Visiting Federal Reserve Bank 7/23

Picture with Jeff

This is my second week in Houston. This Saturday, we went to Mr. Coburn’s swimming pool party. We had lots of fun there. Mr and Mrs Coburn are very nice and their children as well. I talked with Mr. Coburn’s son, Jeff. We do have the same interests in education. I loved to talk to him and I shared my teaching experiences with him. I was very happy at Mr. Coburn’s party and I was looking forward to visiting their house once again.

Today is the beginning of the new lesson, America Economics and Trade. This is the new challenge for me. I have never learned America Economics before, so it could be difficult to learn it. I am still learning and I also learn in happiness. As for professor Balderas, he is a professional and interesting doctor. He taught us lots of useful knowledge and I learned a lot. I really appreciate.

After the lesson, we visited Federal Reserve Bank. We met lots of important officers there. I saw many elegant buildings. We also had lesson there. I learned a lot from the lectures. Today, we talked about Euro-Zone, Greece crisis, and the economics relationship between America and Europe. Also those are not my specialty, but I ‘d love to learn it. 

The First Class of America History 7/18

Yesterday, I went to City Hall, Toyota Center, and lots of different places. In City Hall, I saw lots of important persons, such as Mayor, and the officers in Visitor Bureau. We discuss lots of things, such as America economy, and America tourism. Finished discussing, we went to visit each floors in City Hall. I saw many important places. The most importantly, I got a certificate which can be used on applying my graduate school. I am very happy glad that I can have this chance to participate this program and have this opportunity to visit many officers and places. We also went to the public museum.

In public museum, I appreciated so many arts in it. The designing of this museum is very different form Taiwan's. It doesn't like a museum. I was so surprised what I saw. When you walked into this museum first time, you might think this is a palace. This is the real America style building. That is really impressive. After that, we went to Toyota Center. This is my first time seeing the real basketball court.

Today is my first class, America History in UST. Actually, I do not understand about the America History. So at the beginning, I cannot figure out whole the history and whole things. I tried to  do more note-taking so that I can realize the class easily. I also love the professor Lisa. She is really energetic, talkative, and smart doctor. She taught us lots of useful knowledge. During the class, Dr. Lisa tried to teach us as much as possible. I am so happy to learn lots of things from her.
