Good morning all,
Task 1:
I hope that everyone had fun yesterday on our field trip. Let’s reflect here a bit!
Write one paragraph as a reflection to our ROM field trip yesterday and try to include the following thoughts:
- Why did you join this trip?
- What did you like the most?
- What was the one thing that was completely new to you?
- What was/were the thing(s) that you did not like?
- Would you like to go there again? Why?
- How this trip has added to your “Canadian experience,” knowledge, learning … etc.?

I didn’t count how many times I have been to
ROM, but it was the first time I went to there with my classmates. I’m fascinated with archaeology and all kinds of ancient artifacts. Besides the
ancient Chinese part, I’m very passion about minerals in the earth. So, I
always stay at the pavilion of the samples of all kinds of gemstones. These brilliant and
precious stones make me feel very excited. But, it is not the point what I want to say. Unexpectedly, I visited very particular exhibition named " The Third Gender" which is from Japan. Through this exhibition, I knew there was a special group of persons from 17century to 19 century in Japan. Historians call them "Wakashu" which were very young men.
Most of them were from impoverished families and sent to the brothel by their family when they were little boys. They were required to pretend as women and taught singing, dancing, embroidering, even writing and reading poems. Some of them were adopted by rich persons or samurais as companions. Actually, it is just a kind of prostitution. I'm totally shocked by this exhibition. When I was in university, I tried to compare ancient Chinese culture and Japanese culture. So, I can add more materials.
I learned lots of things from Joseph yesterday. He explained the motto which embedded in the ceiling of the hall. In fact, I have never paid attention to this, although I went to there many times. Joseph also told us the story of one famous mummy named Djed. Unbelievable, I explained some ancient relics from China in English. I think I should prepare sufficiently if we have chance to ROM again.

Good job, you improved a lot doubtlessly, congratulation!
