Nono presents a comedy program in Taiwan! He is very famous here! Nono and his staff came to the farm to recording a program! I didn´t understand a word about what they were saying, but I think it was everything very funny, because everybody was laughing a lot! They recorded in the Rice Culture Experimental Area and after, they ate a traditional food made in bamboos!! People who work in the farm, said that it wasn´t the first time that a famous person came here to record a program.

Hi! My name´s Camila and I´m from São Paulo, Brazil. I´m doing my development traineeshep in Yilan County, Taiwan by AIESEC. Thanks LC INSPER for that experience!
