【第二梯】2016中泰國際教育旅行Day4(6/17)_9C

Day 4
It is widely agreed that today’s journey was an extraordinary one accompanied with priceless memories and experiences. We embarked our great adventure in the prosperous city of Chiang Mai, Thailand early in the morning and found ourselves beside of a turbulent river many minutes afterward. Although the torrents of the river seemed ominous to us, the rafting was soon proven to be completely safe and thrilling. We believe that the most valuable lesson that we learned through this event was to embrace excitement, even if fear is in place. In an undebatable manner, the camaraderie and unity among our class was strengthened. When the rafting ended, the ancient area of Chiang Mai arose as our new destination. When we approached the historical heritage of Thailand, brilliant scenery caught our breaths. Not only were the walls formidable with statues and paintings, the grandiose palace and temples also showed the intense devotion of the people toward religion and the nation itself. Thereupon, we came to realize that cohesion and devotion were extremely essential of the road to becoming prodigious. Last but not least, we went to a traditional Thai restaurant for our last meal, where we were greeted with hospitality the moment we arrived. The fantastic location provided us with spectaculars of traditional Thai performances while we enjoyed the luxurious Northern-Thai-Styled meals. Just when we were all immersed in the exotic atmosphere, a rapid rainstorm disturbed our enthusiasm. Even though the rainstorm made the show harder to be expressed, the show continued on with great music and dances. In the end, the persistence of the performers touched our heart deeply. Sure you can say today’s trip is interesting and eye-opening, but the lessons we learned were far more important.

所有人都認為，今日的旅程不僅非比尋常，還伴隨著珍貴又美好的回憶。早晨，在泰國清邁這繁華無比的城市裡，我們一行人來到了湄濱河進行泛舟活動。ㄧ開始的我們，隨著湍急的溪水以及橡皮艇不穩的沖擊與晃動，心也無可避免的顫抖著，生怕一個不小心就會落入水中。然而，一段時間過後，我們漸漸發現，其實只要遵守船夫與老師的指示，這項活動是十分安全的，甚至能讓人盡情享受其中的樂趣。結束了刺激有趣的泛舟活動後，下ㄧ站-古城。來到這個傳承泰國歷史的神聖之地，其華麗的建築設計令我們不禁屏息，嘆為觀止。這座古城有著巨大的牆面，至今仍然聳立在那兒，屹立不搖，而矗立在一旁的，是一座又一座的寺廟與皇宮，更凸顯出泰國當地的虔誠宗教信仰。從中我們也藉此學習到，邁向成功之路，其中一項必要條件，便是全心全意的投入時間與精神。傍晚，我們來到了傳統泰式餐廳享用王府泰式帝王料理，一面品嚐著美味佳餚，一面欣賞著由婀娜多姿女子所帶來的傳統舞蹈表演。當我們正目不轉睛望著她們的舞姿，天公卻不做美，一場滂沱大雨，敗壞了我們的興致，卻絲毫沒有影響到台上敬業的舞者們，使我們感到欽佩不已。今日之旅不僅讓我們大開眼界，更讓我們從中學習到了許多重要的人生課題。
