【第三梯】2016中泰國際教育旅行Day2(6/20)_902

        教育旅行的第二天從短促的鬧鐘聲開始，我們開始洗漱、疊被、整理，準備下樓用早餐。早餐之後，便驅車前往桃苑實驗學校參觀、交流。桃苑實驗學校位於靜謐的住宅區裡，環境單純，我們從遊覽車上便看見了學生們魚貫走進校園裡，桃苑實驗學校與康橋的理念雷同，都是要培養學生的國際觀，所以當我們走進校園時，便有著一股莫名的親切感。在經過安排之後，康橋的學子被分散到各個教室與桃苑實驗學校的學生們一同上課，打從我們進到教室裡，教室裡的學生們便熱情的為我們鼓掌、歡迎著我們的到來，緊接著是開始介紹彼此，之後則是與他們一同上課，經過兩節課後，在康橋的學生們即將去參觀桃苑實驗學校的社團時，桃苑的學生們把事先寫好的小卡片贈與我們，而我們也以小禮物回禮。

  下午時，我們來到了創客的聚集地－－華強北，一走進電子市場，琳瑯滿目的電子產品便呈現在我們眼前，有閃爍的發光二極體，有酷炫的無人機，甚至還有會跳舞的機器人，短短的一剎那這些電子產品就吸引住我們的目光，猶如劉姥姥逛大觀園般興奮，在我們穿梭於各個店面之間時，時間也一點一滴的過了，接著就到了我們今日最後一個行程，當遊覽車抵達了歡樂海岸的門口，那氣派的大門和涼爽的冷氣瞬間奪走了我們的專注力，迫不及待的想進去商場裡頭逛逛，在各自小組帶開後，我們享受著購物與冷氣帶給我們的快感。經過一天的奔波後，我們早已飢腸轆轆，猶如老虎需要獵物一般，我們來到了吳記台北麻辣火鍋用餐，整個用餐的過程充滿了歡笑，飲用著沁涼的飲料，吃著新鮮的海鮮，嘗著鮮甜的肉片，大夥兒沉浸在美食的饗宴裡，窗外的太陽西下，夜幕低垂，旅行的第二天也算是告一段落了，我們搭乘著遊覽車回到了飯店，準備開始休息，儲存著體力繼續明天的種種挑戰。

  The first thing we saw were children. Tiny kids walking in a caterpillar line. We had just arrived at桃苑international school. We marched into the assembly hall, where our overseas peers were all assembleled. 

  The day proceeded and we separated into little groups and went to different classrooms. The first thing that struck me most was thier accent. A tall girl, presumably class leader stood at the front of the bustling class and told us, in a clear cut, tongue-y enunciation to sit down wherever we liked. The second thing I noticed was the confidence. Such articulate confidence! Every student who stood up to present, or answer a question, did so with such precision, and without the slightest squirm. I think we should have been less shy, and said more when our own opinion was asked. Except from thier accent, the Chinese teachers and students didn't seem foreign at all in thier friendliness and disposition. They gave us the most roof lifting ovation whenever any of us answered the slightest question, and one of them said that she had been so excited that we were, coming she hadn't done any homework. And that made me wish even more that we hadn't been so quiet and reserved. We had a great time all the same, and at the end of club time two little girls and I exchanged our Facebooks.

  Next we went to the biggest electronic gathering in China,華強北. There were so many little gadgets and cogs and bright new inventions to make your eyes bulge. The cleverst inventions you'd ever dream of! A minion wizzed around in the air, and a robot danced  gangnan style all on it's own. And you were very prone to get lost in the compilicted, slightly daunting maze of technology. By the end of the day our feet were absolutely sore. If anyone had to live next to 華強北， they'd never ever be in short of electronical gadgets!

    The next stop was the posh, spacey department store,歡樂海岸. There were few people, and we leisurely wondered around the blissfully air conditioned store. I say blissfully air conditioned; the sun made a block with out shade seem like the Sahara.

  The tiring day ended with a delicious Taiwanese hot pot. We were all in senenth heaven. Now, we're back to our lovely hotel, and waiting for our tomorrow's breakfast. Yay.

