(29.06.2011) Day 35: Western food+A visit to Tai Zhung

Today, school has prepared a session for kids to have western food as lunch. Because the school is at village, so most of the kids never eat western food before. You will see the kids have excited faces when they are having their meal.
Happiness can be so simple.

Evening, have a visit to Tai Zhung again.

(28.06.2011) Day 34: A visit to tea manufacturing factory

Night, as usual have to go kids house for dinner. But, tonight have a little bit special, the student's family is manufacturing tea. They have their own tea farm, tea factory. Their house is a bit far from where I stay, around 30 minutes journey with the speed 110km/j.

Unfortunately I do not take any photo because I feel that is a little bit inappropriate. The student's mother has explained to me the whole process of making tea. From the tea leaves send back from farm until put in packet, it needs 2 days without stop the process. So they need 3 shift of workers. 

And, because of raining they stop making tea today, so I have no chance to involve in the process. =(













A gift from the parents. =)

(27.06.2011) Day 33: 6 classes a day!!!

@.@ Back from Taipei and go to the school as usual, according to time table I will be having six classes a day for consecutively 3 days!! Get ready to lost my voice soon!!!

Since is the last week for this semester, the kids getting free (they had finished their final exam last week), to make the class more fun, I have prepared to teach them how to play congkak.

豆浆油条


















This is the first time I take TRA.


















I reach Jiu Fen after around 1 and a half hours of travel journey.













The view from Jiu Fen.

Jiu Fen is one of the tourist attraction in Taipei County.
Since I need to go back to Tai Zhung before evening, so I could not spend too much time here.

Conclusion of the day - you need to have a good stamina if you plan to become a backpacker.

Tonight, have a good chat with one of the teacher in the school. And I will be overnight at her house.
