大家好！
Week 4 in Taiwan was the week of our social study trip!! This was by far the most fun I’ve had all summer. I got to go to Nantou and Chiayi which were both so cool. My favorite part of the trip though was definitely Alishan! It was so great to be able to spend some time in nature after being in the city for so long.
The first two days were filled with kayaking, biking, and other fun activities. After sitting in class for five hours a day for the past three weeks it was so fun to be able to do a lot of sporty activities. The water at Sun Moon Lake is so clear and beautiful–I had so much fun being in the kayaks, swimming, and spending time on a boat with everyone.
On Alishan (Taiwan’s tallest mountain) we got to try Alishan’s famous black tea and coffee. Both were so good! I also got to eat a lot of indigenous food and learn about the indigenous culture in the more rural parts of Taiwan. We also got to see the sunrise (3:30 am wake up call!) which was absolutely amazing.
I had the best time on this trip! I can’t wait to show everyone back at school the amazing pictures of the sunrise and the beautiful nature on Alishan and at Sun Moon Lake.
下个星期见！