經過三個多小時的車程，同學們一副睡眼惺忪的來到具有相當重要的歷史建築—鴉片博物館。剛走進館內，映入眼簾的是一排奼紫艷紅的罌粟花兒，經由導遊仔細講解花朵的用途後，才知道原來鴉片花瓣可以作為古老的麻醉藥品，而切開果實則有白色汁液經過數小時後，就變成生鴉片，之後，麻醉功能的鴉片慢慢地由知識份子轉移至違禁藥物，在其中加入不同成份的化學物質，也展出很多各式各樣的物品和方法來偷渡給客人，甚至模擬吸食鴉片的人如何使用工具來食用和掙扎的模樣，最後在ㄧ面牆上，列出許多世界上知名藝人曾經因為食用鴉片，而導致死亡或一輩子努力賺到的錢因此耗盡，在了解完鴉片的用途後，搭乘當地游船駛入湄公河。湄公河位於泰國、緬甸以及寮國三國交界處，導遊還沿途介紹緬甸和寮國政府認證的賭博場，但泰國之所以沒有賭博場，是因為泰國信奉佛教，皇室家族不希望大眾賭博入迷而違背佛祖，不僅如此，泰國為了慶祝第九任國王—蒲美蓬六十歲大壽，泰國、寮國、緬甸和中國合資建造金佛祖⋯等等。今天雖然搭車的時間很漫長，但下車學習到的知識與歷史，都是在書本上學不到的呢！

After traveling for three hours on the bus, students walked into the opium museum with yawns. This museum was an important historical architecture. Right after entering, we saw arrays of colorful poppies. According to the explanation from the tour guide, we understand that the petals of poppies can be made into anesthesia, and the liquid that came out from the fruit after cutting the skin can be made into opium. I certainly believe that the museum is one of the best that I've ever visited. Historical events are explained and depicted vividly throughout the well-designed hallway. Life-like statue of people are even more attractive. After the visit, we learned the history of the spread of opium and its important role in impacting the history of China, Asia and the Great Britain. Addiction was the greatest weapon that could completely destroy a county's labors, energy, cultural development and any other economic activities. We experienced the weakness of humanity and learned how great the payback would be if we abused drugs. After that, we visited the Golden Triangle which shaped was located in the border line of three counties, including Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. For us, it is a very cool experience to see the borders of three countries at once while traveling on the boat along the Mekong River. The tour guide talked about the economic conditions of the three countries in humorous tone, making his words even more easily remembered and understood. Today  we walked out from the boring history textbooks to learn and experience the contexts on our own. Again, we are deeply astonished by the awe-inspiring natural scenes and the life lessons taught by human history and nature.

今天一早我們驅車前往皇后植物園，裡面有各式各樣，在臺灣不太能看到的植物，我們也見識到了泰國與台灣的生態不同。
吃完午餐後我們就去泛舟。泛舟是個很有意義的活動，可以培養感情並且提升團隊精神。今天在船上我們都非常的開心，而且也體驗到了平常不會有機會經驗的活動。水很髒，而且我們一開始就全身濕了。全程非常遠不過我們還是撐了過去。載我們的車子一路上經過了許多的農場和花園，也看到了大象與蚊子。實在是非常的刺激，一開始就全身濕透，但我們竟然是第一個到的。
晚上去吃顯現泰北文化的帝王宴。雖然中途下雨了，但還是體驗到了文化間的不同。







Today we went to Queen garden. We saw many special plants we have never seen before. After lunch, we went to kayak. It was an exciting and important event. We can learn more about each other and team spirit. We then went to eat Northern Thailand traditional meal. Although it was raining when we were almost finished, we experienced the difference between Thailand culture and Taiwan culture.

