❥ 爱上了☺ 台湾 ❦

观音似箭，我在花莲可满一个月了！

在这里的生活一段日子了，日久生情，我爱上了这么美丽的一个岛，台湾。

虽然在这短短的一个月，我去过了台北、台南、新竹，还有生活在花莲。

习惯了花莲的悠闲生活，赶不上了台北人走路的步伐。

每一次去台北，我的心情也紧逼了起来。

不过也好，让我见识到不一样的生活方式，这就是我出国来台湾的原因之一。

这一个月，我不知道家里发生什么芝麻小事，我只知道我很会利用时间到处旅游。

每当我上网，我都很想记载我每一天做过了什么、去了哪里，但都有心无力，因为不是忙，就是累！

好呗，今天我有点闲，就让我回忆一下我的旅程，跟大家分享吧！

七月的第一个周末：

6.7.2012-7.7.2012

我们都在花莲市走走，什么都没买到，只买了一双我穿不下的布鞋，可怜吗？

（现在回想起来，还很后悔没跟他拼了，应该买啊！）

15.7.2012-16.7.2012

14.7.2012：谢谢他们把我们载到花莲市的自强夜市，都是吃得饱饱的。之后，我们还到远熊悦来大饭店看夜景呢，很难忘的一个晚上，因为有你们！

15.7.2012： 我们搭了台湾好行一日卷，参观了太鲁阁国家公园。（第一站：砂卡当步道-布洛灣-天祥-綠水-長春祠）

p/s: 今天是她的生日，我愿祝你：生日快乐，青春美丽，天天开心~

✎ 一顿简单的团圆饭，换来了我们的欢笑！

✎ 曾经的同一屋檐下，中山堂的楼梯下

✎ 卧轨，感觉怎么样？

✎ 草丛都走过了，害怕什么？

✎ 团结就是力量！

✎ 最后一张，万荣工作站大合照！

✎ 爆笑全场，太好笑了！

✎ 开心的日子，过得特别快！

✎ 我又回到了这一个在水一方~

✎ 溪边的女孩~

✎ 好朋友，不只是朋友，也是一辈子的好友。

✎ 晒晒太阳~

✎ 嘢！拍照咯~

✎ 笑得灿烂，才是最天真的陪伴！

✎ 爱，一直存在！

✎ 最爱这个感觉了！

人总有悲欢离合，今日离别后，何日君再来？

我不知道我的存在价值在不在，但我从不觉得可悲，

因为我讲究的不是我要多厉害，我只要我的存在是你们的自在。

我希望，我在林田山的整个七月，是有价值的。

我希望，我的伙伴们看得到我的用心。

我不需要人家的认同，但我需要大家的谅解。

我是一个非常直接的人，我不爱演戏，我只爱-和平！

欢迎八月的到来，更期待九月的快来！

有时候，我很羡慕台湾人，因为大家都是汉人，用同样的语言沟通，很有亲切感。

但是，我又得谢谢马来西亚，因为是它，我才有多语言的沟通能力，

人~就是那么的贪，不会知足，就不会幸福了，

你~知道了吗？ツ 

中外語交流：星期五之樂

部落格的讀者們！我們又回到了星期三，更新部落格時間，讓我們看看不一樣的世界！

Hello my dear readers! We are back to Wednesday, again. It's time to update our blog, let's watch the different world!

過了颱風假，猛烈的太陽公公又起床了！
大大的太陽，就好像志工老師用心的體諒，把我們一整天的課程排得滿滿的，很充實的能量！

After typhoon off day, the hot hot sun was coming out again.
The hot sun, just likes the intention of our teachers, who arranged a whole day activities and classes for us. Just great!

這一天早上，美玲老師和龍老師帶我們去池南森林遊樂園園區走一趟，一路上幫我們講解動、植物，例如蛙類、油桐及櫻樹。


This morning, Ms Mei Ling and Ms Long brought us to visit around the Chih Nan Forest Recreation Center. Along the road, they explained to us about the animals and plants, such as species of frogs, Tong oil trees and also Sakura trees.

之後，我們就跟著芯縈姐去步道巡山。我們從中學到了一些巡山要做的事情，例如照相倒樹、呈交上去給林務局，再請工作人員砍掉及清理環境。


After that, we followed Ms Xin Ying to walk along the trails. From there, we learnt about the procedures to complete the job of patrolling the mountain, such as capture the collapse trees, hand in to forest bureau office and request the staff to cut it off and clear the surrounding area.

