Hello~ My name is Amber.
Nice to meet everyone in this class.
I was born in Taichung, Taiwan, and lived in Taipei before I came to Seattle.
I speak Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, Hakka, and English.
My family members are my mother, two younger brothers, and my two doggy daughters, Yuki and Ann Jiang. Both of them were named from Japanese Language and both are female. The type of Yuki is Maltese, her color is white like snow, and "yuki" is the word of "snow" in Japanese. Ann Jiang's type is Poodle, her color is brown like amber. Japanese usually use Jiang after given name as nickname to call their young kids, that's the reason why I named her Ann Jiang. Attached photo shows the last day Yuki and Ann Jiang accompanied me at Taiwan airport before I left for Seattle. I miss them very.
I have been in Seattle for three months. This is my second quarter here, and it's also my last quarter in Seattle. After completing ESL program, I will come back my hometown Taiwan. I am going to be a product marketing or project manager in the computer company.
My favorite hobbies are hiking, reading, watching movie, and traveling.
In Taiwan, we have Top100 mountains over three thousand meters, I've hiked over twenty mountains.
I also like reading fictions, and it's more interesting to learn English.
I like all kinds of movies, especially movies from different countries. Movie is the easy way to know the real life of the country, and we can experience the deeper and truly emotions via movies.
I've traveled Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Germany, France, Netherland, Vancouver, LA, and New York.
Seattle is one of my most favorite cities for many reasons. First of all, although Seattle is famous for its rain, I still enjoy the lovely sunshine after cloudy or rainy day. Frankly, the rain in Seattle is much smaller than Taiwan's. I usually don't use umbrella except for heavy rain. Then, I also like the friendly people in Seattle, beautiful parks, numerous museums, and clean sidewalks for rambling in this city. I hope you also enjoy in this wonderful city, Seattle.
Wish you all the best during summer time!!

Hello Amber - Such a lovely name! Anyway, welcome to the class! Wow, it's sad that this is your last quarter here. I see you chose the rainy background. :) I am guessing that is because of the Seattle Rain. Maybe your hometown doesn't have rain like this!?! Your dogs are absolutely too cute! I am sure it will be great to see them again. Hiking! That's great! I love to do that; only I am not so dedicated as you are. Sounds inspiring though. Your work also sounds interesting. I agree with you about movies and understanding more about the culture. Although I think American movies tend to be a bit limited in reality. What is your alltime favorite movie? I hope you are having a great 4th of July weekend. Gail

My alltime favorite movies are Pretty Woman(1990) and The Shawshank Redemption(1994). I've watched them over ten times on TV channel, I never feel bored. I think both of them were listed on America Top100 Classic Movies.
