An accident Last Saturday I went to a Chinese restaurant to attend a party. When we were chatting with some new friends, my elder son fell down from the chair and broke his chin. One of my friend put some ice on his chin immediately so that the wound would not swell up. Therefore we couldn't continue eating because we should go to hospital. In the hospital we met a Chinese doctor. He was very kind. He put some glue on the wound and then put a plaster with a cartoon zebra. He told us that my son should wash his mouth with salt water after eating meal and he could take off the plaster after 3 days. When we came back , it was 10pm. It was very late for children because they usually sleep at 8pm. However, he haven't ate anything this evening.So he ate some food and went to sleep. He looked tired and depressed. I consoled him that he would be better the next morning. The next morning I asked him why he fell down from the chair. I guessed maybe he put his feet on the table for fun because he is a playful boy. But he said he never do that. I believed him and ask him to be more careful. Last month, my younger son also broke his chin in the kindergarten. His teacher brought us to the nearest surgery clinic. The doctor also treated the wound like this. All in all, although it is difficult to avoid the accident, I still hope that my sons can grow up safe and healthy and I will be more careful to take care of them.

A trip in the South of Germany Last week, my family travelled again. Day1, We went to Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History. We saw some skeletons of Prehistoric animals. There were some vivid models show how they lived millions of years ago. Day2, We went to Schweine-Museum and Mercedes-Benz Museum. Schweine-Museum is a special museum with different pigs. 29 rooms divide the exhibition into different fields: from cartoon pig to valuable antique. This is the first time that we saw so many pigs. Then we enjoyed our lunch with White asparagus and pig's feet.They are delicious. The Mercedes-Benz Museum was an automobile museum. It covered the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand.The building was very interesting. Firstly, we took the lift to the top, then we walked down slowly by following a big circle when we saw the history of the car. Day3 and Day4, we went to Legoland. The weather suddenly became very bad, it began to rain heavily, the temperature dropped to 8 degrees. Because of this, there were not so many people there so we didn't wait for a long queue when we were playing. My kids played boat and airplane. After they played the mini-car, they got a driving licences. They felt very surprise and a sense of accomplishment. But the most attractive place for them was the aquarium because they liked watching fish. Day5 and Day6, we visited Hohenschwangau Castle which was a 19th-century palace. It was the childhood residence of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and was built by his father, King Maximilian II of Bavaria. Then we went to Neuschwanstein castle(New Swanstone Castle). It is one of the most popular castles in Europe. Every year 1.4 million people visit "the castle of the fairy-tale king(King Ludwig II)". It's really gorgeous, very majestic and amazing. Day7, we went to Konigssee (king's lake). we took the ship to enjoy the beautiful view--Clear water, large tracts of forests and rolling mountains. We also ate the fish from this lake. It was delicious! Day8, we took the cable car to up the mountain. In the hillside, we saw some cows grazing. After reaching the top, my kids were excited to play the snow because they had never seen snow in summer before. Day9, the last day, we went to Munich and visited The Nymphenburg Palace.King Ludwig II was born there. It has a big garden with lots of swans and other birds. This is an interesting trip, but we were so tired. Next time we decided to play in one place for one week, instead of playing one place for just two days.

A travel experience in Netherlands A travel experience in Netherlands Last week, my family went to Netherlands for a trip. Day 1, we went to Giethoorn. This is a national park with lots of rivers. We rent a boat and rowed the boat on the river. On both sides of the river, we can see some traditional houses. Some goats were eating grass. Some ducks were swimming and following us. It is quite funny! Day 2, we went to Keukenhof. There are different kinds of flowers in this park. Large tracts of flowers are really amazing. The opening dates of Keukenhof are from 24 March to 16 May because the lives of flowers are so short. In the afternoon, when we left Keukenhof, we found somebody has gone inside our car and stolen my bag. We were shocked. There were a navigation and a mobile phone in my bag. We remembered we locked the door before leaving. There was no camera in the parking area so nobody know who was the thief. We felt very disappointed and frustrated. So The next morning, we went to the police station to report it. From this,we learnt do not put any valuables in our car. Day 3,we went to Zaanse Schans Windmill. It has a collection of well-preserved historic windmills and houses. In Zaanse Museum,there are some factory equipment from the food industry, we can press on various displays and try to package as many biscuits and sweets as we can in a computer game. My kids liked the games very much! Day 4,we went to Hoge Veluwe National Park. The Park has a total of 1,700 White Bikes and they were all free. We rode the bicycles and our kids sitting behind us. It is a excellent experience! My kids enjoyed the special museum which was called Museonder. It is the world's first underground museum in the Visitor's Centre. It offers a surprising look at everything that lives and lived underground. All in all, It was a wonderful trip, though a little unpleasant.
