Summer Camp

Hey blog readers, I’m Cooper from Malaysia, and I will be holding intern position in Yilan Toucheng Leisure Farm for 6 months duration. Taiwan is having summer time now (Usually from June to August), and sometimes hurricane will hit the country at the summer time as well.

During summer time, most of the primary school here will held summer camp (夏令營) in the farm. Most of the activities such as sight-seeing, handcraft DIY, contact with nature and some culture exchange classes will be conduct in the farm as well.



Our Japanese instructor Ms. Zhu 珠姐, she is teaching the way of making teru teru (てるてる, 晴天娃娃). Teru teru is a traditional handmade doll from Japan. In legendary, teru teru are using for praying to get good weather or to stop the rain. If the dolls are hanging upside down, it means that praying for a rainy day.


Students are fastening the teru teru on a string and ready to hang outside.

Happy Sunny Day! =)
