Destination : Yilan
Wake up super early at 7 to catch the train to Yilan where we are having a farm stay! hee. The huo che ride took some time and we reach there onli at 10 plus. By the time we had reach there, we were famished as we haven even eaten breadfast!!! Ate at a small mian eatery where i tried the "dao1 siao1 mian4". Hmm is not fantastic but i tink i luv it as i am too hungry le. Haha.

We took a bus and slowly made our way to "mei1 lin2 nong2 cang1". The bus journey seems ages but i was enjoying the nice scenery along the way! Suddenly, the driver ask us to alight and my god, around mi is nothing but mountains and open areas. Haha i wonder where is the farm. We walked slowly down a small muddy path and finalli we reached! hee the auntie there veri friendly and the scenery there is marvellous!
The front view of the farm is a wide open area of vegetable farm with lotsa vegetables like cong, xiao bai cai and watermelons. And the vegetables there are super super big!!! The size is definitely not something i can find in singapore. And surrounding the farm, is nothing but mountains. My god, i feel so near to mother nature. Haha.

All of us were famished again by dinner time. And it will be a bbq dinner! hee is nice to bbq especially during the evenings, the mountainous areas become cold. Of course, the bbq fire keeps us warm. This is the first time i adored the warmth of the bbq. The food the aunite prepare is very nice. The vegetables are freshly plucked from the farm and cooked! Can you imagine how fresh it is!!! I am not a fan of tomatoes but auntie brought this big plate of tomatoes sprinkled with plum powder. I tried one and my god, is super sweet and nice!!! like eating some sweet juciy fruits! Yummy!!! I never knew that tomatoes can taste this great! Haha. The onli off thing abt the bbq is that there were a lot of flying ants!!! haha. There are so many of them that i keep moving here and there to keep them away! Scary!
Food!!!
Auntie say that the weather is a bit cold hence we might not be able to see fireflies. But we still decide to go and try our luck. The farm at night is scary as it is pitch dark which u thought u are blind. U are not able to see without a torch. Holding hands and with auntie as guide, we embark on the mission to find fireflies. Haiz... walk walk walk for almost 0.5 hr and still nothing in sight. When we are losing hope, suddenly we saw it! We exclaimed "IT's THERE!!!" I always thought that fireflies are yellow in colour but in fact the one i saw has a faint blue colour. Hee so cool!!! Haha... the fireflies expedition ended our itineray for day 2!
