Life in TLF

Start working! We should always wear rain boot while doing any gardening works due to the slush particularly in veggie farm and inside the plant nursery.

Making Lime Jam and Juice

Today we made some lime jam and juice. Just like most things i found it really fun because i had never done it before.

Seeded and juiced limes

Winter Camp

For the past week there have been kids here at the farm on a winter camp. They were city kids and got to experience things only possible in the country side like farm works and obstacle courses.
Id be lying if i said i had an awesome time, of course part of it was good, i got to experience something i have never done before, that being looking after pre-teen kids BUT they were so hyper and loud and tried to do everything that they were not meant to. Sometimes its as if I was talking to brick walls because they never listen =_______________=''' That was the most stressful part.....

O.O''

Today i saw my biggest nightmare.......Heights!!! =______='''

New Discovery

Due to my ignorance =_= I did not actually know what a kumquat was before coming to Toucheng Leisure Farm. I thought it was a mini orange when I first saw it. Then Hunter (one of the guides at the farm) taught me how to eat it. =D

Day in the Office =)

Today was a cold and rainy day which is perfect because i got to stay in the office =)

Friends from America!

Today in the late afternoon some students came to the farm from the USA =D I later learned they were here in Taiwan for 3 weeks on a study abroad program. It felt really relaxing speaking English again as I have tried my best to communicate with my colleagues with my broken Chinese for the past few days. Though it is a very good opportunity for me to improve my Chinese and I want to take full advantage of that opportunity.

Seeding!!

I got the opportunity to plant corn seeds!

                       Nutritious soil for the seeds

Welcome to my Office!! >=D

Here are some pictures of my office in Toucheng Leisure Farm where i will spend 6 weeks. I get the biggest, coolest office ever B) How many people do you know have mountains and rivers in their office? Not many if any.....

Why the hassle?

My first job in the farm was organic farming, weed control to be exact which i was super excited about because i love being in the great outdoors =D

First day in the farm =D

I had already been in Taiwan for nearly 2 months when I arrived on the farm. During those two months i had the time of my life travelling with friends to many places. Thankfully with the help of the friendly Taiwanese locals we never got lost and had hassle free trips =)
