FOOD Ena Location: Ruiguangli, No. 35, Tianzhong, Pingtung City 900 Writer: 顏以苹 Do you like pasta? Ena is a restaurant located on the food street right across from Pingshang Campus. The restaurant offers a wide variety of pastas, risottos, and waffles. Ena s pleasant atmosphere makes it a desirable place for friends to gather together. Try to imagine yourself in a fairytale-style restaurant with graceful music, while enjoying fresh hot pasta that costs only NT$89! One great feature of Ena is that you can add noodles or rice for FREE! Moreover, people who check in on Facebook can get a free cup of black tea. In terms of the food, the chef adds chipped carrots, cabbage, and cauliflower into every dish, making each meal appear flavorful. Here, I would like to recommend their baked chicken pumpkin-sauce pasta - the baked cheese on top is the best part, because it is nice and gooey in a delicious sort of way. The chicken also goes very well with the sugary pumpkin sauce. The restaurant is open from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed on weekends. Please make sure not to miss this hidden gem! If you are still wondering where to go for dinner, then try out Ena! You will not regret it. Food Price Environment Service Recommendation
CULTURE There are a variety of ways to celebrate New Year all over the world. Some of them are exceptional, and some of them are bizarre. Below are three countries that commemorate New Year in unique ways. Happy New Year Writer: 黃姿瑄 In Spain Since 1909, in Spain, it has gradually become a trend to eat a bunch of grapes on the New Year day as the yield of grapes produce fruitfully at Alincante area. The countdown to the observance begins at 12:00 a.m. People gather at Puerta del Sol, the central plaza in Madrid, and set to eat twelve grapes individually within 12 seconds as the clock rings. Every grape represents a month and a wish, and it is believed to bring good luck and prosperity by eating grapes. In Italy In Italy, there are some must-do activities on the New Year day, such as taking part in the music concert, eating auspicious food, wearing red apparel, and so on. Red is commonly associated with blood and means wars. However, during the period of Roman Empire, this color means to keep away from fear. The people dressing red on that day brought fortune and luck. In Taiwan Chinese New Year is also called Spring Festival. Here is a Chinese New Year story. Nian was a monster that lived in the mountain, it came out annually to attack the innocent villagers and ate lots of animals during Chinese New Year. However, people found an effective way to scare away the monster by dressing red apparel and setting off fire crackers on that day. Day after day, these two activities became prevalent routine traditionally. Later on, people make good use of this vacation to reunion with their relatives yearly and to have a feast with them delightedly. The three countries have their own distinct celebrations on New Year s Day with various customs and cultures, and it is interesting for us to learn more about them.

MOVIE Writer: 賀世涵 If you have a chance to live on a new planet, would you want to try it? The movie Passengers represents five thousands people deciding to take a spaceship, to leave for a brand-new planet to make a fresh start. However, due to a malfunction of the cabin, the actor Jim is forced to wake up. After deliberating, he decides to wake up the actress Aurora because he feels lonely and boring. During this adventure, they overcome a lot of difficulties and have their beautiful love. When seeing the movie trailer, I feel its plot extremely appeals to me even though there are a number of negative reviews on the Internet. In the movie, gorgeous special effects make you feel spectacular as if you are traveling in the space. Nevertheless, the thrilling sentiment between Jim and Aurora is the most impressive. Although she hit the roof and was hard for her to forgive Jim s previous mistake that breaks her future plan, she still strives to save his life. I think that is A friend in need is a friend indeed. The movie Passengers not only is full of excitement but also delivers heartfelt and profound love story, which gives you a visual delight and spiritual growth. If you haven t seen the movie, this is definitely a movie for you to watch. Released year 2016 Movie genres Science Fiction Movie Rating 4 /5
Why do we feel uncomfortable with the sound of scratching a blackboard? Writer: 黃若嘉 There are some quite unbearable sounds to people s ears. For example, some people are afraid of steel spoons knocking on the bowl, while others hate the sound of skin rubbing with the teeth. Those sounds that make a lot of people tremble or shudder are called sound allergies. However, the most nauseous sound that makes nearly everyone feel sick is the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard. When I was in junior high school, one of my classmate would cry whenever she heard the sound of nails scratching a blackboard. However, why do people feel uncomfortable when they hear this sound? There are two arguments to this theory. First, researchers found that the sound generated by a nail scratching a blackboard has the same audio frequency as a baby crying or human screaming, which is considered to be a signal for help or danger. TRIVIA There is another saying. Primitive stone-age people were often preyed upon by animals, and the sound of chewing bones from wild beasts such as lions, wolves, or tigers is like the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard. At that time, when our ancestors heard this kind of sound, they knew that their friends were unfortunately being eaten, thus increasing their own time to escape from being the next meal. Nowadays, stepping back and screaming when seeing snakes, spiders, or worms has become a natural instinct for many human beings. Although modern people have little to no opportunity for seeing fierce animals like lions, wolves, or bears in the wild, they still find it to be very excruciating when they hear the sound of scratching a blackboard - like a dim reminder of human bones being chewed in previous times.

