2006.07.17-07.20 3th week

This week the most interesting thing for me was to find the soil sample. We have to figure out the soil bacteria versus lake bacteria, what happen when lots of soil bacteria into the lake and then mixing.

The places of the soil samples are under the cypress and mosses; we have to cross over the big branches; be careful of the slithery land.

Japanese scientist also came to find their experimental material, 阿里山假寶鐸花, 南投寶鐸花, 舌根草. I learned many plant when they visited.

I got car sick when we back!
Damm~~XD

YYL-channel 2nd week

The taxi driver was a crazy guy; he was trying to let everyone in his car go to his wife's hair salon. He said his wife was profession of hairdesign. I thank he was too show off. But perhaps that was his style!

This week we took two bricks to make sure the sample site. One is wei-han in outflow; the other is yalan in inflow. This desing was to make sure the difference surface bacteria distribution (三者之間). That taking it to YYL was really a hard work.

On Wendsday the Central Wheater Bubrea publised a ocean alarm. That meaned the typhoon would come recently. So we had to decide our next step: stay or leave. It maked me confuse because it's really intreseting observing the mixing effect, however it was not safe to stay~~ Adminstrator of the YYL conservation will close this area during typhoon days. So there was no any other choise.

See you next time! YYL

2006.07.03(Entrance exam for university) at 8:45 in acdamic sinica R410

Right now my sister is testing, blessing she will get good scores.

But I have more important this to do which is going to the Yuan-Yang Lake for exploring the lake metabolism. I met Yalan first; she was very busy; she put staff here and there; runned here and there. It seemed so many this we had to move to the car; she was very kind! And then I met Ashely, she was a cute girl; we talked about the orchid and sport. Then I met Charles(AS researcher), 建華, they both very nice guy. I used my broken English to try to tell so many this in car on the way to YYL. I hope we can go to many places in Taiwan this summer.


This is the entrance of the park.

We got to the YYL work station at about 3:00pm. The other guys from 新竹 also got there about the same time. They tried to fixed the radio system to make the signal can be easy use on internet.

Tim is a passing professor; we deicined to go to the lake at 4:00.(sun set at 6:45); the plan was to see the situation of the machines. It seemed that had some trouble because the solar plan was not supplying the power to the battery. And the lake was so beautiful. After finshing the test of the lake we got back for dinner, I cooked the first time in this year!!


YYL


We use boat to bouy.


2006.07.04 Boating, sampling and meeting new friend

At about the sun rise we all got up to go to YYL boating to Bouy to give him a new sensor and fix the radio system. It was every interesting to boat on lake; I enjoyed the sliding feeling; I think it just like to be a fish or duck swimming in water. Then we stated to get the different depth water sample; we wanted to get the information about the lake by the oxygen, microorganism community, depth change, and temperature. On the otherhand Tim and 秀華 added the new sensor for bouy.

About noon, we got back to deal samples; it seemed good.
