Her name is Miky. She only has one eye. The owner of florist shop raise her in Hsin Tien. The owner does not care whether she is defect or not. The fact is that she is extremely cute and gentle. Even at the end of my visiting, she could follow my indication. I am so touched.
For completing this dream, I restarted getting in shape from May. This was the only thing I could do during the time. At the end of June, I was so lucky that I found out a group preparing for around Formosa. In July, I started practice riding bicycle. I changed my another facebook’s account from my nick name to Bubo Jack which means it will bring the success and luck for this journey. Athena gives Perseus her pet owl, mechanical counterpart, is called Bubo, to find out Gordon and succeed in killing her. Late July, we found out and decided where to stay for each night. I phoned about twenty hostels to confirm the accommodation. Finally, we succeed in arranging and solving whole the problems. In August 9, I got a severe cough. I hoped I can recover as soon as possible. I didn't want it to influence my dream. It's so terrible. In August 16, Valentine’s Day, we set up our journey.
Postscript: In the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans, the goddess Athena's pet owl, and its mechanical counterpart, is called Bubo, the name being inspired by the Latin name of the Eurasian Eagle-owl.

I become mortal at night because the sun does not shine at the time. I have a superpower which gives me a power to transform the sunshine into energy. This energy can supply energy to the machine, including cars, aircraft, robots and so on. I worked for a newspaper company. I was a columnist. I always comment on toys in the supplement. I got this power when I was a child. My father brought me to the Toy Castle, the most famous toy shop in the world. He would like to buy me a gift. I was addicted to the dynamic dragons, so we went to the area to pick out the toys. Unfortunately, we faced a huge earthquake. We were pinned under the wreckage. The building sank about three floors. A lot of crushed stone laid on our body; therefore, we could not move our bodies anymore. I felt so scared. My father comforted me, and he said if I kept crying, I would lose energy and die. I try to remain myself calm. However, my father lost his consciousness on the second day. Close to my face, there was a shaft of dim light which shone down. I stared the light and started praying. Suddenly, I heard some noise around me. Toys started operating. Some toys had light and the dark place lit by them. I could use my mind to control whole the toys. I commanded them to dig a hole to connect the ground. Finally, the crew of rescue team found the hole and assigned people to save my father and me. After that, I had a power to use the energy from the sun.
