7.2 Jinshan blue dye and Dharma Drum Mountain and Juming museum


Today is the last day of the first part of BACT. And personally I am so looking forward to tomorrow' s trip.
Ok back to today's story. In the morning, we go to Jinshan to do blue dye. We use elastic ,sticks and coins to shape a piece of cloth, maybe handkerchief. And then ,we can put it into a tank will blue bye and color the cloth. The dye is made by a plant whose name is "板蓝根" in chinese and its very safe. And the tools like coins can help to make different pictures on the cloth. Everyone makes a work and I think they are all very nice!
For lunch, we eat a meal of vegetarian food in the Dharma Drum Mountain. I have to say it tastes bad and I really don't like it. I eat the food painfully and I feel released when I finish the meal. As to this Dharma Drum Mountain, it's a place for Buddhism education. I think it's ok for me to experience the life of Monk, but I can't accept living like that for a long time.
In the afternoon , it's museum time. Juming museum is a wonderful museum and we can see many master pieces. We spend two hours walking around and enjoy the works and try to understand the master's idea. It's an interesting visit.
Then, after we go back to dorm, we take a rest and pack our luggage. I am so exciting for the next two weeks' trip around Taiwan.
