This thread is as 'lonely' as me.8D . Enthusiasm is kept for a short time. The feeling of novelty comes soon, yet goes quick. It is life, isn't it? There is a long long way for MF to go internationalized. This thread is one of planes resting on the Aircraft Carrier,i.e, MF:D. Its wings await soaring in the sky. Its engine has some new rusts. :o)

MF should have a base oversea before it can internationalized.

By the way, if it's just positioned to be a "non-commercial" website, how could it be internationalized? only for and by enthusiasm?

If finally it's owner accept to be a commercial website, in a week there will be someone like to be its agents.

I seriously agree with most of your opinions if not 100%.
I think to keep it from commercialization is one of the worst decisions the owners of this site made.

Probably need more real and consistent activities to make it more active. Otherwise it'll turn into an English corner at best.

Agree! Propose mutual development between consistent activities and articles with pictures, learning from the mode of MF@SZ. However,it is hard to initiate, for communication habit of language is a barricade. Let's hope for the better. :)

Let's organize something so as to activate this place. Maybe I should apply to become a Banzhu here.

I can imagine that in the begining there won't be many people attending our activities. But if we make our best efforts, there will be some day this place become a vivid place attracting more and more highly educated, openminded, English spoken "donkeys".:D

I'm close to Mount LianHua so I do some short hiking quite often. Perhaps we could also go to bars or restaurants for some FB activities.

suggest u may bring this link to other website, like lonelyplanet, virtualtourist, etc., so that u may have some English speaking person to post here. To avoid it turn into an English Corner eventually.

Yes, I also agree we'd better have some English speaking person to join this board.
Of course, we still need some time and be patient.

Avatar
TravelMate OP 2005-05-27 02:22

Thanks for your suggestion.
I think we can do everything the donkeys do, such as camping, mount-climbing, swimming, long distance walking, either FB or ZN.
We don't even need a native E-speaker. The only rule for us is trying your best to speak only in English. If you can't that's ok.
I hope this place can be where our English lovers get together. I don't think it can be some place attracts a lot of foreigners.

Let's go hiking!

Avatar
TravelMate OP 2005-06-06 04:49

Ok, guys. Just come back from the one-week trip to Taipei. It's time for us to organize the first gethering.

To plan the first La Mo activity, I'd like to know more about potential participants. Let's introduce ourselves in the following form:

Nick/Gender/age/Hobbies/Preferred activity/Prefeered time for the activity/One short statement describing yourself

Travelmate / 30's / travelling, hiking, swimming / one night camping and game party / the coming weekend or the following one / I'm an openminded person who likes to experience more on this wonderful world

I'll try to figure out if we can arrange something in the near future.

Unless it's in English class, I think it'll be quite awkward for us to try to speak English when we share a perfectly good Chinese language. However, it'll be good for us to get together because at least we share a common interest in English in addition to LaMou. I'll try to join you but I won't be free this Sunday. Since there are not a lot of traffic in this thread, to jump start, may I suggest we do Mount LianHua this Thursday or Friday and then to bars? Or we can simply go for dinner this Thursday or Friday. Just to get to know each other.

TravelMate OP 2005-06-10 01:30

Good! Seems Saturday is a better choice. Unfortunately I have to work for half day. But let's arrange something in the afternoon. Would you guys like to go for just a dinner or more activities?

I shall advice Yaoji about this change.

Avatar
TravelMate OP 2005-06-10 02:38

It's not easy to get everybody here. There always somebody not available.
As tomorrow is Duan Wu and many people have already got arrangement, Moon suggest us move the activity to Sunday.

I'll be free Sunday after 6pm. A dinner is more likely the arrangement. Does everyone support this?

遛弯的虫子 TravelMate 2005-06-10 04:31

Go for dinner. :P Please tell me the restaurant's name and its location once confirmed. I will bring my climbing partners if they are free.
Probably you may send short message to check if other persons who are active in this thread such as "金露“,”逃之夭夭“, even the most beautiful Lao P, 西边雨 will be available to join us or not. ---A Spam! A junk idea. You may neglect it. :D
