Culture Wonder

I joined in a project that called for people's help to rebuild the little country.We walked all around the country and try our best to find how we should do to help them.But,first,we visited many historic relics and also helped the residents do their farming.It was quite tired but fun!!

The hat,the headscarf,and the boots are what farmer wear at work in Taiwan.
To get the sticks we need for campfire,we went cut the tree by ourself!!Exciting!!!The four old residents who led us to secret relics and treated us with all their heart.It was so kind of the old man standing on the left that he offererd his house for us to stay!!

And,after two- days experience,my friends,me,and some college students decided to make a map for them.So,on the last day,we worked really hard to take some pictures and draw down the roads in order to make an tour map.It made me feel thilled that I could help the residents out with something I learned from school.During the afternoon,we took a car ride on the back of a truck!!And we hopped on and off the truck when there was almost a big pond per 9-10miles(There were totally 12 ponds we visited.)I think it was the toughest part of the project.

Well,the funniest time of the three-days event was sure the amazing food!!We went to eat the traditional noodles and had a bowl of refreshing dessert--icecream(not really cream but ice)with flower vinegar and fruits----YUMMY!!!!And we had some different dishes during each meal because the residents there had extremely different culture from us.We even had an interpreter all the way with us.This wonderful culture experience truly filled my summer with lots of unforgetable memories!!
