Last week, I was busy in preparing my portfolio to apply graduate school, and also doing my graduate project. Many things mixed together, a lot of things are waiting for me to deal with. But because there is only limted time, I have to arrange it appropriately and do my best.

MAISON KAYSER



That's a bakery from France.
They sell delicious baguettes, croissants, etc.
Taiwan has the 11th branch of Asia.
You can find it at B2F in Breeze Center.

A friend recommended me this bakery before.

Go find it & try it!

Introduction

My name is Claire. I am a senior. My major is commercial design. I come from Taoyuan. I am living in Taoyuan too. I commute between Taipei and Taoyuan by scooter, buses and trains everyday. So I know the public transportation well. And There are six members in my family, parents, an older sister and two young brothers.

I like to see movies, listen to music, hang out with friends. I like comedies and mysteries. About music, I like pops and jazz music.

By the way, I used not to write articles on blogs, so I will try to do it better. I will try to update regularly.