中泰教育旅行來到第四天，早餐後我們前往烹飪學校，廚師帶著我們瞭解香料、植物，接下來進入教室學習如何煮菜。第一道菜是泰式酸辣湯－冬蔭，第二道菜是綠咖哩，香辣椰奶中帶有九層塔的香氣，加上雞肉的地滑嫩，每一口都叫人驚奇，好似江河匯聚，第三道菜泰式炒河粉，是加入豆芽、豆腐、花生粉及其他香料以大火快炒，豆腐入口即化，麵彈牙好吃。當然還有甜點－椰奶香蕉糕，入口充滿濃濃香蕉和椰奶香。

享用自煮午餐後，我們參訪三王纪念碑(Three Kings Monument)後，搭乘當地著名的嘟嘟車(Tuk tuk)，遊覽古城一圈，再到水果市場，享用本地出產的椰子、榴槤durian、紅毛丹rambutan、山竹mangosteen。參觀雙龍寺(Wat Phra That Doi Suthep)，我們先搭乘了一段小纜車上山，可以眺望整個清邁古城。我們專心的聽著導遊的解說，並以虔誠的心，欣賞著雕刻、神像、廟宇之美。

晚上的夜間動物園，看到西部牛仔秀、人妖表演秀，當然最重要的是，能體驗與動物近距離的接觸。師長們買了水果讓大家一起餵食動物，鹿、斑馬，就連長頸鹿，都直接把頭伸進車內，真的是「身歷其境」。最後我們進到了猛獸區，孟加拉虎、黃金虎和美洲豹…等，在星空的陪伴下，我們結束了充實的一天。

The fourth day of the education trip, we started our day with some cooking in the morning after breakfast. We went to cooking school that teaches you how to do some basic cooking. The chef started with introducing to us some special spices, plants and many other things that might come in handy for our cooking later on. The first dish that we came up with is a kind of sour and spicy soup in Thailand. The ingredients included chicken and coconut milk. The second dish was green curry, a special type of curry not seen often around places in or beside Thailand. The curry was really a kicker. The third dish was Shahe Fen, a type of noodle that everyone thinks of when thinking of Thai food. We had a good lunch eating what we cooked. It was really fun to eat what we cooked and to be honest, the food was pretty good too.

After lunch, we visited the Three Kings Monument. The weather was really hot though. After that, we went to markets selling fruits and we learned a lot about fruits that we had never ate or even never heard of. Fruits like rambutan, mangosteen were the one that really amazed us. We took the famous tuk tuk and strolled around the city before heading up the mountain. On the mountain, we can see the whole city view from up there. We visited the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep up there. With sincere hearts, we strolled around palaces and we all had a great time.

At night, we went to a night zoo. We enjoyed shemale and cowboy performances there. But the most amazing part of it all was how close we can interact with animals. I even got to kiss a giraffe!! Under a beautiful night sky, we finished our fourth day of the trip.

今天的行程是最輕鬆的，因為只要搭乘飛機前往泰國。一開始，我們便搭車到深圳灣口岸，我們要從那裡進去香港。之前進去深圳也是從一樣的地方，但沒有像之前一樣那麼少人。這次光排隊就花了好多的時間，這也讓我知道原來每天都有一大堆人要進去香港，可見它是多麼熱鬧、國際化的城市。
之後，我們又搭車前往香港國際機場。而，香港國際機場也是一個非常大的機場。它不只商店多，連餐廳、登機門都非常多，到處都是人。而且，我們的登機門還要搭乘專用巴士才會到，所以一天要飛的班機一定很多。我們坐了大概三小時的飛機。飛機上，我們睡覺、聊天、吃零食，是一件很放鬆的事。
下了飛機，清邁正下著大雨，因為現在這個時段是泰國的雨季。但，雨過天晴，下完雨之後便出了大太陽，讓我體會到了清邁的熱情，真的很熱。到了飯店之後，我們開始享用晚餐。晚餐真的很好吃，也有道地的泰國菜，讓我瞭解泰國當地的文化。

