Posted by tracey at 6:37 PM | Thursday, January 7, 2010 It's 2010 already. so fast...
my new year this year was really special. on 31st Dec, there was a farewell dinner with the principal and teachers for an ming.  that's an ming, me and principal pan. that's my certificate!  after the dinner went out with huifen, tiezhen and an ming around the city area in hualien.  saw this tribal dance performance by the ah mei tribe in taiwan. there are 14 tribes in taiwan and this is just one of them. if you notice, the guys in front are half naked.. like omg it's winter in taiwan... o.o head down to ruisui to jixiang villa for a night. didnt really take a photo of that place other than the open air hotspring that comes with each room. it's awesome cause you can soak anytime and for as long as you like! and my skin was really smooth after that. and because it's new year there were fireworks. basically 31st dec went by with me soaking in the hotspring. hehe  1/1/10 had buffet breakfast and went back to soak in the hotspring again! haha then had to check out and make our way to kaohsiung, huifen's hometown. on our way we saw this straw exhibition. 
  and this is the first prize.. some more...       this is an interesting one because there's a story behind it. During the era of the Three Kingdoms (3rd Century CE) there lived a man named Meng Sung, also known as [Meng] Chien-wu (6). He had lost his father during his childhood. When his mother was old and sick she craved fresh bamboo-shoots even though it was winter. Sung had no idea how he could get them. In desperation, he went into a bamboo grove, clasped a bamboo stem and broke into tears. His filial devotion moved heaven and earth and they forced the earth to crack open. Numerous shoots of bamboo came out. Meng Sung carried them home and made them into a soup for his mother. As soon as she ate it, she felt much better. okay that's about all for the straw exhibition along the road side.. will continue more about my trip in kaohsiung next time.
