Every Day Is A New Day!

Hi! Guys.
Every day is a new day for me here in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA.
Eau Claire is a place I know nothing about before I came to America. Actually I just know a little about American culture and some big cities from textbooks or movies. This small green peaceful town really gives me a new view to know more about Amrican people and their life.
I would like to share my exciting experience here everyday with you. you will find every day is a new day!


July 9th, we went to the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in Chippewa Falls. The fair aims to "improve agriculture, horticulture and the mechanical and household arts." I was told the fair is a big gathering for people around to have fun together:concert, all kinds of delicious food and games. One of them attracts me to have a try: chesse curd. I know Wisconsin is famous for chesse and chesse curd is a typical snack people here are mad about it.

I find a song about chesse curd. "The New York Times in 1911 reported on an ancient Celtic song, dating from the 12th century, that mentioned cheese curd, perhaps the first musical reference to the most musical of cheeses:

Visions of MacGonlannee"
Stately and pleasantly it sat,
A compact house and strong.
Then I went in:
The door of it was hung beef,
The threshold was dry bread,
Cheese-curds the walls.

Another thing I am interested in most is the homemade goods exhibition. Self-sufficient farming families display their horticultural skills in prize pies, breads, canned goods, and their handcrafts. they are really attractive and beautiful.

It is the first time for me to go so close to cow and to touch them and see how they are milked. And the pig auction is really rare for me to know. I almost can understand nothing about what thay are talking. But it's interesting to find something new.
