The 16th day, rainy

I don' know what to write about the things happened today, I wished it would be as fine as usual, but it seems not.

Half hour's trip took us from MeiFeng Farm to Chunyang Subfarm, then the lecture began. Though not as interesting as usual, it was not that kind of bad. We tried the pepper the professor provided us, it was soooooooo spicy~! But tasted like lemon at first, and it existed in one of the dishes of lunch today.

The suddenly tain stoped us from harvesting tomatoes,nearly ten days' sunshine gave us enough reasons to leave our umbrellas inside of the luggage. Luckily the farm offered each of us a raincoat and enabled the activity to go on smoothly. The golden tomatos looked like yellow lanterns and we were allowed to fill one box each. Decision was always difficult but we have to. Finally nearly everyone got what him or her want and left for the next stop.

After more than two hours' drive, we arrived at the wooden factory.

Then came what I will never forget.

Maybe it was about the gap between different cultures, but the so-called "common words" still hurted me a lot. Though regarded it somthing meaningless and kind of shame when I was told feel free to ask anyone about the words, I did ask some local students about the words hurted me in the end, and the answer was different from the explanation. When was asked if I want to go back home now, I just said yes, definitely. It's hard to believe that those were the exactly words came from a senior clark who has already run this program successfully for 3 years, but it did happened. Especially at the moment when I suffered a cold and otitis media, in this brand new area, I missed my family and friends a lot. When stood at the flat between two floors with my luggage and endured the suddenly silence and the stares from the crowd, I just felt nothing can be more embarrassed than this moment during this trip. Maybe in some occasion it is nothing but a joke, but his expression at that moment and later when we talked with each other told me that was not something it was supposed to be. Till now, I still cannot totally accept the explanation I got, it was nearly a kind of offense, at least from my point of view.


Went to a hospital and got some medicine, I have to think about my health seriously. To Jack and Iris, thanks a lot for your help, without the affair before, never will I tell you about the problem of my ear, I swear.

I tried to tell my friends in the mainland how interesting this program is and show off the pictures and knowledge I get here through the SNS website everyday, and they admire me a lot. Unfortunately I have nothing to show today, or even have to hide my feelings instead. Hope all will be fine tomorrow, maybe what I suffered today was just the costs to choose the road not taken.

Wish all of us will have a happy ending two weeks later.
