Hi Blissers,

Patrick led us to know the origin of Baroque. We knew not only about the European building but also Taiwan's. He also showed us the video and photos of Baroque buildings in Taiwan and explained the construction and details of building. During some compared photos, all of us missed the buildings in old times. In the end, he made us a debate and let us to think more about how to reserve the old buildings and get the balance in this modern living style. Thank you, Patrick.

Topic: "The lost Baroque spirits in Taiwan"by Patrick@4/27 14.00 伯朗咖啡(南京一店 3F)

.............................................................................................................................................................................

Hi Blissers,

Guess where this building is from? It's not from Europe or Russia, or Middle ease, but right in our living place - Taiwan. 


You may not know there are hundreds of exotic buildings like this one throughout the island.

This week I am going to reveal the soul and spirits of antique architecture in Taiwan. There are only a few people who really can appreciate the beauty and grandeur of buildings in old times. No, it's not they are blind or in lack of artist taste, but they can not easily discover the treasure, pearl concealed in some unbeaten corners. 

2:00 ~ 2:30: warm up activities - share the impression of special landmarks in Taiwan.
2:30 ~ 3: 30: Introduction of exotic buildings with location & history in Taiwan
3:30 ~ 3:40: 10 min break
3:40 ~ 4:45: presentation of reviving Tokyo Rail station - How to make all old things live agin in modern world? Where is the Renaissance in Taiwan's architecture? 




4:45 ~ 5:00: 15 min break
5:00 ~ 5:30: guessing game on nowadays location vs old times construction.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Blissers,

The host of Kevin Cheng advises us how to apply the university in the USA last week. It was very useful and he also brought his application to share with everyone.  Additional to the language , there are more criteria. Although you can have the agent to help for application, the main point is still to prepare the sufficient documents by yourself then you can submit the application. 

More than the TOEFL scores (must achieve the required score), the application also requires for transcript of University-Chinese & English version, working experience or not, GMAT result...etc( the details as attached from Kevin). 

Later, Kevin made us into 4 groups and practiced the faculty interviews. It is like the professors of University to interview you. He also taught us how to answer properly. This skill can be used not only for applying university but also hunting the jobs. It is very useful. In the end, we also chose the best team and awarded the gifts. Thanks for Kevin to offer a wonderful afternoon. 

Attendance: Kevin Cheng, Annie, Daniel, Wisely, Serina, Cherry, Kevin Huang, Natalie, Cara, Jeff

Hi Blissers,
 
The host, Peter, brought a very happy moment to us last week, which is "How to keep happy and bliss". Peter told us the secret of happiness, and the answer is "Don't think too much and just do it!". He thought we need to keep smiling when we face anything. The happy mind brings the happy things. In the end of meeting, we also had a small test and share the result to every one. We also analyzed the happy level of each one and all of us participated the discussion spontaneously. It was such an interesting meeting!
 
The attached file is provided by Peter and hope these suggestions could make you happy every day.

Hi Blissers,

We had our lunch at Nan-Liao and this restaurant offered us the very delicious seafood. Then we were heading to 苗栗日新島 and we spent the time to create our poems. We celebrated the birthday of blissers and encourage every one to come to meeting as often as possible. We also acted the poems from old times and we found the blissers not only good at English but also Chinese. The last place we visited was 好望角 and the landscape was so amazing. 
Here are some poems we would like to share with you.

Dear All,
 
 
Thanks for Ashow to host a meeting about "To sue or not to sue". This meeting brought the blissers the knowledge of law suing. The most important thing is if it is worth to sue before you decide to sue. One of the attorney's functions is to help the clients to clarify the circumstance. Before making the decision, we should know one more important thing, which is the fee of suing. The below items are the general costs for civil Litigations: 
- Court fee
- Attorney fee
- Fees for compulsory execution
- Security Bond
- Compensation of expert witness
- Other

There is another thing to remind you. "If I win, will they pay me?" The winner may charge the cost from the party losing the law. It is not 100% for sure and it should depand on the situation. The rest of the meeting, Ashow made the blissers into 3 groups and discussed the case study. Each group provided different views on the cases. This discussion taught us the further understanding of law about ourselves. We appreciated Ashow for this meeting and the delicious bread.
 
3/9 Attendance: Ashow, Jeff, Vicky, Daniel, Naihsin, Judith , Kurt, Jessica, Annie, Joe, Sophia, Mengta, Edward, Natalie, Angela, Serina.

Hi Blissers,

Thanks for Jeff to host a meeting about building the relationship with children, how to teach children and how to communicate. Jeff made us into 3 groups to discuss and answered the questions. Additional to introduce the writer of Parenting,Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and he also advised the ways how to get along with kids, such as "Authoritarian parenting", which is the children need to follow the order of parent, "Authoritative parenting", which is the parents set up the regulation and it is negotiable, "Permissive or Indulgent parenting", which is the parents offer the total freedom to children, and "An uninvolved parenting style", which the parents only provide the basic needs of life. All of the information made everyone have a better idea about communication with children. 

Each group also did some performances which Jeff prepared about the social news. It was very interesting and enhanced the knowledge of parenting. In the end, Jeff was thoughtful to prepare some small gifts. After this meeting, it made Blissers who have children know better about how to be with their children and who don't have children to know the importance of relationship between parent and children.

Dear Blissers,

 When you are injured by the negligence or misconduct of others, whether it is for personal injury, fraud, malpractice, breach of contract, or other common lawsuits, you k! now you can fight for your rights. Indeed, the purpose of a lawsuit is to provide someone who has suffered a loss at the hands of another party a legal means to recover the property or other damages from the offender. 

 However, justice is not for free. Do you know how much it might cost to fight for justice in Taiwan 's civil justice system? You might be shocked to learn the price, especially when you are trapped and may not withdraw a case from court. 

 Deciding on whether or not you should sue requires you answering four fundamental questions: Do you have a good case? If you win, will they pay? What are the costs for lawsuits? Is there any alternative available to you apart from to sue? 

 To entile you have a fair chance to receive justice through Taiwan 's legal system, come join us on this Saturday and learn more about it. You are also welcome to share your experience and listen to others' advice. 
Meeting Agenda:
 14:00 - 14:15 Warm up, self introduction
14:15 - 15:00 To sue or Not to Sue - Hollow Victory? Factors to Consider 
 Break 
15:15 - 16:00 Legal Action for Civil Dispute 1: Pre-litigation
