An Authentic Shooting in the National Park Of Greenwood
Sep.21,Saturday.Michael who is my partner of Eye Program invited me to shooting in the National Park of Greenwood Several days ago.He is an enthusiasm American.He always wants to let me know more about American culture.Very glad to meet him here.After he inviting me,I invited three Chinese students in the same history class,two Chinese scholars,Han Gao and Boyoung to join us.
Before Saturday,Boyoung and I went to Waltmart and bought hans,waters,grapes,eggs,snacks and bread.We would make sandwiches by ourselves.Boyoung said her mother always made sandwich for her when she was young.This was the first time for me to make sandwiches.American lifes let me know how to make a lot of food.This was a fortune.
We prepared everything and met Michael at 10 o’clock on the Saturday’s morning.The scene of National Park was beautiful.We saw a big lake and took the photos together.We tried to take risk following Mr.Liu but at last we failed.Luckily we saw several white mushrooms but we were afraid of their toxin.Mr. Liu who was an artist has eyes of finding beauty.
After we had the lunch in the camp site,Michael and Han drove us to the shooting gallery.It wasn’t far away from the lake.We arrived the shooting gallery ten minutes later.To our surprise,Michael took two guns , several targets ,paper and earplugs out of the back of his car.I just thought that it was a free shooting gallery.I didn’t know that Michael brought his own things for shooting.I invited some students and scholars to join us and Michael promised everything.I didn’t realize that it would cost Michael a lot money.I felt American people pure and friendly.
Michael made the three targets and we found he put them very close .Interesting!He told us not to be in front of the guns.That’s very important!Every of us could try two guns and shoot ten bullets.I can’t remember whether I have shot at some time.Maybe13 years ago in the beginning of my university life,I shot once during the military training.I think it was the first time for me to touch the true gun.Michael told me that he had weapon permit card.It was not difficult for him to buy bullets.Fifty bullets cost him seventeen to twenty-four dollars.With Michael’s help,everyone finished shooting and all of us felt very excited.
During the whole process,we all felt different country,different culture.In America,you can own the guns and you can control your gun by yourself.We all think weapon is very dangous.If everyone owns weapon,how can you make sure you are safe?Maybe next time I meet Michael and then we can talk about that.
The most important thing to us is that we had a distinctive experience.Thank you,Michael.

I met some professors and their wifes.Some I had known before and others are the first time for me to know about.Every one is kind.I tried to talk with every one and took picture with them.I tried to remember their names.I met Dave Slimmer and Pedro Lopets again.We’ve known about each other when they visited Shanghai Normal.I took pictures with them and their wifes.They were all very nice to invite me to their house.Now I must thank for my university to have given me the opportunity of showing them around Shanghai before.Mr.Pedro Lopets told me that he would invite all the Chinese teachers to his house and then we can do some cooking.We expect that!I knew about Ms.Park who is a dancing teacher by Boyoung’s introduction.She is a Korean lady.And I also knew about Dr.Lee and his wife.He is a Korean.There are three Korean teachers in Lander.They are Boyoung,Ms Park and Dr.Lee.I also need to thank for Boyoung.She always introduces teachers to me and explain everything for me.Mrs.Ball was so kind to me ,too.She was 66 yeas old but she still looks very nice.We talked a lot.
I think every one enjoyed party.We could talk while eating.So fun!I will remember today forever.

BBQ In State Park
Oct 5,Saturday.
Today we went to the State Park under Po's organization.
The State Park is twenty minutes driving away from Lander.But it took us about 2 hours to get there.Why?Because we wanted to go to National Park at first and when we arrived there,National Park closed because of U.S.politics shutdown.Though we all know that,we still wanted to try and then it was the first time for me to see it close.Luckily,the State Park was still open.To our surprise,there was a much bigger lake over there than National Park.
We put all of the food on the table which we bought from Waltmart yesterday.In fact,we didn't know how to do BBQ except Po Hu.He called himself BBQ master.The fact proved that he was.In China you can go to the park and have specialized place for BBQ.But now you had nothing here except the shelf for BBQ.Here was different from China.If you don't have experience,you won't know how to deal with BBQ.Luckily we brought everything.Po knew everything .We baked beaf,chicken wing,corn ,sausage ,onion and so on.You can't imagine how delicious the food was.Every one enjoyed it.We took the pictures;we talked happily and we made food by ourselves.We didn't feel we were staying in American Park.We didn't feel lonely.Nice weather,delicious food,kind people……

Rock Climbing
Oct.21,Saturday.Today Boyoung and I went to rock climbing in the Goat Mountain.This was the acitivity organized by the Campus Recreation and Intramurals.Two Korean students went there with us.This was the real first time for me to experience the rock climbing.
Though it was inside,I thought it was not easy for me to climb.I tried the easy ones and then I climbed the top.But I was afraid of thahe rock wall.After I had a rope with my body,I felt safety and I knew someone would support to me.Everything became easier than before.It's my turn.When you were never nervous any more,you could do everything.I still couldn't imagine I could climb so high.I climbed to the top.
When I wrote down this experience,I thought I defeated myself once more.The experience of visiting America encourages me to try everything I've never experienced.That was a big fortune.

