Camping and Hiking

Camping with Mum's TaiChi group then go for a 1000 meter climb from 1800 meter elevation the next day. Mum is totally a city person, she dislikes plants, animals and anything that smells, dirt/sand decorated, or alive. Her only contact with nature is those animal corpses and produces in the wet market. I was completely taken aback when she told me that she is into camping now. We drove to meet Mum and planed to camp with the Taichi group. Their camp ground is sheltered! There is water and electricity, uncles and aunties took almost the whole kitchen with them. There is no even a mosquito. Jon said to Mum that he thinks he eats better when camping with Mum than home. We ended up building our tent inside a room to keep mosquito away. It is a holiday park Taiwanese version. Mum cooked lots of foods - that's reason everyone likes to take mum with them when traveling. When it is time to sleep, I went to check Mum's tent. She brought with her a small suitcase, it has her blanket and pillow she uses at home. Her friends have got the mattress ready - all she needs to do is to lay down and hide under the duvet. That is actually very cute because Mum looks so tiny. During dinner, Master Xiu explained us what is TaiChi - it is something that cannot be described or explained. The moment you tried to do it, you are wrong already. (Funny thing is after we returned home, they had a Saturday morning lesson obviously it is about how to be soft, Master Xiu taught them how to be pushed and not moved. Mum came home and said to me, you try to push me, Ok, I can really not move her at all. Few hours later, we ran into Mum's TaiChi friend in the festival, she also said, you try to push me now!)
