In preparation for the annual Summer Camp, I visited Daxi Fish Port in mid-July with the rest of the summer camp staff (Tina, Hunter, and Ta). We scouted the area to plan a route for the next visit.
Welcome! 歡迎光臨! Selamat datang! ยินดีต้อนรับ! Bienvenue! ようこそ! Välkomna! On this blog you can find a compilation of thoughts and stories from various international interns. Are you interested in working at the farm? Take a look at the daily lives of our current and past interns for a glimpse into the farm life~

Day Trip to Yilan! (pt. 1)
Hello~ it's Candy again.
On July 15th, Ta and I went exploring in Yilan. It was our day off and we spontaneously decided that we wanted to travel outside of the farm.
Tina, our supervisor and also dubbed our 'Taiwanese mom', suggested that we visit Lanyang Museum. It is a famous tourist destination in Toucheng with nationally recognized architecture. She gave us tickets and even got us a ride to the museum --about a 20-minute drive from the farm.
When we arrived at the museum we were already hungry (when are we not??) so we filled up at the gift store where they had many Asian snacks. YUM. They also serve lunch boxes at noon if you opt to eat lunch there.

Having dinner at Toucheng night market
July 28, 2018 - Ta
Hello, I'm back. I gonna tell you about my first time to go to Toucheng night market. I went there yesterday. Actually I did not mean to go there but my friend, Judy invited me , Candy and Lily to go with the kitchen team ( Judy work in kitchen so she is part of kitchen team) and Peisan (woman who work in the kitchen and I think she is the leader of kitchen team) drove us to night market. Before we went to night market , Peisan dropped us to supermarket because I told her that I wanted to buy hair conditioner. I bought a big pack of Karamujo and hair conditioner. I saw Lily bought milk which have pudding flavour and I wanna try it. Maybe next time I will buy it too >,<

Ta from Thailand
Helloooo ~ Sa-wad-dee-kaaaa~ I'm Ta from Thailand. This is my first time to writing a blog post because there is a typhoon outside so I have a lot of time to write... haha
When I first came to the farm, I was not sure if I could work and stay here for 6 weeks because I thought that most interns studied Agriculture or Tourism, but I study a major not related with the farm. Now that I have worked here for a week everything is more clear. I know what my work is and I know that there are many different tasks on the farm; there are many many parts, not just farming or managing the accommodation. For me, my work is to prepare for the summer camp!!! It sounds fun, isn't it??
