青年築夢 - 單車壯遊台灣推廣活動

First of all, I would like to thank Wenzao Ursuline College of languages for the traveling and exploring cultural beauty opportunity given to the International Students through the 台江國家公園單車一日遊. Moreover, I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff’s from Wenzao Mountain Climbing Club who had put all their best efforts for the smoothness of the travelling activities.

We were introduced to this activity by Ray (林家慶). At first thought, it’ll be a great opportunity for us foreigners to fill up our summer vacation. And it ‘s absolutely true, we were having a good time. We also encouraged our new Indonesian students who just came to Taiwan for about few weeks before the trip, and still unable to speak Chinese at all. It is a good opportunity for them as a brief introduction to Taiwanese culture, and also their first step of adapting to Taiwanese life, which in my opinion, just amazing.

Even a few days before the trip, we were already really excited about it !
On D-Day, we left early in the morning, before the burning sun of Southern Taiwan started to sting deep through our skin molecules. The weather was quite fair, even though the sun finally showed his menace at noon, and it resulted to a more tanned skin of mine.

During the trip, we encountered some force majeur, such as loose bike parts, broken parts, and some participant accidentally slipped on the road. Luckily, the staff’s was really helpful and friendly during the progress of the whole trip, we didn’t bump into any serious problem that could break down the atmosphere, or worse, canceled it.

One of the best parts of the tour was, we were able to meet new people, whether it’s another Wenzao student, teacher, and even other foreigners. We made friends with some American exchange students. It is always great to meet new friends, especially when we are participating together on a fun event like this .

Even though we had to skip a program in the itinerary due to time limitation, it didn’t decrease the amount of fun that we had. Even with the fatigue, the joy of riding and exploring the cultural uniqueness of Taiwan is still, absolutely priceless.

We hope that similar activities could be conducted in the future, with more improvements and hopefully, with a larger scale and area. Not only it’ll be a further step for promoting health and the importance of sport, it’ll also be a big leap for the harmony between foreign students and local Taiwanese students. Since the cultural exchange team is recently promoted continuously by the Taiwanese government, this kind of activities could act as a facilitator of the exchange process to happen.
