2012 杜鵑花節：臺大農場校友野趣苔球DIY &農場導覽

9:30-11:30AM, 10 March, 2012

I do appreciate the guided tour of the farm. The only downside of our tour guide was that he talked too much and didn't use his time effectively. After having attended numourous guided tours, I do feel that a guided tour around the farm is not just about burbling plant names. A tour could be more amusing with background stories and hands-on experience. Stop the whining and have a look at the gifts given.

One of the bonus of working in RBSC is that Japanese patrons are so polite that they would normally bring gifts to those who is in charge. As a result, department members would get the opportunity to taste real Japanese cookies, candies or deserts. 

I have to say that I really admire how Japanese people design and wrap up their gifts. 

Our dormitory advisory is like a mother to all the residents at Graduate Dormitory. She cooked late night desserts for residents to share occassionally. One of her best is tapioca pearls with brown sugar. Tapioca pearls are the "pearls" used in bubble milk tea (or pearl milk tea). Thank you very much, residence advisor.

(And the dessert is a great stress reliever!)
