Autumn Color

Today one of my Taiwanese language exchange partner got a day off, and she invited me to hang out. So we went to National Palace Museum in Taiwan. It was a beautiful sunny day.
It's already the end of October, but still warm outside. I was surprised that there were still cicadas. Japan must be much colder now.

You know, Japanese people love viewing scarlet maple leaves in Autumn. Of course I also do love maple-viewing (紅葉狩り /もみじがり).

In this season, many temples or shrines open till night and light up the maple trees. It's so amazing. You should see it with your own eyes ; )

I miss Autumn colors in Japan.



*Japanese Word of the Day*
秋(あき)って感(かん)じ！
/aki-tte kanji/
I feel like Autumn!/It seems like Autumn!

春(はる)Spring / 夏(なつ)Summer / 秋(あき)Autumn / 冬(ふゆ)Winter
→春夏秋冬(しゅんかしゅうとう) the four seasons

*～って感じ
It's slang among young people. Sometime it's used to soften the sentence tone.


もう、ふざけるな！！って感じ。
I wanna say that don't mess around!

*ふざけるな！/ふざけんな！
Don't be silly! Nonsense! Shut up!Don't f**k with me!



What colors can you see in Autumn in your city? =)
赤とか、黄色って感じ？It's something like red and yellow and so on?
