Xitou & Suli typhoon

2013.07.12

We had a guide trip in Phoenix Tea Garden. It is pity that we missed the blossom season of Phoenix Tea Garden. According to the guide, the blossom season is February. Camellia and cherry blossom are dominate species. We saw camellia there. There was only one camellia tree with flower. 

I love the lecture about arts of brewing tea. My family like drinking tea, and we usually drink tea in the afternoon. So I am quite familiar with brewing tea. I brewed tea for my group. I enjoy brewing tea more than drinking tea. That is because I always feel thirst when I drink tea.

We went to bamboola Taiwan in the afternoon. I think it was a little bit boring. 

The works made by the owner of Bamboola Taiwan are amazing.

The owner of bamboola Taiwan was showing us his works.

We lived in Xitou that night. According to Jack, typhoon may result in heavy rain and strong wind in Xitou. Someone were exciting, as they never see typhoon before.

It was a free day. We can only stay in the building because of Suli typhoon. A tree fell down and blocked the way. I got up late and spent the whole morning chatting with others. We only had fried noodle for lunch due to Suli typhoon. 

We started our project in the afternoon. Rain stopped at 4.00. I looked around with Steven after dinner. There were branches and leaves everywhere on the floor. The stream discharge was very high. There was water in the ground.
