Taiwanese Tea Farm

On Sunday 9:00 a.m., I went to a Taiwanese Tea Farm. Most of the people here are from my school. At the tea farm, the first thing we did was signing your name on a sheet of paper so that you can get some tea for free(or I think for free). After that my friends showed me how to play a Taiwanese yo-yo that they bought at school. Soon after that we went to pick tea leaves. The tea leaves you had to pick needed to have a heart and two leaves. I was glad when when I got a lot of them, but my friend collected two times as much. When a few bags were filled, I was exhausted. I was sweating like crazy. At last, it was time to eat. We ate on a little grill and had to put up the fire ourselves. There were six different groups, all of them had the same supplies but at different places. My group was near the tea leaves fields. My friend wanted to did everything that my dad wouldn't let me do. I was really angry that I couldn't do those things such as light the fire and put in some coal. At last, things worked out. The things we ate were mostly fish balls. All I ate were three pieces of meat. At the end of the day everyone took a picture together with the packs of tea. It was a nice day and overall I pretty much liked the tea farm and i am hoping to go again soon.
