My Favorite Place to Eat

There is an restaurant called 巷子. It is located on the intersection of 民生 E. Rd and 三民 Rd. They sell spaghetti and pasta. I like the spaghetti there. I like the noodles they cooked because they are not too soft, not like the others I've eaten. Usually, I go there once a month. Even there are different branches in Taipei city, but I like this one the most. The quality and the taste are stable. I've eaten in the other branch near by the place I live, but it doesn't taste the same every time I went.

I always order "Curry with sea food". I like it a lot. I've tried almost every dish they have, and I like "Curry with sea food" the most. I always go there with my friends and we order differently, so that we can all have different taste. My friends and I like to eat in that restaurant, they play lounge music, and they have hand-made pudding for dessert. The prices are reasonable and the service is very good.

The only problem is that there is always crowded and you need to make a reservation before you go there, especially on the weekends.

I like to eat there and always enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Hope you like it as well.

April Fools' Day

April Fools' Day

If you like to play tricks on people, then you'll love April Fools' Day. It's a fun day for millions of people around the world.

On this day, people try to trick each other. For example, you could tell your friends that all classes have been canceled. Or you could put a plastic insect in somebody's drink!

Some people play bigger tricks, though. In 1957, a British TV show told a story about spaghetti trees. After this, hundreds of people thought that it was possible to grow spaghetti on trees!

April Fools' Day began in France five centuries ago. Back then, the New Year began on April 1st. The king moved the New YEar to January, but many people didn't know this.

Years later, some people still celebrated the New Year on April 1st. These people were called "April fools." People often played tricks on these "fools" to make them look sillier.

Today, April 1st is still a day for tricks. Some people won't believe any interesting news that's broadcast on April 1st. After all, nobody wants to be a fool!
