28th July – 2nd
August, 2019
One of
our duties is still not finished yet for this 2019 Rural-up Program in Taiwan. It
is workshop class about how to make Dragondoll for Yuemei community. We had
made promise with Wei Dage on 29th of July at 2 o’clock in pottery
factory. This workshop was joined by Wei Dage, Zhuang Dage, Professor and her team, and other communities. Besides
that, we had planned to celebrate farewell party by making Nasi Kuning Tumpeng.
Therefore, we shopped early morning some materials food for Nasi Kuning Tumpeng
accompanied by Cici Atin. The farewell party held at 5 pm, joining with headman
of Yuemei community, public figures, Yuemei communities and several National Chia
Yi University (NCYU) students.
On 30th
of July, we had to go out from our basecamp, we will rent some hotel near by
Feng Chia Night Market because we will visit National Chung Hsing University
(NCHU) that promised with Professor Wu. So, we had to separate with all Yuemei
community. It is bad time that we didn’t like to pass it early. We were ushered
to terminal with Wei Dage and Zhuang Dage’s Cars. We used bus from Chiayi
county to Feng Chia. At 11 o’clock we arrived in hotel, so we continued the
journey to NCHU using bus to be there. Until we arrived in NCHU, we met with
Philippines team and Professor Wu, today we talked about our impression and
suggestion for this Rural-up Program, and walked around the university.
After
visiting NCHU, we came back to hotel to pray Maghrib and preparing for going to
Feng Chia Night Market. This is time to hunting some gifts or souvenirs of
Taiwan specialty. It took 4 hours to around the Night Market until we got them.
We had
to check out from the hotel at 11 o’clock, so we had prepared our belongings
and moved to another places nearer by Taoyuan international airport. Next our destination
is At-Taqwa mosque in Taoyuan as basecamp for Taiwan Muslim Association. Miss
Hasanah allowed us to stay overnight at her home. She and her husband are one
of entrepreneurs of halal food in Taiwan, they were inspired with ease in obtaining
halal food for Muslim Taiwan. About 20 years they have been developing Muslim tourism
in Taiwan, by building halal catering and small convenient muslim store at her
home.
Of course,
we had to go to another places in Taoyuan. We went to Taichung Market using MRT
from Dayuan Station. Continuing of hunting souvenirs, we walked around the
market until we got tired and went back home. Fortunately, we got shuttle
service from Mr Yadi, that is one of miss Hasanah assistant in that
association.
Next
day, 1st of August, we had to go to the Taoyuan International
airport because our flight schedule at 15.50 Taiwan. We separated with our lectures,
because one of them is going by different flight with us, and another got some problem
that obliged her to stay in Taiwan. So we took off from Taoyuan International
airport to Changi Singapure airport only six of us.
5 hours of travel without
meals service made us tired, immediately we had a dinner after praying. Heard
the information of this airport that has an indoor waterfall, we were
interested to visiting it tonight. With curiosity, we traced the airport to
finding Jewel waterfall. Around 30 minutes, we found the waterfall. It is so
beautiful indoor waterfall that we ever seen before. Accidentally, we were
offered a laser show of Jewel HSBC Rain Fortex at 12.30 am. It is mesmerizing
us for a while.
On 2nd
of august, early morning we had to check in for next trip from Singapura to
Jakarta, our flight time is 8.15 pm. This flight took 2 hours to Soekarno-Hatta
International Airport. In this time, we separated again, four of us had stop
only in this airport because of some reasons. So, only 3 person of us continued
the flight until Sumbawa. Finally, arriving in Sumbawa at 5 pm safely without
obstacles.
