I'm back!!!! haha i was already back in s'pore 5 days ago but was lazy to update hehe.
Just like what wenjuan and weneng blogged about, im too lazy to blog about 23 days of travelling around taiwan. And as there are 11GB of photos, I will only post some :)
All in all, this trip was a fruitful one and truly expanded our horizons. We better appreciated nature: the mountains, the seas, the skies, etc. It really left me awe-struck at God's wonderful creation and His majesty. Thank God for letting us see such magnificent sights. Thank God so much for watching over our health and safety throughout this trip, for harmony among 4 of us, for everything! :) Even though we lived on little sleep daily, we still had good health and none of us fell sick. Its amazing because I thought we would surely fall sick seeing how we had to leave early in the morning, and reach home late at night. It was truly exhausting.
We learnt to do household chores, the most we have ever done in our 18/19 years :P We also learnt how to be independent ^^ Although some of us miss home, we were still able to enjoy each other's company and live harmoniously with one another throughout these 24 days :DD In my opinion, this is not an easy feat as all of us have different needs and different personalities, and conflicts are unavoidable. Though we have had minor conflicts, we were able to resolve them peacefully and move on :)
We were also inspired by the healthy lifestyles that the Taiwanese lead, and their efforts to save the Earth. For example, wenjuan's uncle and aunty would wake up early in the morning at 5am to take morning walks, and the distance they walk is long! [I think it is around 3-4km] All the households we lived in had 2 different bins: one for normal waste and another for recyclable waste. Whenever the garbage truck came along (with music playing), they would then throw their garbage into the respective compartments. Public places have 4-5 different bins for different waste. Also, all shops do not put the items purchased in plastic bags unless we exceed a certain purchase sum, if not we have to pay for them. This means that we have to bring our own recycling bag. I think Singapore should step up efforts in conserving the environment, though there are already improvements :)
On our part, we are more enthusiastic in exercising now, and I have decided to buy wastebins to categorise my family's garbage :D
Afterthought by all of us: We better appreciated our parents after this trip! haha :P
