Woke up early in the morning, took 'self strong' train down to Hualien, Ruei Suei...
While some are 'kooning', other are busy playing their games, some are just simply watching the beautiful scenery outside the window....
and some are busying playing cards - 'Rich and Outstanding' against the 'Queen of Genting'
We reached the starting point for our rafting at the treacherous Xiuguluan River, the longest river in Eastern coast of Taiwan, spanning from Mt. Xiuguluan, the river flows 103 km, cutting a gorge thru the coastal mountain range making it the most popular place for rafting.

'wait, wait, let me count how many grain first'
Anyway, she has since improved in her timing not just in makaning, noodle curlings but also her ski paddling..
We do the back drifting again but this time at Xiuguluan river, depth was quite shallow due to the dry weather with low rainfall but water still flowed very fast.

No problem for her as she is getting heated up..
Capsize drill on site.
'Collided' with many raft people from other local schools thus end up making friends with them..
Go, go, go on, exclaimed the team but my back hurts, no choice but need to go on as everybody is still paddling very hard, as no one show signs of fatigue.
Got stuck !!!
Freed.....let go...
Back drift again to the end...
Passing under the beautiful red arch bridge...
Beautiful gorges along the way, just relax on your back to end point.
Saw a wide eyed bird flying pass very low from JK land, don't know going where???

Shallow enough for us to walk back to end point...

Excellent teamwork is needed for a successful 4.5 hrs rafting session.