* 从山上仰望的天空，果然不一样 *

* 蓝白的天空，有如无忧无虑童年的回忆 *

*不要笑我的-欧巴桑样貌哦！*

*美丽的天空，就像美丽的心情*

很累的總於回到了舒服的辦公室！
最幸福的是我們的老師都幫我們準備了午餐，就很溫暖啊！

It's very tiring and finally we could back to the comfortable zone-our office!
The most wonderful thing is that our teachers helped us to prepare our lunch, it's touching!

感恩，這一切都是我們的福，就是緣分把我們牽在一起，就是有你們，我們才有媽媽的味道，謝謝你們！

Appreciate, all of these are our luck, it's all because of fate, we gather together, because of you, we have found the feeling of mothers, thank you!

*  美玲老师的绿豆汤，龙老师的粽子*

#幸福的小孩，那些有老师关照的日子#

午餐後，美玲老師讓我們在辦公室上課，讓我們大開眼界，見識到了動物及昆蟲，例如蝴蝶類、昆蟲類、螳螂類等等。

After lunch, Ms Mei Ling arranged a class in office for us. We were really widen our wisdom by seeing the animals and insects, such as species of butterflies, species of insects and species of mantis.

看完了美玲老師拍下的私人珍藏，我真的太羨慕了，被打動到很想為自己也收藏一系列的簡報！

After observing the photo albums collected by Ms Mei Ling, I did really admire. I was really being touched and wish to create my own photo albums too!

這一天，我領悟到了，當志工，最關鍵的是：自願！

On this day, I realized that, as a volunteer, the most important key point is: voluntary!

志工老師，個個都看起來很忙，自己的私人時間，一天裡幾乎等於2/3天，但是，試問一下，為甚麼志工老師臉上都只有笑容，沒有疲憊？

Volunteer teachers, they look very busy everyday, until their private free time in one day approximates 2/3 day. However, ask yourself, why our teachers smile all the times, without tiring expression?

年輕的夥伴們，我們摸著良心，問問自己，我們的心有志工老師般的年輕嗎？會不會慚愧？

Oh my dear youngster, let's touch on our heart, and ask ourselves, is our mind as young as our teachers? Will we feel guilty?

接下來，0807，2012
貓頭鷹老師就帶著我們，到生態池去認識蜻蜓。

Ms owl(a cute name of one of our teachers) brought us to the egological pond to recognize the dragonfly.

好動、活潑的我們，當然抓緊機會到園區步道-森林浴步道走一走，呼吸新鮮空氣！

We were to active to move around the park, so we did catch up this opportunity to walk to the trail, called forest trail and take a fresh breath!

之後，我們就隨著老師幫忙服務遊客導覽！

After that, we followed this teacher to provide service as an interpreter.

學習了一個早上，我們下午就有機會表現啦！

After learnt about interpreting, it's our time to present to tourists!

為這位對木頭極有興趣的小弟弟講解，是我在池南服務解說的第一次，很棒！
謝謝老師給我們的鼓勵，我們的勇氣是因你而發的！

Observing the interest of this little brother about the timber, I tried to introduce and explain the function of the timber to him. This was the first time I serve as an interpreter in here. That's just awesome!
Thanks to our teacher, because of you, we have the courage to stand out to present the function of timber.

* 志工就是由服務開始，解說導覽就是我們實習的開始！*

今天，0808，2012
願祝台灣的爸爸們父親節快樂！
早上，就幫忙貓頭鷹老師翻譯手卡，就是關於池南國家森林遊樂園區的英文解說手卡！
看一看！這就是我們的傑作喔！

First of all, wish all the fathers in Taiwan a happy father day!
This morning, we helped Ms Owl to translate the hand note about the Chih Nan Forest Recreation Center from Chinese to English.

Have a look on this! :)

今日之感想：
盡管再燦爛的花，也會有枯萎的時候，
盡管再輝煌的人，也會有低潮的時候，
人嘛~心何不保持年輕？
就算外面風雨有多大，就算外面太陽有多曬，日子一樣會過去，明知道地球不會因為你而停止自轉，那何嘗換個角度去面對一切的一切？



堅持相信，這一切都是上天最好的安排，就會找到煩惱的出口，就會發生人生其實很美好，奇妙的是：明天會更好！

Today's input:
No matter how glitter the flowers, it will also come to wilt,
No matter how glorious the man, it will also come to low tide.
As a human beings, why not keep our heart be young?
No matter how strong thr trials and hardships outside, no matter how hot the sun outside, days pass day by day. As we know our earth wont't stop rotating because of us, why not we change a point of view to face everythings?
Let's believe this, everything happened for a reason, everything will be the best arrangement of God, then we could able to get the exit for annoyance, and we will realized that our life is beautiful one, the miracle is: better tomorrow!

