B9608019 Read Extension Richie-Tainan city

In Tainan, in the summer time


The beach so crowdedI walk with the crowd








In Tainan cityyou get your topioca milk tea from the vendor seat on the predestrian zone where people dress flip-flops.


Scenery is so wide, everywhere you turn It's there.


I sit and wonder "what am I doing here?"


But on the telephone line I am anyone I am anything I want to be.

I could be a fisherman or sales clerk

And you wouldn't know the difference

Or would you?

In Tainan city, all the people got ordinary names like Jack or Mary

And all hospitable too.

In Tainan city, on the boulevard,

You'll have to notice those stray dogs

Or they'll scrimble your food

I never felt so lonely,

Never felt so helpless.

I never wanted something like it


I could be a fisherman or sales clerk.


And you wouldn't know the difference


On the telephone line, I am any career

I am any person I want to be

I could be a caped crusader, or enchanting leader

And you wouldn't know the difference

Or would you?

Hello, I'm Rebecca.
My hometown is Tainan, too. I like Tainan. Tainan is a special city because there have many delicious foods and many historic spots also have good sceneries. I think you are right; Tainan’s people are very hospitable and passionate so I like to be with Tainan’s people. Tainan brings me a happy life; it may also bring you a happy life or more.
