The Mushroom Farm: A Field Trip
My wife and I accompanied my daughter's class on a field trip to a mushroom farm in one of the local mushroom growing centers, Hsinshe. Mushrooms have been an important crop since they were promoted as an export crop in the 1950s. Anyway, I've created a website about the trip here.

ReplyDeleteYou know this is the crop my own family in Taiwan used to grow, so I've spent many a day picking mushrooms in the huge sheds! Not easy work. Looks like you all had a good time. Field trips in Taiwan are so great because not far away is always something so interesting.
The company I used to work for used the "mushroom" theory to manage employees. Keep 'em in the dark, feed them a bunch of sh*t, then cut 'em off at the knees.
ReplyDeleteHell yes its Keelung, took the pic myself. Keelung looks better than Taichung, let's face it. I just liked the picture...
ReplyDeleteGood job on the pictures. I pick mushrooms too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I often mourn the lost potential of Keelung. But Taichung is just butt-ugly, lying across the western plain like a smear of crushed cockroach on a tiled floor. Not. a. pretty. sight.
