今天第七天，我們一早就前往馬來村，這是一個鄉村部落，我們一進去村莊，村裡的大小孩拿著鑼鼓熱烈的歡迎我們的到來，之後村長就帶我們就進入他們的禮堂，他教了我們如何用葉子編織馬來西亞包粽子的容器，那是一個用兩片椰葉編織成的東西，感覺很神奇。

我們除了編了粽葉之外，也學習用竹藤編小籃子。編完後我們看了當地人是如何用蠟畫畫在布上面，老師讓我們自己選一張圖並在上面試著上色。之後村長帶我們去參觀他們原始的房屋，村長說他們房子前面的階梯是代表他房屋主人的經濟情況，還說他們的房子是可以移動的，只要集合幾家的男人就可以移動它，不只這樣，他們的房屋不用任何一根釘子，全部都是用卡榫的卡進去的。

之後我們去體驗當地的玩具---陀螺。一開始大家都打不太起來，但班上也有部分同學特別有天分，試沒幾次就成功了，大家都對這一個玩具依依不捨，都想要留下來繼續玩。之後我們去吃午餐，村民教了我們做當地的點心時，上午的行程就愉快的結束了

上午的馬來村參訪結束後，我們到了附近鄉村部落的橡膠園及油棕梠園。今天下午雖然下雨，而且園裡有許多泥巴，但是依然能夠採收橡膠。橡膠採收在馬來西亞是一項非常重要的經濟來源。在橡膠園跟油棕梠園內有很多的蟲子。村民示範割橡膠給我們看，同學們也親自嘗試割橡膠，一些人把橡膠液塗在其他人的手臂玩。我們在車上也看見了馬來西亞的稻田，雖然現在也還不是稻米的成熟期，但看到稻田時卻依舊讓我們有種回到了台灣鄉村的感覺。

之後我們有到當地的人家參觀，那裏的房子坪數都很大，屋子外也有大空地。可是我們發現他們的廁所都設在房子外，也沒有洗手台，跟台灣有些許差別。我們的導遊(Vicky)有跟我說在他的外婆家不包括房子都可以蓋三座羽毛球場，在台灣連鄉下要有這麼大的土地也很困難。

不論是否與台灣相同，我們還是在這天的旅程中學到了許多馬來西亞的風情和農產業知識。

Today was the seventh day in our trip. We headed early to the traditional Malaysian village. When we went in the village, the villagers welcomed us by playing gongs and trumpets. After we entered the village, the villagers brought us to the village hall. The locales taught us how to make the containers for rice with coconut leaves and small baskets with bamboo leaves. The villagers also taught us how to color the painting drawn by wax. After that, the village chief took us to their traditional house. According to the chief, the stairs in front of the house represents the owner’s economic status. Also, the chief said the house can be easily move by people and float when a flood comes. What makes their houses special is that the whole house is made without any nails. What interests us the most are their traditional toy and their local food. Their traditional toy is called the spinning wheel. At first, we didn’t really know how to play it, but after a while some talented classmates made it, which encouraged the others. Besides, their local food caught our attention. And this was how our joyful morning ended.

After we visited the traditional Malaysian village, we went to the rubber tree park that was near the village. Even though it was raining in the afternoon and was muddy everywhere, we still could harvest rubber. The harvest of rubber stood a great part of their income. There were a lot of mosquitos in the park. Local people demonstrated how to harvest rubber from the trees, and our classmates also tried to harvest rubber. Some people even applied the rubber on their skin. Although it was not the right season for Oil Palm tree, the tour guide still made simple introduction for us. We saw Malaysia’s paddy on the bus. Even though the rice wasn’t ripe yet, it still reminded us of Taiwan’s countryside.

We also visited the traditional Malaysian house. There was a big area outside their house. We realized that the Malaysians never build a bathroom in their house, which was different from Taiwan. Our tour guide, Vicky, said, “The empty area that surrounds her grandma’s house can accommodate 3 badminton courts! It is hard to find such a big land in Taiwan.”

We learned a lot about Malaysia’s culture and the knowledge of its industry.
