Second destination, new journey, new experience.
My second destination is Nan’ao Natural Farm (南澳自然田) in Nan’ao, Yilan city, Taiwan. On Tuesday morning, 09/04/2018 me and Mia, my Taiwanese partner arrived Nan’ao train station and because we were told that our destination is close to the station so we decided to walk there by ourselves.
And we really only have to walk around 3 minutes from the train station then we can be able to see the Farm’s sign.
Welcoming us is A Jiang Ge (阿江哥), the host of Nan’ao Nature Farm, he introduced us around, show us place to sleep and also introduced us about activities while we staying.
One special thing about the Nan'ao Natural Farm is it's located right in front of the railway, so that we can see trains coming and leaving everyday.
We also meet some young friends who are staying here when we arrived because Nan'ao Natural Farm is a Holiday Working Farm, so there will be many volunteers come staying and help working around as well as on the farm.
A Jiang Ge really know how to connect people and he helped us get rid of our first time meeting awkward.
"First job."
After all the introducing, we got our first job immediately, cooking. Because the Farm is for holiday worker, so the host will provide the supplies and we have to cook by ourselves and then eating together, lucky that i'm not so bad as cooking....
Our first humble lunch, not much, but the ingredients are all organic.
After lunch, we had a little time to rest and then A Jiang Ge called us for our second job, making sauce called Xiāngchūn gālí zhīmajiàng (香椿咖哩芝麻醬). It's a special sauce made by Xiāngchūn (香椿) leafs and other ingredients.
In the end of day, we just had small dinner and went to bed early because of our long trip to Nan'ao. But we did have some new and amazing experience for just the first day so we really expect for what will coming next throughout our stay for next 3 weeks.
