 Fishing in Hualien is a bit different from fishing in England ... |
 Bing-Wen catches a prawn. (They are green when alive and go pink when cooked...) |
 David has a go .... |
 ... and catches a medium-sized one. |
 Sue concentrates .... |
 .... and catches a whopper – just look at its pincers (the long things sticking out either side of the middle of the body...) |
 Abe removes the hook. |
 ... and David holds it by its pincers (about a foot long!) |
 Even Chen-En has a go ... |
 ... and catches one. |
 Abe admires the morning catch. |
 ... which now provides us with lunch.... |
 The whole family eat heartily. |
 Now we see the value of a chef as the proprieter .... The food is delicious! |
 The mustard is hot... |
 ... to everyone’s amusement. |
 Now down town to the Hualien Stone Sculpture Festival. |
 It has a major top-spinning competition for the children ... |
 Amy and David pose outside the Hualien County Stone Sculptural Museum. |
 Inside we are serenaded by a local artist playing ‘Amazing Grace’ on the harmonica. |
 Then she paints a picture of a lily for Sue. (Remember that ‘Susan’ means ‘fair white lily’.) |
 .... and Sue is presented with the painting. |
 We visit sculptures in the country ... |
 |
 and local christian graves ... |
 |
 The sea-shore north of Hualien. |
 Grace and Sue. |
 Mad dogs and Englishmen ... |
 ... paddle with the natives. |
 without allowing for big waves (see David’s legs vanish beneath the water ... |
 ... and get somewhat wet ... |
