We were drinking, dancing and talking. My friend seemed very happy, but I thought it was very boring. I just drank alone. But I saw a girl who wore the green sweater and had brown hair. She smiled and talked to her friend. She looked very beautiful and very nice. Suddenly, she looked at me and smiled at me. I was so exciting and I guessed that maybe I had a chance with her. Immediately, I said hello and talked to her. Incredibly, I fell in love with your mother when I first met her. I will never forget her smile. Her first impression was very nice. So I spent 4 years to win your mother's heart.

At that time, I was a shy girl . At the party, my head was always down eating from my plate. I was not paying attention to anyone. Suddenly, a boy came to me. He had long legs and his pants ware ironed . His pants had good lines and was neat. He slowly walked and came towards to me. At this time, I looked up and saw this boy very politely smiling, and he asked me, ‘’What do you want to eat? I can help you get some food.’’ He was very friendly and such a gentleman. He was different from other boys. My first impression of my husband was that he had long legs and his pants were ironed and neat.

I was only about 4 years old.
Miss Lin had bright eyes, shoulder-length hair, wore a beautiful dress and high heeled shoes. She always had a smile on her face. She sang like an angle and played the piano very well. At that time, in my young mind, I imagined "Maybe she is a princess."
Of course not, she was not a princess. In fact, she was a piano teacher.
However, at that time, she was not teaching me because I was too young.
Miss Lin was my sister's piano teacher. In my sister's piano class, I always envied to see my sister sitting in front of the piano and playing the piano. I sat in front of the table playing the puzzle and reading the books.
After few months, I began to learn the piano with Miss Lin.]]> 2018-01-07 19:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/219183886 First impression of my boyfriend https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/219218086 I met my boyfriend online two years ago. We chatted online about a week. We had lots of things in common. We had same family values and personality. Then we decided to meet at a bar on Saturday in Pasadana. When I walked into the bar, he had already waited for me. He gave me a hug and said hello to me. He had a good smile 😊 and a very modest manner. He pulled the chair for me and bought me my favorite drink 🍹. I couldn’t speak English fluently in that time. He was a patient and gentle person. It was really nice to talking with him. He introduced himself , his family and his company to me. I was interesting to know him more . We hit it off on our first date.

She is my middle school classmate. At the same time, she is my neighbor too. I was really attracted to her from the beginning because she is the best student in my class. At the beginning, i took the initiative to chat with her, but she just gave a sample answer and then continued on reading her book. I thought, "Maybe,she don’t like to be a friend with me." After school, I heard someone calling my name, when I was on the way home. I saw her and talk with her. After that, i found i had many common interests with her. We became the closest friend since then. https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/219225285 Lynette]]> 2018-01-08 04:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/219225285 First impression of a good friend. tiffanyzhang333 https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/219227785 I met her through another friend of mine. She stood out to me as very tall and elegant. From her outfit I could tell that she cares a lot about her fashion. We chatted and I found out that she worked as a housing agent. She kept getting calls and I immediately thought that she was very hard working and seemed like someone who knew a lot about the world. She often smiled and was great at keeping the conversation going. I realized that by keeping a conversation with her, I learned a lot. We had a lot in common and it felt like an easygoing time. I started to enjoy talking to her and kept in mind that we would definitely chat and keep in touch more. At the end of the day, I just remembered her good sense of style and how busy she was.

I had lived in my uncle's house for one year. Due to the long distance to go to school, I had to find a dormitory to live near the school and also enjoy the college life. Several days later, I found an apartment which was just in front of my school. What an amazing thing that I could sleep late to go to school. So I tried to ask someone who lived in the apartment and I knocked the door. There came a big guy with a beard who smiled at me. At that moment, I thought that I met an evil-doer, and I felt a little scared. He asked me what I wanted and how he can help me. I told him what I needed. It was so surprising that he was my classmate but I had no idea about him. We laughed and joked with each other. We introduced ourselves and discussed the funny things happened to the other classmates and teachers . We also knew that we came from the same hometown. This is a miraculous encounter and then we became best friends until now. Although we are in different places now, we still take care and encourage each other.