Memorable Get-together on Saturday
Oct.19,Saturday.After rock climbing,we planed a get-together at night.Our dean Po Hu voluteered to make a dinner for us.This was the third time for him to do cooking for us except BBQ.I always said if you didn't know about him,you can't believe he is our dean.
We bought a lot of food in the afternoon.Fish,pork,beaf,shrinp,sweet tomato,pepper,onion,beer ,broccoli and so on.So much delicious food he made just in a short time.We talked happily and had a good time in our house.
Though we came from different places,now we are staying in the same palace——Lander.It's not easy .I really enjoyed Lander's life because of Lander's people.I never feel alone as here is just as a big family.
I will remember all of you.Lovely people!

Oct.26,Saturday.We went to the National Park under Boyoung's suggestion.Another nice weather!Boyoung wanted to see the red tree leaves.Though the weather become colder and colder,the tree leaves haven't become red.Everything was ok because we could have another chance to be there.
BBQ master Po prepared for all of the food yesterday and then we didn't care about food.We really enjoyed the porks and chicken wings he made for us.Mr.Liu went on painting .He was deeply involved himself in the beautiful scene.He just ate a few after we took some BBQ to him.He was a good artist!
After the wonderful lunch,Boyoung wanted to make Jack'O Lantern .Today's morning we went to Waltmart and bought two pumpkins.Boyoung told me the first time she made Jack'O Lantern was four years ago.I was lucky to learn how to make it from her.We talked about the origin of Holloween Day.It's Oct.31 of every year .Many American people would like to celebrate it. Wear Holloween costume,lighten Jack'O Lantern,give children candies……
Though it was the first time for me to carve the pumpkin,my skill was not bad.Have you seen the left pumpkin?That's my work.The other was Boyoung's work.Mr. Shan joined us.He helped Boyoung to carve pumpkin.We all called him "pumpkin master".

Hiking in the Jones Gap Park
Nov.3,Sat.Today we went to the Jones Gap Park ,which is one part of the Smoky Mountain. Po put forward to this activity and he drove us to there for about one hour and a half.
It was a state park,different from Chinese park.The park is very big.An abundant of natural scene in American's park.At first I can't understand what is hiking.After climbing five hours in the Jones Gap Park,I understood the meaning of hiking and would never forget this activity.
On the bottom of the mountain,we chose the rainbow fall to be our destination.I thought the way to the fall wasn’t too difficult for me to climb.But it’s still very special for me .Sometimes the trails were not very clear to walk.You should walk or climb following the sign on the tree.In fact I couldn’t notice any sign on the tree because I should pay more attention to my way.I just followed my companions.Boyoung and Mr.Shan were walking before me,Po and Mr.Liu.Sometimes we couldn’t see both of them.I didn’t think we walk slowly.Every one is an expert except me.I tried my best to keep them up.I didn’t know how long we have walked.I kept walking all the time.But we still didn’t keep up Boyoung.When we reached the top of the mountain,we were surprised to see the highway for the car instead of the rainbow fall.At that moment ,we realized that we took the wrong way.How it happened?We saw the red signs and followed them.Terrible!We returned back and chose the other way……When we reached the rainbow fall,how grand the rainbow fall was!We didn’t see Boyoung and Mr.Shan.Po asked the foreign person and was told that they had returned.What a pity!I didn’t take pictures with Boyoung and Mr.Shan.
When we returned the bottom of the mountain,we met Boyoung and Mr.Shan.I just knew that Boyoung and Mr. Shan had waited for us for about one hour in the rainbow fall.They thought we could get there very easy.We didn’t realize that we took a wrong way and it cost us for one hour.Both of them found Mr.Liu’s jeacket on the tree on their way back the bottom.They were so surprised at that.They thought there were something wrong with us.They left the paper on the tree and they asked help for the adminstrater.But we just thought they were before us.Boyoung said that everybody said there was only one way to the fall.When I showed picture of the other way with the red signs,both of us thought there were something wrong with the red signs.We took the wrong way and it was very dangerous .It’s a unique hiking.Luckily everyone still enjoyed the hiking.Both Boyoung and I thought that we would not walk separately.Group is important for us.
