Taiwan Day 27

Date: 16/07/12
Venue: 花莲光复糖厂,太鲁阁 
woke up 4.30am and went to next door to wake Nav up~
Boa already get ready! =) went to Nick's room to wake him up as well*he still hiding in his blanket and has his own sweet dream 
So, 7 of  us (David, Nick, me, Boa, Nav, Vagiz and Etgar) went to cycle around the Sugar Factory, wanna check out the aboriginal around here...
The whole trail is going uphill,*my knee is extremely tired of cycling* the sun rise is beautiful as usual, is kinda different from the one in the beach.. Obviously, beach and paddy field/farm is totally a different story...
There is mini forest trail as well about 2850m and is like bushes and trees along the trail..(No animals)
But after that, we passed by a paddy field area which is empty but after saw the signboard only realize, it is a flower field... and opposite the field, there is aboriginal structure/erection, in  the middle of that structure, there is a plant... About 200m away, there is a field with painted woods and in the middle of those woods, still is a tree in it~~ third structure is made up of bamboo stick and is still a tree at the middle of the structure...LOL
Btw, those unique structures are just bside the information centre and you actually can get a wood piece to write down ur wishes on it and hang it on the rack infront of the centre...
 I checked on the scarecrowd as well, each scarecrowd is representing different aboriginal of Taiwan(阿美族,布农族) 
After spending about 30 min(is already 7.15am) over that area, we decided to go back because the post tour is around 9.00am (we had to get ready at 8am), Vagiz had to return the Mp3 to the aboriginal aunty before we go back.. Finally we met the aunty (温阿姨) when we are on the way back to hostel.. She is so kind and offered us to her house to stay and eat during our last week in Taiwan... She even shared her own experience with us, she told us to work hard for our future and wish we will be have a nice/bright/good performances in the future...

Post tour started and we checked out at 9am, Luckily the workers didn't charge us on the bikes this morning,... and after we had our breakfast then, we visit Zhung Hwa university~ the university is really huge, and surrounding is beautiful, in malaysia, you definitely can't find such a beautiful university~

After the university, we go to the Hualian city for our lunch... and walk around there~ Met YanShuo in the city*he still look serious DUH
I feel sorry to the shops where we just get in to try on the sample of food but without buy it~ HAHHAHHA
Some of them tried on the aboriginal wine as well*but i didn't.. The wine that they tried is already kept for 5 years..
we went to an ice shop to have some black sugar shaved ice~ I still prefer the mango shaved ice that i ate in Hualien few days ago~ But i like the combination of milk,black sugar, toufu, redbean... =)

After that we off to Taroko park(太鲁阁), spending two hours++ there and enjoying the surrounding and of course the greenish blue water... =) really regret for wearing a dress to hike, = = ... The color of water is really nice... Many of them played water and even swim in the water~ I just standing aside to watch them HAHHA but got some splash of water by Nick == Wynlim has a very epic expression when being dragged by Marcus to deeper area.. I am being warned by her, and I know, I will be the next to throw into the water..
Nick always get into my photo ARGHHHH
the greenish blue I love
I know, dun remind me, I gained weight~



The wet gang 
Some of them have to get back to the place because the schedule of their projects..
