Wonderful Taroko gorge
Saturday I went for a trip with one teacher from school Mass. He likes birdwatching do he took me to some places in Taroko andDwe saw about 10 different kinds of birds and also some huge spiders and wonderful butterflies.
Sunday I went to the farm of GongGong and spent theEqhole day there notTinly playing with her children.I was also helping her all day. We plowed the field and planted some grain. The work was very demanding as the field is on terraces. But the view there is beautiful. When I was planting the train I saw some people stopped and started taking pictures of.me. This was really weird so I came to them ad with my poor Chinese asked them to send me the at least the photos. Hope they will.
In the evening I went to Hualien with the family as I wanted to walk around Taroko on Monday. The weather was good, not too warm or cold and no rain so I enjoyed the walk. Unfortunately because if the typhoon last week most of the trails were closed. However I met an interesting dutch girl which is traveling the world now and the travel will take her 10 months total. I think she is very brave and wish her good luck on her travels. We spent the whole day together and walked 3 trails ( although two of them only half way).
Taroko is very beautiful, you can get a ticket for 250NTD in Hualien bus station and this will let you use the hop-on hop-off bus all day. Really worth visit, but better first check if they have some info online about the trails and their condition.
Now is Tuesday and I was again working on the farm today. We visited the school and I played basketball with children after school and we had dinner together. Children are soooo great. They don’t care if you understand or not, they keep talking and they just like you because you play with them a little. Its so wonderful to spend time with them.
I am a bit lazy to write as it is also difficult in my cellphone and I do not have Wi-Fi all the time. So sorry for all the mistakes…
