i juz want to speak: Taiwan Exchange Trip Part 9.2

Took the night train to 台东 to look for our friends on the 2nd night!

We had initiatally rented a big car to bring us around on the 3rd day. However, it just kept pouring throughout the whole day and our plans were disrupted!! I thought it was really a pity that we couldn visit many places in 台东!

Therefore, we stayed in my friend's home and experience the life of a farmer! We accompany his grandmother to the sugarcane plantations!

We worked really hard and we got our hands dirty!

And finally, we tasted the sweet sugarcane juice. It was the first time my korean friend drank sugarcane juice!!!! He thinks that it's nice too! He should pay a visit to Singapore. We have sugarcane juice EVERYWHERE!!!

I talked to my friend's Ah Gong while the others continued to work hard. I love talking to the elderly and listen to their life stories. It was also a good time to polish up my Hokkien too!!

After working hard in the afternoon, my friend's grandparents cooked a spread for us!!!

It had been a long time since we all had home cooked food!!

Woke up at 6am in the morning the next day because we wanted to make use of the time to visit other places in the southern part of Taiwan! It was so nice of Ah Ma to make us breakfast before we left and Ah Gong for sending us to the bus station despite it being really early!!!

Ah Gong and Ah Ma are really really nice people!!!

Took a train and head to Kao Hsiung. We bought a train ticket which cost us only 599NT and we are able to take all the trains for unlimited times over a period of 5 days. However, we do not have any seats and we can only sit on the seats if there are available ones.

That is why we are in such a pitiful state!!