SCHOOL EVENT Shot! Basketball Games in this Semester Writer: 陳沂萱 It is well-known that the basketball team of our department has outstanding performances. From this semester, the basketball team of the department of International Trade merged with our team. The combination increases our power. The following forms show the matches of each game. 猴仔盃 DAE+IT VS NPTU AC 49:40 DAE+IT VS NPUST SWC 44:37 DAE+IT VS NPUST ME (Extra round) 62:59 DAE+IT VS NPTU PE 39:53 DAE+IT VS NPTU Indigenous + CS 47:59 DAE+IT VS NPTU IM 61:31 DAE+IT VS AC+ NPTU DOE 48:55 屏商盃 DAE+IT VS COM + ACC 60:45 DAE+IT VS CSIE 32:29 DAE+IT VS DAJ 75:22 DAE+IT VS DOF 38:30 DAE+IT VS RM 34:42 DAE+IT VS CAM 60:54 DAE+IT VS MDM 36:28 DAE+IT VS LM+BA 44:43 It is worth joining the basketball team. For one thing, you can stay healthy. In college, students tend to become lazy and eat more and more junk food. It is easy for them to gain weight. Exercising regularly helps not only stay in a good body shape but also become healthy. You also enjoy teamwork while playing basketball. Since basketball is a team sport, you have to collaborate with others. Through such practicing, you will be familiar with the tactics of the game as well as your teammates. Are you a basketball lover? If you are interested in the team, it is never late to join in! Every Tuesday and Thursday, you can see a group of people in red practicing hard on the basketball court. Don t hesitate. DAE Basketball Team is waiting for you!

Barbecue Party Are you fed up with playing games in each activity? In the end of the semester, the student association of our department intends to give everyone a brand-new party. Namely, we will hold a barbecue party. Since this is a new activity, we strongly believe that you are interested in it. Now, we are pleased to ask our general coordinators several questions. Writer: 陳沂萱 Q: Why did you choose to hold a barbecue party? A: Being the general coordinators, we were often wondering if it was a good idea to play games like we used to. Or we may celebrate in some other ways. Both my staff and I prefer the latter option. Hey! I remember that some departments hold barbecue parties! Perhaps we can try this, too, I said to my partner. This barbecue party was settled. Q: How did you find a place for barbecuing? A: Since it was impossible to hold the party in school, we asked other departments where they used to barbecue. My friend told us that they went to a venue next to a temple in Linlou. Therefore, we went there at first. However, the master of the place refused us because they had been protested by their neighbors for noise and smoke. Even though we felt upset, we didn t give up. We kept asking people who had experiences of barbecuing. Eventually, we found the 你儂我儂 Farm. Q: Did you face any obstacle? A: First, finding a suitable place was the most challenging task for us. Initially, we did not take 你儂我儂 Farm into account because it was completely different from our expectation. It was no exaggeration that it was just a piece of land with grass. The facilities were no ideal, and the service was none. Nevertheless, there were very few options for us. We had no choice but pick this farm as the venue. Q: Did you have a sense of achievement from arranging the BBQ activity? A: Honestly speaking, not until we finish this activity will we gain a sense of achievement. Luckily, we have support from many efficient and reliable staff. From designing the poster, announcing this activity, handing the budget, making the enrolling form, to inviting professors, we definitely could not complete the task without the help from each member in the association. Q: What is your anticipation of this activity? A: As a matter of fact, this barbecue party is not a grand activity. From our point of view, the main purpose for this activity is to unite everyone, having a meal together and having fun with each other. We hope that every participant will have a great time with us.
