Happy Taiwan Day & Sad Farewell Party

Today is Taiwan National Day (10/10), and my supervisor invited me and fellow co-workers and friends to her house for a party.

Dahu Park MRT Station

My co-workers and I met at the MRT station first and strolled around in Dahu Park before we headed to the host's home.

There were some fishermen in the fishing area. Near the fishermen were Intermediate and Little Egrets waiting for get little fishes that the fishermen do not want.

Afterwards, we walked to our supervisor's home, where we had a great feast and wonderful time together. They even presented me with a surprise gift. After a wonderful lunch and a satisfied belly, we hiked to a mountain trail behind the house and headed towards a waterfall promised to be a wonderful scenic view. And indeed it was.

While crossing the (above) bridge, we saw a Formosan Gossamerwing.

What a beautiful habitat!

The beautiful (unnamed) waterfall as promised! I think I will call it Waterfall of Good Memories!
