擂茶 @ Harbourfont

今天有一見有趣的事情發生..

因為這幾天Harbourfront Centre有在辦Luminato這個活動, 所有活動人潮都很多..
但是昨天下午我得知消息說有一個泡茶活動因為主辦跟活動展示單位有溝通問題所以面臨停辦的危機. 這時候這ㄇ辦ㄋ?
當然請我們ILT出面處理阿! (結果後來沒有王叔叔還有賴伯伯也是辦不成的)...
王叔叔就選擇利用這個機會展示我們台灣客家文化的傳統擂茶. 示範由賴伯伯負責而Yoyo, Raymond還有我單單負責翻譯, 幫忙客人嘗試, 拉客等等. 雖然準備時間一天不到, 但是後來感覺上整個表演一切都很成功, 不單有20-30個人來品嘗, 賴伯伯也準備了一個具有特色的半小時解說.

這場活動表示了什麼ㄋ?
ILT隨叫隨到...!

FCSO and ILT Day Trip for Doors Open Toronto

多倫多門戶大開..中文解說導覽活動

Welcome to the FCSO blog.. We have been talking about having a website for quite a while now, but with all the hassle and expenses relating to creating a fully functioning website, its probably a better idea to start with a blog..

Anyways, for all of you that missed our one day trip around some of the Doors Open attractions last sunday, heres a short recap...

It started early in the morning at 9:00 am, I don't think many of the volunteers (including me) were fully awake yet at that time. We have two school buses with around 38-40 people on each not including us.

Bus A's Trip:

1) BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
2) Courtyard House
3) Lunch
4) Spadina Museum
5) Casa Loma

Bus B's Trip

1) BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
2) Montgomery's Inn
3) Lunch
4) Casa Loma
5) Spadina Museum

So as you can see, it was going to be quite a full day...
We had around 10 volunteers show up that day including our semi-professional photographer Michael.

Our first spot was the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir which is a newly built Hindu Temple in the west side of the city. As you can see in the photos it was quite a masterpiece.

2008年多倫多門戶大開活動,我愛多倫多青年工作團隊今年以10名義工,兩部校車,帶領85位社區貴賓以中文作參觀導覽;第一站為本年度活動超人氣推薦景點..BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir,位於207高速公路北的印度神廟.


神廟庭園及2007年落成之新大理石建築外觀















新建神廟是由24,000片手工精雕的大理石以無鋼筋手法拼合而成.















Alot of people showed up that day and I think the Toronto Star mentioned it as being one of the most see destinations this year. Luckily we arrived early and skipped most of the lineup.

A few of our 義工爸爸 showed up for the event too!













Heres also a picture of some of our volunteers that day.
幫大家翻譯解說景點資料的義工們.




















After this, on my bus at least, we went to the courtyard house.. It was an interesting place to say the least, it was built buy a designer that envisioned a simple yet efficient design of a living space that can be used anywhere.
第二站參觀多次獲得建築設計獎的..庭園小築,裡面有很多令人讚嘆的巧思與精工哦.




















Here is a picture of King describing our next stop, Spadina Museum.
年輕新義工第一次參與解說服務,謹慎卻穩健.













However before we got to Spadina Museum everybody was already pretty hungry so we stopped at a park and grabbed lunch before continuing.
樹下分享餐盒.














Heres a picture of Spadina Museum on the outside.
Spadina博物館的外觀.














After this we headed over to Casa Loma... Unfortunatly part of the castle was closed for renovations on that day and the entrance fees were pretty high so we just took a quick look around the gardens and the stables.



















Finally, lets take a sneak peak at what the other group was doing at this time...































Anyways hope everyone enjoyed the short picture tour...
Stay tuned for our next exciting trip!

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for the next event please give us a email at formosa3636@gmail.com.

ILT Volunteer Gathering

These pictures are from our first ILT gathering this year.. it was held February 5th at the Japanese restaurant in Empress Walk, just under the empire theatres...

The cameras a bit blurry (sorry my camera sucks) and the smoke kind of clouds the second photo.
Oh well, so long you can see that almost everyone was there!! :)
