Day 2

Even's Group
Hey everyone! Well... first, I'd like to warn you, the reader, that this post may have some grammar or vocabulary mistakes, because english is not my mother language! sry xD!
And second, here is my post:
Today we "moved" from 台北(Taipei) to 宜蘭(I-Lan)and we visited 國立傳統藝術中心(National Center for Tradicional Arts) and 港邊社區(Wu-Wei Gang Eco-Community).
In 國立傳統藝術中心(National Center for Tradicional Arts), we learned a lot about Taiwan's past: the puppets, the temples, the origami, the buildings, etc. And we had a tradicional chinese/taiwanese lunch(can't tell the difference! sry Taiwan! xD).




In 港邊社區(Wu-Wei Gang Eco-Community), we interacted with a different Taiwan that we used to. Here, almost everyone lives a simple and easy life(being rude, a poor economically life), but they don't seem to be unhappy! In fact, they seem to be enjoying it! There is a saying that fits this: "窮有兩種,窮得消沉和窮得開朗。" ("There are 2 kind of poverty, Unhappy Poverty and Happy Poverty").




So in Day 2, we "smelt" two different Taiwan's 味道(Wei Tao): 以前ㄉ味道(Past's Wei Tao) and 簡單生活ㄉ味道(Simple-Life's Wei Tao).
