時間快轉我的美國留學就這樣已經一年了，趁這個暑假我要來趕緊錄製/分享我今天spring break去了SLC, Utah的有趣事情！

今年的spring break 我飛去了鹽湖城找了我的好朋友Jamie在當地旅遊了一個禮拜，直到今天我都還記得那邊的風景真的好美好美......也許對很多人來說Utah算是一個比較少聽過的地方，老實說在我還沒出發前我也這麼覺得，然而現在那已經成為我最喜歡的地方之一了！

*podcast裡我想分享關於二手店挖寶的單字叫做：thrift store

Time flies; it has been a year now studying abroad in the US. And I want to record/share things that I found so interesting in SLC, Utah, during my Spring break this year.

I met my friend, Jamie, for the whole of my Spring week there in SLC, Utah. Even today, I can still remember how breathtaking the views were there. For many people, Utah may be a state that they are not that familiar with, and to be honest, so was I. But now, it has been one of my favorite places in the State.

Thank you for listening to this episode.

Thank you to everyone who made this amazing Thanksgiving celebration happen. This break will definitely become one of the most memorable memories that I have had in 2025 and in my life. Again, I really appreciate all the friends, dog (Floria, hehe), and foods. I really had the best time there in the town and just enjoyed the holidays with Monica's family! 🦃💖

歡迎收聽《米國原來是這樣！》的全新系列～這是我來到美國Virginia State讀書的快三個月了，從小到大不管是從新聞、電影、電視節目、歌曲都多少透過這些媒介認識某一部分的美國/西方文化，殊不知來到這邊還是有一大堆文化衝激...哈。因此就這樣愛紀錄的我決定將這個讀書/探險的旅程記錄下來，和你們一起分享、一起explore!

Thanks for listening to the whole new serious "What I’ve expected vs what it’s actually like studying/living in the US!" Looking back to my childhood, we all kind of understood and learning part of the US/ western culture from news, movies, TV shows, or songs. At the point when I thought "Ok, I think I pretty know about this country," what happened in real life was actually different from what I thought (haha) (with many culture shocks). Therefore, as a person who loves to record stuff down, I've decided to record my studying abroad/exploring experiences down, and share them with you!

I am finally here studying my bachelor's degree in Virginia, United States. I was honored enough to be invited by one of my college professors' house to experience the local festival, Country’s Day. It was truly an amazing experience. Good view, good friends, good hike, and good vibe. 🤍

10月份的哥倫布日/原住民日的假期好榮幸被大學的教授邀請到她的家一起體驗當地的鄉村日。即使很多人都是第一次見面、都不太熟悉，但大家真的都很友善也很open-mind的去認識不同人。除了享受教授老公收集的傳統樂器外，還體驗了hiking, 看當地人消除蜂巢、爬樹屋等。是一個很溫馨、想要好好紀錄的一個假期，祝正在收聽的你也有個美好的一天 :)

感謝我的好友Henry的友情客串，也感謝收聽這集的你：）

I have been learning English since I was a child, and it wasn’t until I had the opportunity to learn more different languages (Japanese & Spanish) in high school that I gradually learned more about the skills of learning a language. Therefore, in this episode, I will share 10 interesting methods or habits I learned English in my daily life. On the path of learning a language, you are not alone, we all can do it well and right together! If you have any other great methods, you are welcome to leave a common below to share them with me and other audiences. Thank you for listening:)

I am honored to invite my best friend, Kimberly, to share our experiences of studying in an international school in this episode. I hope you enjoy it and wish for all of us to find the things we truly love someday.

:)
