Jiaxian: Tug of war.

This sport activity started to be popular after Typhoon Morakot. The city was cut off from the other districts while sad and grief atmosphere dominated all over this place. After 2009, some teachers came with rope and got kids pulling against each other to amuse them. That time, the kids in Jiaxian were really determined to win a first price in Taiwan ... and they did!

From that moment this sport have become the popular one. After my colleagues and production team came to visit me in Jiaxian we tried to participate in this activity with students of the local elementary school.

I am not sure If I did it before, but what I am sure this time we had so much fun. As first teacher of P.E. introduced us the proper way how to stand and lay back, where to hold the rope and how to pull. Some of us tried the training equipment in the beginning. One weight is 60 kg and normally it can be pulled by a children. Each of us (freshmen) barely pulled 50 kg. After training, my colleagues pulled against me with children. This sport (as usually most of sports) is obviously about the technique and know how (what kids got).

Because despite the lower average age, we won.

Certainly not my credit. Here is why.
