Sitou & back to NTU

A typhoon is coming when the first day we arrived at Sitou experimental forest, so we just stayed at the building, chatting, playing, singing, and dancing. In the middle of the night, the electric power was failure suddenly when everybody was sleeping, and the second day we just stayed in the building again, but the difference is that we all in the dark until dinner time.

After typhoon there are a lot of twigs and leaves on the ground

The third day my group, including me, Steven, Kevin, Vico, and Yengie, went to find our simple area which should near stream and without artificial interference, and we found that luckily! We measured the length of the area and collected some plants grow on the land and tried to identify them by ourselves. Unfortunately, there was a heavy rain and almost everybody became wet totally.

We worked in the heavy rain!

The last day morning in Sitou we went to record the plant species, air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature, and some useful information which may influence the distribution of plants. After lunch we stayed at the building and analyzed the information we got.

After we went back to Taipei, we tried to seeding transplanting at the NTU farm. I thought it’s very interesting and funny though that day was sunny and hot. We also visited Taipei zoo and saw a lot of different animals, we even entered the area which should only for the stuff and saw some special reptiles and birds!

In Taipei zoo, everybody wanted to ride the panda...XD

At the last day of the program, we had a final presentation, a closing ceremony and a banquet. At the presentation, I thought I’m a little nervous and didn’t perform well… but my team members were great and helped me a lot :). The last night we even went to KTV and sang a lot of songs which including different languages and had fun! I thought I will not forget this impressive summer and all funny and crazy things we did in this country.
