Backpacking to Yilan alone

     It is my first experience of travelling alone in a strange place. I have planned this travelling for a month. My friend, JiaYi had told me that Couchsurfing is a nice chance which can save more money on travelling. I thought the idea is good and decided planning my trip after that. I choose Yilan for my first backpacking location. I had searched host on http://www.couchsurfing.org/ . Finally, JoPing be my host in two days.

     My host had arranged schedule for me which contains the spots that i want to visit. She had much experience of hosting, which was why i chose her to be my host.

     In this backpacking, I had cycled around JiaoXi and TouCheng. Frankly speaking, it was strange for me because i had never cycled for a long time. Thus, when we cycled on busy road, I scared there. I worried that i will crash vehicles which around me. That is unforgettable experience i never having before.

     I felt relax when i reach TouCheng beach. Fortunately, the weather was nice during my stay in Yilan so that i could enjoy my fun trip. Besides, i had tasted a lots of food which i researched before. On the second day, JoPing had fetched me visited tangerine farm（金棗果園）and tasted tangerine which is one of the famous products in Yilan.

     Backpacking is a chance that test our independence. I like this experience because i had recognized more and more Taiwan by myself. There were a lots of task in this backpacking, especially when i wanted to returned to school from Taipei Bus Station. All of my friends praised for my braveness when i told them this experience. They shocked and envied my backpacking. You can challenge this chance when you are still young as well. Don't afraid, try it!

   
 

Movie sharing 《不老騎士-歐兜邁環台日記》

     Today, my friends and i had decided watching a movie called  《不老騎士-歐兜邁環台日記》.It is a documentary which recorded a trip around Taiwan by motorcycles. In the movie, there were 17 senior citizen whose average age is 81 years old! Such a high age and i admired their spirit. They had surrounded their trip together by riding motorcycle for 13 days.

     Although all of them already over 80 years old, they still persisted their dream to travel around Taiwan and forget their actual age in 13 days. One of the old man brought his wife's photo who had passed away along the trip. He said that he had promised her to travel again if he can live until 80 years old. He had achieved and accomplished his promise. It was touching story and made me crying in theater.

     In the trip, there was a leader called Qing-yan Lai. He had suffer gastric ulcer before he start the trip. He thought he had fully recovered but his son still didn't allow him to go on the dangerous trip. At last, he successfully convinced his son. Unfortunately, he felt uncomfortable on third day of the trip and his gastric had bled again. He was nerve wracking and felt pain continuously until brought into hospital. He felt shame and sorry to his team mate. He tried his best and rejoined his mate after finishing inject blood into his gastric. He concerned his mate by optimistic mind in order to encourage them keep energy and determination.

     I strongly recommended this movie to all of you. You will associate your grandparents by their mind and dream. I thought my grandparents have a dream themselves even same like those senior citizen or others. Anyway, I will introspect myself and keep optimistic mind in my life.
