Today is the official end for the 2013 BACT program. In the afternoon, we all gather at meeting room for group presentation. This group project can really make us more familiar with other group members and learn how to cooperate with people from other countries and majors. All groups did a great job and we had our closing ceremony.
We finish this program with a very nice farewell dinner. We had a buffet dinner in an Italian restaurant. I take photos with all the people in this program, which make remember our time in Taiwan. It is really a nice program for me to meet people from other countries and know more about Taiwan. I like this program very much.
After the dinner, we went to Karaoke in mid night. It's the last activity we can gather around and play. We all fully participated in the karaoke room. It's a prefect ending for our program. I hope that I can see them again!!!

Zoo visit and project
19/7/2013
Today, we went to Taipei City Zoo. In the morning, we had a lecture about how this zoo involve in conservation job and learn from other zoo. After that, we went to a reptile and amphibian center to look at some endangered species. This center collect the endangered species from smuggling, so we can really find some extremely rare and beautiful reptile from this center.
After looking at the endangered animals, we can have our free time to visit in this zoo. This is a really huge zoo that we can see different kinds of animals, including animals from all around the world. But my most favorite animals is the Formosan Black Bear. However, I cannot see the white bend near the neck part of its body. Then, we went to the area to see animals from Africa. Since I have visited South Africa in the previous winter, I see almost 90% of the animals in that area. We finally take the train to left the zoo. We back to dorm to finish the project, then have a great dinner before our presentation!

Seedling transplanting
18/7/2013
In the morning, we went to the farm in NTU for seedling transplanting. It's really a tough job to transplant the seedlings under sun. We need to put our leg onto the mud and the feeling is very creepy.
At lunch, we have a rice meal, including sticky rice, rice noodling, rice dumpling etc. It all taste very nice! After lunch we had a long rice movie watching, it is quite long to me because I want more time on my project and travel around in the last few days in Taiwan. We gather around for the discussion of the project. Every group mates are very helpful and we finish about all the project within a short time. We are just waiting for the soil sample and practicing our presentation.

【I am Vico】Not written by ME!!!!
I am Vico. I came to Taiwan for a B~A~C~T~ program!
I think my Mandarin is getting better now. I am very happy. However, I still can not distinguish between “洗澡” and “洗脚” in Mandarin. They sounds same to me. Am I stupid? Yes, I think so.

Back to Taipei!

Today was the last day we stay at Sitou. In the morning, we left Sitou and went to 921 earthquake museum. I think earthquake is the most terrible disaster. It is not possible to predict an earthquake and it can be started at every time. Also, earthquake comes very fast and it is difficult to prevent. Although there are average 2000 earthquake per year in Taiwan, I still haven't experience any at all. I'm glad I am born in Hong Kong and there is no such terrible disaster.
After lunch, we went to agriculture institute. We visit how local researcher carry out the crop experiments on isolated greenhouse. This agriculture institute involve a lot of technique like genetic engineering, transporter induced gene expression, genetic modification etc. This is really a good place for doing experiments on crops.

Project in the forest
16/7/2013
In the morning, we go back to the selected place for research. We first put marks on every point. Secondly, we collect the soil sample, plant species and different parameter. Fortunately, that was a sunny day and we can do all the works within 3 hours. After lunch, we started our project powerpoint. However, it take a lots of time for us to identify the plant species. Luckily, there was a good taxonomist and he help us for the identification work. At night, we went to ghost village. There was a Japanese style village and I took a lot of photo about that beautiful and interesting village.

Begining of our project
15/7/2013
Today
was the first day for us to do our own research. Our group is going to study
about the plants diversity along the stream. Since the water content of the
soil near the stream will be higher, it would reduce the oxygen content inside
the soil. Therefore, it would cause easy damage to the root of the plant. Therefore,
we are looking for the plants that can grow well near the river and its
adaptation. In the afternoon, we went out to do the survey. At first, we are
going to collect some soil sample from the site. Unfortunately, it suddently
rain and it would directly affect our sample. Therefore, we can only take some
plant sample back to our room for identification. Today is a tough hiking date.
