隨著與寄宿家庭的見面，我慢慢敞開心扉，開始盡興的玩了起來。我們四處走訪，去了著名的
金門大橋，隨著叮噹車走過起起伏伏的街道，一陣陣風隨著車子的前進拍打著我，這似乎太過美好，
但是那正在發生。晚上，我們去看 nba 的金州勇士對戰洛杉磯快艇，當我聽聞，我幾乎不敢相信這
麼快就要達成我的夢想，當我步入莫大的場館，那震撼了我的雙眼。現場的氣氛帶著我上升，當球
滑過天際，「刷」的一聲入網，我彷彿真的置身天堂，對於一個籃球愛好者，置身在電視上真正的
場景是個奢華的享受。雖然結果不如其意，但我依然感動無比。這次出遊我不僅體驗到了道地的萬
聖節、nba、校園生活，更讓我感受的國外各方面的氛圍與生活方式，大大拓展了我的視野，十分慶
幸有把握住這次機會，帶給我一個完美的體驗，如果有機會，我絕對會再次參加。

American school was way more chill than Taiwan school, they were able to dismiss at 1 or 2 in the
afternoon, which made me very jealous, and it seems like they don't have academic pressure, the test and
curriculum were very easy compared to Taiwan's. However the school lunch over there was very disgusting,
and there weren't many choices, only 3, its the same every single day.

Since it's Halloween season, we went to pumpkin patch, its a place with pumpkins and hay placed on the
ground, and it created a mazes, where you can take pictures with pumpkins. The day we went to pumpkin
patch, the sky was especially pretty, with different shades of pink, purple, blue, blended with the clouds. I
realized that in Cupertino, the sky was a lot cleaner, since there weren't any buildings blocking it, and in the
night, it was particularly dark, since the houses are very low, and there weren't any lights. We've also carved
pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns, also known as the pumpkin lantern. The pumpkin was easier to crave than I'd
expected, since many people say it's hard to carve, and you need to put in a lot of effort, but to me, it's just
using up our force and choosing the right tool. We also went trick
or treating, and I love my costume along with my makeup, I am the
joker! This is probably the first and only time I'll ever dress up again
for Halloween, since nobody does that in Taiwan.