That day, I arrived late because the inefficient public transportation. I sat in the last row, when the teacher (my husband) saw that I just arrived he asked nicely about me... I felt like I met him before, long time ago. I felt that I had a lot of empathy and trust with him. I thought he was very nice, smart and interesting person. ]]> 2018-01-08 07:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/219239050 My first impression about my uncle https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/219246720 I haven't met my uncle until I came to the United States in 2015. So I was happy when I met him. At first, I really liked him, because he looked like my grandfather who very love me. He was slim, but he was strong and fast. He had warm eyes. He was also hilarious. I was excited and asked him a lot of questions. Then, he said, "You look like my daughter". "You are my father also". Finally, I had another father in the U.S. that was him. I was glad to see him, and that was a good memory of me.

At that time, I was in the kindergarten and she was studying in first grade. I just moved to a new community with my family. One day, my mom took me home from the kindergarten. I saw a girl played in the garden. And she saw me too. She ran towards me and asked me could you play with me ? She was very nice-looking. It’s my first time that I have met her. She has a pair of big shining eyes and long black hair. I asked my mom and played with her. She is such a gregarious and outgoing girl. We always have a great time. We have become best friend as time goes by.

I meet many people everyday,but I can't remember them. I also have a little face blindness. One day, an old couple came in with an unhappy expression.The old lady wore a strong makeup and a purple lip makeup who looked like the stepmother of the Snow White. Their facial expression made me a little scare. I really didn't want to serve them such as my workmate, but my work is a server. I walked to them and gave them the menu with a smile. When they were eating I noticed that they only had one drink on the table. Then, I brought a cup of warm water to them. The old man suddenly smiled and talked with me like a genial grandpa. After that, the old couple had a happy expression on their face. When them finished their dinner and left, the old lady came to me with a smile and said "good-bye, Houie ."
I want to express that first impression is important but sometimes it isn't the right way to appraise one person. We have to communicate with others.

So I have chances to meet potential clients almost everyday. As a debt consultant, that means all people I’ve met with financial hardship. When they came to my office with an appointment, the first impression of them look very depressed and unconfident. So I can imagine they have big problem and I found they are all negative thinking at our conversation……
I decide which program fit their needed based on their financial information for solution their financial problem……
Finally, I was so happy that couple years after, when some of them came to my office say thank you to me, they look totally different from the previous…they look happy and become confident. Therefore I believe the first impression because who you are on the inside eventually shows up on the outside.

Last year, my sister came to Texas to take care of her daughter because her daughter married an America
living in Texas. Her daughter was going to deliver her baby soon in a few day, so we went to her daughter’s house to help. we helped by preparing her diet and taking care of her for one month after her birth. At the end, my sister went back home to Taiwan earlier then expected and was sad. She left early because she could not handle the culture shock she experienced in Texas. First, her daughter drank iced water. Second , she could not take Chinese herbal medicine or any food added rice wine because her husband’s family did not believe in Chinese practices. My sister thought that our Chinese traditions would be good for the mother and especially who are feeding new born baby ，but the in- laws thought differently. This was such a shock to my sister and it caused a lot of tension between our two families which made everyone not happy ]]> 2018-01-13 19:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/221206482 Culture shock/currency and tax https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/221226035 When I first went shopping in the U.S, I found that the price of products were not integer. The price I saw is the hundredth .But in my country,
the minimum currency is one dollar. Then, I bought something and paid the money, but the price is not what I seen in the label , After I saw the receipt ,I knew where the problem is. I forgot to add the tax. Sale tax is excluded in USA .But in Taiwan, tax is included .

One day, my friend and I ate lunch at a Chinese noodle shop near school. After we finished the meal, we put the money on the dining table and left. When we just walked out the door, we heard the waitress chased behind us and yelled "Hi, you didn't tip." My friend and I suddenly realized what was wrong with us, and we smiled into each other. With embarrassing, we gave the tips immediately. When I told my sister this story, my sister told me, the waitress should not ask for tips from you because you have the right to refuse tipping if you think her service is bad. Anyway, I think tipping is an unpleasant thing.

