ferdowsi would live to see the Samanids conquered by the Ghaznavid Turks. The new ruler Mahmud of Ghaznavi would lack the same interest in Ferdowsi's work as that shown by the Samanids,resulting in him losing favor with the royal court.

Blogging is a product of modern journalism. Every blogger should be responsible for his expression of opinion. Although ethics is merely a way to promote just and responsible living, it is important that our actions are governed by good nature.

“How may I find refreshment in the rain,when I'd rather be outside doing something in the sunshine?”
If you have never taken time to notice rain, sit by a window on a rainy day and watch how the rain makes all the colors brighter. Green never looked greener than on a rainy day, and how about the glorious earth? Yes, there is beauty everywhere if only we take the time to look. Watch what happens when raindrops hit the trees. The leaves seem to dance, and the trees come alive with animation. Watchi

I don't know, why is it so fast? I don't know why should I be in this May. And I don't know why should this sad May in my life?

I had told this so many times that I am weak and lame. Even I can't erase my tears anymore. I'm too lame to save my heart to be so rigid

Day 3 : Go to Amsterdam

My cousin prepared our breakfast with salad that included some olives, cheese and mango sauce. It's quite different style from ours and seems I was a cow eating grass, but it's very tasty and healthy.

Strawberries and tomatoes were also prepared.

The other one is baked croissant with cheese and ham.

It was also the day of Queen's Day helded in Holland, particulary

in Amsterdam. People would wear clothing, crown, neckerchief or any kind of things with orange color to celebrat

DAY 2 : Tulip's field

Instead of going to Keukenhof, we went to tulip's field, where is one of fields provides flowers to Keukenhof and no any tickets needed. You can rent a bike or take a walk leisurely to enojy these stunning scenery.  Have you noticed that they are greeting us with their beautiful smile?

These houses are located along the road where we went to see tulips.

Each house looks like the house built in fairy tale.

Hope you all have enjoyed them.

Skype is simply amazing. It's an excellent alternative to costly international calls through mobile and land line excluding urgent situations.

I learned that EC members use Skype to converse with one another. It's an innovative way not only to practice their English in conversation but also a way to make friends. I wrote a blog about how I utilize Skype.

A friend of mine sent me this morning a link, hope she can stay with us as soon as she can. She knows how I wonder the sky, the nature, the winds,..., and my curiosity.

Since I am learning the English language (1986) my world has expanded.  Recently I started an adventure voyage into the “TERRA INCOGNITA“. Let’s see if there are others in this cyber portal who are also on a similar voyage.

Day 1 : Fly to Holland

It was the plane we took from Taipei.

We had three meals in total.  If you feel hungry, you would probably think they are delicious. But.. when you ate three meals continuously at the same day then... you would know what I want to say.

Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand

We were here to transfer to Holland. The airport is clean, bright and full of Thailand style. It is said to be the biggest airport in Aisa. 

The screen was showing us where we were at the time.

This is my first time to go Europe from April 28 to May 11 this year. Everything in Europe is completely new, fresh and interesting for me. That's why I couldn't control myself taking about more than two thousand photos. At the same time, it was also a good chance for me to practice English. From the next blog, I will try to keep posting some of photos to share with you. 

The trip included three countries- Holland, Germany and Czech Republic. Before arriving in our destination, we had to fly for

In the morning, I stepped out into the garden. My little girl followed me. She picked a flower petal of bitter melon and set up her hair. She asked me: Mommy, What‘s smell of flowers’ s bitter melon? I kissed up her hair and breathed a deep breath. I smelled the bitter taste of a drug and sweet taste of cake. My little girl shouted: Yeah! I smelled it, it was like a smell of a cake.

I caressed her hair and smiled.

Was life a combination of sweetness and bitterness?...
