7/9 

  Sitting in the bus, looking out of the window, listening to leisure music, thinking of what we did the previous days, I smiled.

  Yesterday morning, we woke up early(6:00) to have bird watching, two narrator lead us to several place to observe. Although they try to explain and introduce the species and character of the bird, but I could barely understand; and although everyone had a binocular, we could barely see the bird. Therefore, I probably only see one clear image of one kind of bird, White-eared Sibia, it’s quite disappointed…….

After breakfast, those two narrators took us around the Meifeng farm. There are so many bazar and peculiar plants in the greenhouse, some have special smell, other have unique color, still other have peculiar appearance. I was totally amazed by so many kind of plants. After launch, we had a really special lecture, Table waste composting and organic vegetable. The speaker is a foreigner who came from Québec ,Canada, and I’ve heard that he already live in Taiwan for over 30years, no wonder his Chinese is so good, even better then his French accent English! He mainly talk about how he created a organic farm using “puwn” for fertilizer. I think everybody think “puwn”(left over) is stinky, useless and disgusting, but it actually can become a perfect fertilizer. It is natural, nontoxic and doesn’t kill the bacteria in the soil.

 Next, we start to make our own spinach , beet and fruit juice, I actually don’t like the taste of the beet, it’s weird! At night, we went to the greenhouse again to observe insects, I was so amazed by the mimicry of insect when the teacher let find the insect in the pictures. But I was more interested in the Introduction of Saideke tribe and hunting traps, two aborigines show us the clothes let us try it up, then took us to see their traps for hunting. I was so impressed by the wisdom of the aborigine, they used some simple tool(wood, bamboo, rope, stone), combine them together and form a simple physical balance.

 Next, we made Chinese ban, actually I don’t really like beet and Chinese ban, but it’s quite fun to knead the dough. Then we went to the tomato garden to pick “two” tomatoes, yeah~ just two! Due to the delay season of fruit. But I think it’s because there’s only two, so precious that it seems to taste sweeter and more delicious.

After that, we went to Shueili wood utilization center, when I first opened the door and step in our rom , I was totally amazed and touched by the beauty of sun set! Almost every one shouted out. At night, we play the Rubin lock. It’s really interesting! But I was disappointed that my senior speak poor English that I could barely understand. But anyway, we still had a good time competing with each other, but Vico defeated me, what a pity.

The next day, we still stay in Shueili, my senior show us around the utilization Center, which I might come here in sophomore. The master showed us how to saw a log, sanding, honing saw and other utilize process. And for the rest for the time, we made Tissue box DIY, it’s interesting but little dreary~
