大板根 Forest Spa Resort

A cloudy Thu. noon. After lunch in a fancy restaurant in the mountains, we went to 大板根 Forest Spa Resort, 三峽 to enjoy the outdoor spa! ( $350 each, non-holiday )
At first, I was shivering all over with cold after putting on my swimsuit. Considerately, the resort offered warm ginger tea! After a small cup of tea, we went soaking in hot springs. Wow! So comfortable~ The water temperature was between 38~41°C. We enjoyed most of the facilities: salt area, ozone area, steam bath and massage hydropathy pool. Cold water (12°C) area was the only one I didn't try. Besides, they offer lotions for body and hair before visitors leave.
Really, I think the resort is worth a visit. Just remember to choose a weekday!

Ugly school authorities!

Finally, this semester ended today! I get tired of being a titular leading teacher of our school traditional music band. The Administrative Office doesn't respect teachers. Only few days remained before I was informed that our band would have a performance and I had to conduct. Didn't they know kids have to practice and rehearse adequately before performing on the stage?
They told me there'll be money applied from the government in my account. But, it isn't mine. I have to return the money to the band later. What?! So I'm just a ...?!#$&?! I'm forced to run errands for the office to go to the bank and get the money back.
Their undesirable traditions are too numerous to record. Well, I'll have to insist my decisions! Let's wait and see next term!
