On Monday I went to a Taiwanese farm. It was an amazing adventure and I had a great time! The first thing that we did was dig for earthworms. I didn't dig any because I hate bugs. My friend Frank found, caught a scissor beetle and was going to raise it as a pet! It was really weird and there were pray mantises, spiders, ants and much much more in the area where they dug for earthworms! The next thing was catching shrimp! It was extremely hard. It was harder than when I first imagined it to be. I caught zero at first. I was really upset and i didn't want to catch any again. :(, Afterward i ate instant noodles. My friends and I went down to the same place that we caught the shrimp, the river. I heard that we were going to catch fish so I was very excited. When the preparations were done I wanted to try first. Unfortunately, my mom came down with me and said I should see them do it first before I tried. I was way too excited to wait so i got angry at my mom. While I was waiting I heard a splash and saw that the fish bait had dropped into the water. It was funny and disappointing at the same time, but the person who accidentally dropped it had started crying and she went back up first. I finally had the chance to try, but the problem was that there weren't any fishes in the river this season. I was really disappointed, so I went back to catch shrimps. The good thing was that this time I tried catching shrimp, I really did catch some. The bad thing was that on the way back i got scratched by plants and it was quite big. My mom did some work and dug out vegetables to eat. The amazing thing that they did with the vegetables was that they put it together with chicken to cook. When it was ready, it tasted so good. It was really juicy, tender and the skin was crunchy. Plus they used the vegetables to wrap it around the chicken. At the very end, my parents and I planted a kiwi tree in the garden. It was a spectacular trip and I wish to come again soon.
Here's a short video of me in action:
