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 >,<

Candy from Canada - Nice to Meet You!

Hello! My name is Candy and I'm from Vancouver, Canada.

For the next 6 weeks I will be staying at Toucheng Leisure Farm as an International Intern through AIESEC (a non-profit organization that sends young people abroad for volunteer and internships). I am ecstatic to share my experiences with you!

My new friend, Golden (the farm's beloved dog)

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??

An interesting internship

I'm Lynn from Malaysia and have my industrial training at TLF. It was a meaningful and a great experience at here.

What's up

I'm ShyLuang, an international student from Malaysia and currently studying at Taipei. I came here to TLF to spend my summer holiday, while, at the same time, experience some activities in the farm.

Hi~

It's a beautiful farm we have here.

Day 3

Day 3 in Toucheng Farm, Taiwan, Josh Treisman speaking.

The weather is sweltering, but the backdrop and farm is still as beautiful as ever. The jungle-like scenery is complemented by streams and valleys that make one feel as if they are in the wild jungles of Taiwan, but at the same time never too far from a friendly face or some home-cooked Taiwanese food.

The experience of making rice dumplings

As the dragon boat festival is approaching, we will make our own rice dumplings annually.  Dragon boat festival is the traditional festival of China. People would celebrate it with rowing the dragon boats, eating rice dumplings and etc. 

Seeding and Explore the Farm

We planted 4 kinds of seeds like pumpkin and chili pepper. In the morning, it drizzled and hibiscus was drenched with dew but it became sunny and hot in the afternoon.
I found some insect's nest and thought its bee's, however a farm staff, Sherin told me that it was ant's!!! So surprised because I knew ants make their nest only underground.
