The Beautiful Ah Mei Land and her Wondeful Lifesaving People -- Part 6 ..Visiting Tainan Lifesaving

By now, most of you are safe from exam... keep your swords, please.
I can still recall all those wonderful moments with the Taiwanese Lifesaving friends.....
So the story continues....

Day 7

we took the early morning High Speed Rail - bullet train down to Tainan
The interior looks actually like an airplane seating arrangements.

within 1 hour, we 'touch down' at Tainan
The Tainan station look like an airport.....

with shops, and up to date supporting facilities.
Waiting at the 'words by Confucius' landmark for the shuttle bus to sent us to our accommodation.
Wonder whether this specky guy understand the 2 Chinese character or not??
In Singapore, every teacher know what the 2 words means..... otherwise they are not fit to become a teacher.
People who understand the 2 words are able to stand tall with their 2 feet and always free of foot injuries.... kick balls, kicks some more lah...

The swimming pool is sited at this beautiful sports hub at Tainan City.
At the entrance of the pool...
"District water safety and drowning prevention education activities"

NUS was proudly presented by the Tainan Lifesaving friends thru this bunting.
Only TYR is tall enough to reach the top.

A wonderful moment with the Tainan Lifesaving people.
We were presented with a very nice souvenir gift each by Tainan Lifesaving President Mr. Zheng.

again, I was ask to present a speech in Mandarin.... it is an honour to do so.

We performed a water safety demo to the Tainan people .....

Doing stir up with a bystander.

The locals watch eagerly with our performance.

They really do......

We are truly honour and glad to be invited for the demo as well as the dinner celebrations by Presdient Mr. Zheng.
I , on behalf of NUS, thank the Tainan Lifesaving for hosting us ...of course..the speech was in Mandarin and Taiwanese Hokkien.

Team Captain, LyK presented her speech in Mandarin....better bush up your Mandarin!!!

Team Capatin, TWQ received his certificate of achievement from SG Stanley Wu.

Me too, I was 'conferred' for been hardworking with the lifetime membership as Honourable Lifeguard by CTWLSA, it was indeed an honour to received this prestigious award.

SG Stanley Wu, presented the Achievement plaque to teamNUS Lifesaving.

Toast and bottom up -- a very common sight at the dinner celebration...

Fabulous food, glorious food.....

Big serving sumptuous food....


Buddha jump over the wall...


Well..... fragrant glutinous rice with lotus leaf...

Veges wraps with fish and prawn...
many more but will not show it otherwise your table will be flooded by your drooling mouth water...

Time to meet up with new friends....the Taiwan elite lifesaving team..lead by team Captain Chen Kuan Chang.

So glad that we met and memories will last forever with all the toasting and bottom up as seen in this picture.
No night activities as next day is competition day.....

Thanks
Shen Lau Shi