A different hiking

First preparations on the evening before, on July 24^thwith Chun Yu Liao : my translator and my friend . Of course, we had to check if we didn’t forget the most important stuff : the sleeping bag, light, dry clothes, rains clothes, and all of that wrapped in plastic bag to keep it dry .

Liao works at the Lintian forest office for one years, because he does his military service here. But he speaks very well English as soon as I arrived in office on the begining of July, he helped me . It’s why he came with me during these two days, it’s great because I do like to get along with him .

So, we are now on the 25^th, 10 am,  waiting for Mr Fang, MrHoo, the man called Luckyand other staff members to go to the Silin forest . Almost all of them are aborigines, who do have lots of knowledge about forest, its fauna and flora .These guys have the mission to check if nobody logging wood illegally  in forest . Indeed, Silin forest belongs to National forestry bureau, that make this area protected . They will have a four-days trip, but, Liao and I will just stay one day and one night, and then we  come back with one of them .

It took us about one hour by car to reach the start point. As soon as we got there, we decided to eat before we leave. I get one typical Taiwan lunch box they brought for us, and then my stomach was such full that I didn’t know if I would be able to move on .

But all good things came to an end, and we started to hike in the forest, while our driver went back to the office. Quickly, we came to the end of the so-called way, and aborigine staff membersstarted to create a new road through wild grasses, using machete. However, they assured us that they know the right way from their heart , so we just followed themand admiredlandscape. Indeed, weather forecast announced big rain, but we were lucky, and sky wasclear. We could see valleys and others mountains, surrounded by clouds which wasbeautiful.

We finally came to an old road that used to be taken by people for the deforestation. This is now covered by grass and plant but we could see some road signs that show us there was a road here before. Then we had to walk for one hours left on this way, through streams, mud and plant . After a while, we decided to have a break for few minutes, and it was a good opportunity for me to discover several leeches on my pants and on my shoes . For me, it was the first time I’m dealing with this kind of animals, because now in France, almost all leeches have disappeared. But they explainedto me that it wasno dangerous, so I played with, as a child, putting them in my arms, feeding with my own blood, until they became full and wentaway ! But there was a thing I didn’t know : to suck our blood, their saliva contains one element that prevent blood coagulate . So, even if leeches weren’t on myarm sucking me anymore, I kept onblooding !

Here, therewere 20 minutes left before we reached our final destination .While walking , we heard the sound of chirping. It was really weird . I guessed that they made this chirping with their wings, because I know in France a kind of insect that make a sound like that use their wings in unity. This sound become more and more noisy for 7 or 8 seconds, then it stop for one or two seconds. And it begins again and again …

At last we reached the refuge, Liao and I were unpleasantly surprised to discover the poor conditions of this . Indeed, there were a lot of trash in the house, that might be left by last people who came here . Furthermore, several part of the refuge were broken . But it didn’t fear us, and we immediately made ourselves work . We hanged out a tarpaulin above our bed, to protect us from rain, because the roof wasn’t waterproof . We were right, because during the night, it rained cats and dogs !!! We also had to clean up the house, brought back water from the stream close to the refuge, washed cooking tools left here, found wood to light fire to warm up ourselves .Indeed, here, it was the first time I felt cold in Taiwan ! Fortunately, I brought warm clothes for this trip . As soon as it was done, we started to cook noodles and vegetables we had in our bags . We even ate sausages and pig ‘s skin cooked with the fire we lit . Even in the forest, it’s important to have a good meal !!!

 Liao and I talked for a while with others staff members and, doing that, I learnt a lot about aborigine’s culture . More than in one month I spent in Taiwan .

But, the sleep time arrived earlier than I thought, and even if the so-called beds weren’t comfortable at all, I slept wellin theend .

On the morning we got up at 6am . We cooked rice and vegetable for the breakfast, and they used it for their lunch too! But we didn’t eat the lunch with them because we had to come back. But before we left each other, we followed them for one half hour to see a bamboo forest . And that was really beautiful, I had never seen something like that before. But we couldn’t linger for hours, because, one car waited for us at 11am, at the same place where we started the day before. Going back, the aborigine staff members who came with us showed us a kind of vegetable that only grow in mountains . So, he explained us how to recognize it and where we can find it ( I mean close to a specific kind of plant for example ) . I picked up this vegetable and I cooked it for others volunteers who stayed at the office . Furthermore, I discovered what wasabi plant look like .

To conclude, I just want to say I’m very happy . So I want to thank the Wanrong Office staff members and the director who let me have this experience . It was a great experience, I learnt a lot . I had good teachers, aborigines staff members, who knew the dangers of the forest, and how to go through .

Hiking for few days, to my mind, is another way to discover Taiwan, and it’s maybe the only way to beawareofthebiodiversityofTaiwan.
