Little Bee's 2nd Exploration at NCHU (大學巡禮2)

#2011-1029

This afternoon not only my wife and I but also my son and his wife suddenly thought of taking Little Bee to the nearby university, NCHU, once again. (Little Bee's first exploration at NCHU is/was on Saturday, April 2, 2011.)

We are happy to give our little prince more opportunities to explore the so-called "outside world." And we agree that NCHU is one of the best (or most convenient) places for him to go . . . and to learn something!

Of course, there are always some very good reasons why we like to visit NCHU together. There on campus we can walk in the shade of trees, around a big and beautiful pond with countless fish, about a dozen ducks or geese, and several eye-catching black swans swimming in it. (If you like, click and see The Black Swan (Teleb book) and black swan theory.)  And in the middle of the pond there is a small island covered with trees and bushes which are shared by hundreds of birds belonging to two different kinds/types; we can see only one type of them during the day and the other type during the night, because these two groups of birds roost in opposite periods of time, one group resting on the island while the other group are looking for food somewhere else. Oh! An island (島 dao, in Chinese) shared by two types of birds (鳥 niao) -- How amazing it is! Can I explain such a phenomenon, or concept of sharing, to my one-year-old grandson Little Bee? It must be too difficult for him to make sense of what I'm saying! . . . So, let me stop talking about "philosophical" things, but tell you something more "practical." This can be our final reason why we like to visit NCHU: All of us except Little Bee will enjoy an afternoon tea/coffee at the MOS Burger inside the university, after taking a pleasant walk on campus.

However, the one who hasn't had burger or coffee is the main focus of our [family] life. As you can see in the following pictures, he is growing much bigger, isn't he?