The first time that I came to LA I stayed with my cousins in West Covina. One day, I spent 2 hours on bus to arrive to Santa Monica Pier and I needed to return early because it would be the same to come back.
I went to Downtown few times because I could visit museums, historic and interesting places but, it was a nightmare when the stop of the bus was changed the place or the bus arrived late because sometimes I needed to make a connection with other bus or train and then I lost the connection.
It was very frustrating for me because in Mexico city, you could move easily around the city on bus, taxi, subway, metrobus and the cost is cheaper than here.
Lisett]]> 2018-01-16 06:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/221587274 Culture shock https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/221587577 First visiting Los angles about 12 years ago, there was an unforgettable experience about "car seat" happening to me . I remembered that It was the first day my wife and I arrived here and we decided to go to a supermarket for buying some foods and baby infant Formula . Due to the first day , we brought our son who was 11 months old without sitting on the " car seat" by driving our rental car to there. I didn't think it was a big deal to take care of. After we finished shopping and just walked outside of the supermarket , I saw a policeman stood right near our car waiting for us. We were scared and waited for a while to see the policeman if he would go away later, but he didn't. About 20 minutes later, we encouraged ourselves to go to our car and asked what had been happening that he should wait for us. The policeman told us that someone had seen us not using " car seat" to bring our baby here. It was a big issue and illegal here and should be prohibited. The most serious punishment is taking my child away to a child protection organization. We were so anxious and scared just like " an ant on a hot pot" . We begged him and explained what was happening to us. He was a generous and nice man who forgave us and told us to buy a new " car seat" in a nearest grocery store. It was a happy ending.
At that moment , I realized that " obey laws and disciplines , and don't take any chances" was so important to live here. There are always just people watching you and reminding you what you do is incorrect. A terrible but important thing to share with you.

One time, i hurried to walk to school, while i was crossing a stress with no traffic light, and I noticed a car was coming. I stopped to wait for the car to pass. Unexpected, the car stopped near me and the driver gave me a signal to pass. And that was not only one time, the drivers here always yield to the pedestrians. I was shocked. At the same time, i wondered why people in China doesn’t do that.

In China, motor vehicles always have first priority because there are more pedestrians than America. If vehicles in China have pedestrians the right of way, no cars would ever move. However, I like that pedestrians have higher priority in America. Because it gives people more value than the traffic system.

Thomas]]> 2018-02-12 06:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/230480551 Vietnamese superstition https://padlet.com/jungwkim_citrus/ESLN1074/wish/230486957 1) The first day of Tet
The first day of the Vietnamese New Year is a very important day for most traditional families. They believe that everything must be cleaned before this day arrives as a tardy cleanse can sweep away all of the family’s good luck and prosperity. They are even concerned with who should first set foot in their house on the first day of Tet. Apparently, it should be someone whose lunar birth year does not rival the owners. For example, people born in the year of the Tiger, Monkey, Snake or Pig will probably not be welcomed at one another’s house on that day.
2) How to remedy bad business
The commencement of anything seems excessively important to many Vietnamese. To many superstitious street vendors, the success of their day is determined by how it starts and by their first customer. When you are the first person to come by their cart and you do not buy anything, they might consider you a harbinger of bad luck. To redeem it, they would burn a piece of paper and wave or hop over it nine times, as to clear the air and burn out all hovering, ill-fated karma. There are other practices that can ensure good luck as well, such as scattering rice grains and salt.
3) Reverse your bad luck with fetus eggs from a duck
Many Vietnamese believe that eating duck fetus eggs can help bring back good luck, assuming you’re in a deficit. If you’re having a bad day, eat one of these embryotic delicacies and you will be right with the world. But beware, only eat them in odd numbers or else the bad luck will return!
Why in odd numbers? In Vietnamese, the word "fetus eggs" is "trứng vịt lộn" and "lộn" means reverse – hence if you eat one egg, it will turn your bad luck back to good. Eat another and it reverses back to bad luck. Who would have thought that superstition comes with logical mathematics?

4) Don’t express lavish admiration for a new baby, because the devils might hear you and steal the child because of his desirability.
5) Do not place chopsticks in food and leave them there (only do this action for dead people).
6) Do not hand someone a toothpick. This action means separation or dissociation.
