Last month Randy, a fellow teacher, returned to his native Canada. We bade him adieu...even though he was going back to Saskatchewan, not Québec :-)

On Easter Sunday, Chyo and I took a day trip to 三義 Sanyi with his friend Stuart, who was visiting from Hong Kong. Sanyi is known for its woodcarving industry, as well as 勝興火車站 Shengxing Huochezhan, an historic train station.

The road leading to the train station	Don't mess with me!	For when we need to go undercover

Friendly street vendor	A local woman lent me her Easter bonnet	Chyo and Stuart

Relaxing at a train station teahouse	I tried 擂茶 lei cha, a Hakka tea made with nuts, seeds, and grains. 好喝!	Lei cha ingredients

Entrance to one of Sanyi's many woodworking shops. Unfortunately, camera were not permitted inside.	This bakery capitalizes on the local industry.	Picking tea leaves.