I believe that today was the most relaxed day among all the days. Basically, we were just going on a flight to ChingMai, Thailand. First, we went to Shenzhen Bay Port to get into Hong Kong. There were so many people lining up to go to Hong Kong. From this, I knew that there were several people went to Hong Kong every day. Thus, it must be a crowded, international city. Later, we got on the same bus to go to Hong Kong International Airport. There were not only a lot of shops in the airport, but also many restaurants and gates for us to travel abroad to other countries. Also, in order to go to our gate, we needed to got on a bus that used in the airport. Hence, there must be a lot of flights in each day. On the airplane, we played, chatted, slept, and ate cookies. This was an easy time in our trip since we can do whatever we wanted as well relax ourselves. We were on the airplane for about three hours. The view was beautiful. I could see the clouds on top of the mountains. When we arrived, it was raining in ChingMai since it was the raining season in Thailand. However, the rain stopped and the sun came out. The sun shined brightly on our faces, and the weather was hot in Thailand. After, we went to the hotel. As we ate our dinner, I tasted some Thai food, which made me know more about their culture.

今天是教育旅行的第二天，然後我們去參訪北大附中深圳南山分校、華強北電子商場，和歡樂海岸。在參觀北大附中時，我看見了與康橋不同環境的教育方式。在北大附中的學生上課時，我注意到了雖然他們活動很多，但是同學在英文課交談的時候都用中文，而且老師只有簡略帶過課程。與學校比較起來，那邊的教育沒有做到良好互動，所以學生學習狀況不佳。這件事要當作借鏡，要對此省思。接下來下午我們來到了華強北，然後參觀了他們的電子商場。在電子商場裡面，除了一堆精緻仿冒品，我在其中發現到在這些商品的背後其實表現出了大陸快速的發樂展。他們的發展迅速，將其市場擴大，實在是令人驚艷。最後我們來到了歡樂海岸，並在此吃晚餐休息。歡海岸有漂亮的淡水湖，在夕陽的陪伴下我們結束了今天的行程⋯⋯。

Today our education trip to Shenzhen and Thailand started with our visit to The Affiliated School of Pecking University, Shenzhen Nanshan Branch. Though the Affiliated School of Pecking has the same goals as Kang Chiao, their ways of studying differs greatly. The Affiliated School of Pecking University has a more traditional culture than Kang Chiao, their education is still based on the old Chinese belief on remembering everything. On the other hand Kang Chiao has a more live learning environment  than the Affiliated School of Pecking University. Both of these are effective in different ways, having a more lively environment makes learning easier with a starting a language, though the traditional way of memorizing has proven that it's needed for the advancement of a language. Later we went to a electronic market called Hua Chiang Bei. We went to this Market to learn the the spirit of makers. Within our trip through the electronic market we saw the spirit of makers, their spirit is the spirit of just do it and never give up. Our team went to see the water cooling system. We learned many things about this technology. And wrote a short essay on this piece of technology. Today we saw another way of education and learnt the spirit of makers. All this will be greatly beneficial to our lives in the future.

今天早上要早起去搭飛機，其實原本心情受到一大早的驟雨因而不是很美麗，但是當我搭上飛機，小睡片刻之後，感覺心裡就寬闊了許多。

剛到香港，感覺很悶熱，為了等坐纜車也花了好一段時間，纜車很高、很恐怖，要我們把命交給一條繩子我覺得非常害怕，感覺就像是在玩命一樣心臟都快跳出來了。我上昂坪稍微逛了一下就再搭纜車回來了，回來的路上比較敢看外面，因為之前搭過一次，所以也就沒有那麼害怕了，但是要我再多搭幾次來克服高度，我想就留給下次再繼續努力吧。

之後在大巴上面，導遊在介紹有關於深圳的各種歷史，果然還是要搭配當地的歷史文化背景淵源參觀城市才真正算是旅行的意義啊。

Today is the first day of our trip, we have to wake up very early to get on the plane. Although I was depressed by the huge rain in the morning, but after a nap on the plane, I felt better. It was very hot in Hong Kong. We spent a lot of time waiting for the cable car. The cable car is really high, and creepy. I was scared because we have to hand our life to a thin rope.
However I was not so scared in the way back, because of the first experience. If you want me to ride on the cable car for several more times, I think I should leave that for the next trip. Then, we got on to the bus. The guide was explaining the histories of Sheng Zhen. I felt very meaningful about this trip to not only experience the local city, but also learn the history and background of the city at the same time.
