Not many people knows that TKU ( Tamkang university ) offer plenty of great PE ( physical education ) course for its student. Water activities is an example. This course included surfing, windsurfing and other progress with the season to help student develop skills to adapt with water course.
The curriculum is divided to two part, the first part is a five weeks of classes which take places at the school's swimming pool. In these classes, students got to learn some basic life saving skills such as what to do when you're out of energy, what to do when you suddently got cramped, how to survive or save life in bad weather etc. The classes also introduce different kind of swimming stroke, mostly feature life-saving style . Most important, it features surfing and windsurfing technique in theory. After these five weeks, class-free for 3 weeks since most of the offical class time will be counted in the second part. So for people who is a bit random with PE classes like me, great choice. In fact, who wouldn't like to have 3 week of free classes, it should be a great choice for everybody!
The second part of the course is going out and have fun. Well, not that kind of clubbing "going out" or bar-ing "having fun". Remember the surfing technique mentioned above ? These are chances to apply them, for real. Student can choose a minimum 2 days and maximum 4 days to register and it's all weekend so you don't have to worry about missing any other classes during the week. Most student enjoy the second part at their best for the first reason is that it is pretty cheap, just about half or one-third of the price of surfing outside, people paid for 2000 or 3000 for doing what we student paid for 500, what an offer. The second reason is that this is a great group activities who helps meeting new friends or develop bonding between close friends. The teachers are very nice and very caring for their student. They remember all of the sport habit and teach us how to adapt to the environment quite well.
For student who is not TKU's, look for platform in your school to gather info, it should be available for all Taiwan. If you can't find any, our school welcome everybody!

3. Henry Cat and Friends:
Famous idols in Tamsui town . These are the cute dogs, cats, rabbits family which hand painted in sea rock or printed in everything. From bags to wallet, purse, or even computer mouse, these are the great competitor of Hello Kitty. The price, on the other hands is a concern, most of Henry's stuffs cost from 300NTD to more than 1000NTD. But hey, I usually bumped into people who come all the way from Taipei or the South just to buy a cute, special item that could be found nowhere accept for Tamsui. So if you have some paper, why not ?
Tamsui Old Street
It is not common in everywhere to call a 50 years old street "old", just like calling a fifty something years old lady "old", she might get very angry and you might be in trouble. But well, that's how the locals call it, the street is actually in its most lively, exciting form especially during afternoon till late evening when music are played and color light bulb are twinkled everywhere.
There are a lot of activities you can do here, taking a walk and enjoy the nice weather and sight, eat and buy, playing mini games. When you're tired of walking, check out the foot massage or stop by street performer who usually are defected, when you finished, give them some coins for charity, but don't give money or buy chewing gum from those on the wheelchair thought, they are fake!

Sexy Go Go Girls
In night club, it is not unusual to see Go Go Girls who perform sexy dance to cheer up the crows. In fact, Go Go Girls has become a absolute part of the clubs, especially in Taiwan, where the girls who dress in sporty jeans and bikini are often very very welcome. Wait! Not in BLUR
If you go outside of the club and look at the poster, you will see a big title "Golden Pussy Cat" (translated from Chinese ) which is follow by a small paragraph introducing two Western dancer who actually has a band name called "Crazy Dolls". Fun fact, one of the two girls is actually a graduate student from National Chiao-Tung Univeristy - one of the top five precious school in Taiwan, so if you think these dolls are just brainless moving sexy body. Well, you're wrong.
Unlike many Go Go show in Taiwan, Crazy Dolls features a three part show. The first part is the girl walking out singing "Babe, babe" with their maid costume and taking some special guess who properly had paid a huge amount of money to celebrate their birthday. The girls offer the guess sitting on a chair, tiding them a small ribbon and acting around the stage with the puff like a intro of a pornography movie. The second part is the guess leaving, giving the girl back the chair so that the girls can take off some part of the clothes in the wild, crazy cheer of the crown. The final part is not much different, showing their provoking hot body and dancing around the chair.
According to a loyal customer of the club. Crazy Dolls started from just a few years ago, in the first show the girls were pretty nervous and having lots of friends supporting them at the back stage, from the second and third show photos begins to be posted on Facebook, and the more appreciate received, "the clothes are taking off more often". Their show at the beginning is pretty much like the Taiwanese girls, just pure dancing and looking sexy, but then it changes times after times and revolved to the show right now because "they want to be unique". The resource also said that these two girls received a surprising high paid for only 15 minute show every week.

Cosmic Adventure
When visiting Taipei Astronomical Museum, don't miss out a fun activity : taking on the Cosmic adventure. Costumer will be introduced to sit in a funny oral shaped mini cart, with instruction whether in Chinese or English. After taken your seat and choosing the language you're comfortable with, the cart's doors will close and the show begins.
The story features in the 25th century, when traveling in space has become common and already a kind of public tourism. It's a 10 years long ( each year actually is one minute long in reality ) journey of the solar system. First was the Moon, the closest places to the Earths, then the Sun, the hottest place in our universe, then from Mars to Jupiter. Cosmic adventure uses films, lighting and special effects inter changeably to create magnificent views of the outer space. The carts will spin, turn around and you'll see many special features and infinite surprises, like the Alien in Mars waving their hands at you, or the burning of the Sun right in front of your face. Taking a low-speed and closed compartment gives you a perception of controlling a spacecraft.
The adventure might be just 10 minutes long, but the ride is a life-time experience and unforgettable. The universe is still of unknown matters, why not taking this tour to have your eye open ?
