Hello! I'm Andrew Bonello from Melbourne Australia, and this is something I've been saying I'd definitely do for quite a while! So... 你好! 我是柏安佐從墨爾本,澳洲來.這是我很久以來想做的事! 所以...




Practice run; Dadaocheng ~ 實行; 大稻逞

 ...I will embark on a 2 week journey cycling around this AMAZING country, in the name of a great cause, AND a great adventure!
Saturday FEBRUARY 19th, AT 9am, starting  AT Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall - My ride around the island begins.
I hope you will join me if you can, if you feel fit enough, if you feel like having a lot of fun, for an hour, a whole day, a whole week, or even two!

If not, please try to support my chosen charity: The GARDEN OF HOPE foundation; supporting the woman and children of our wonderful world, sadly affected by sexual abuse, trafficking, and domestic violence..

  2. Well, Andrew,

    「實行」for "Practice Run" is quite a wonderful translation twist. Maybe it is good to inspire more people to connect a "test bicycle ride", with what you are REALLY "putting into practice".

    Normally for bicycle riders, they might use "練騎" for "test ride".

    Dadaocheng should be 大稻埕, instead 大稻逞.
    It must be the tones' confusion, or a simple typo.

    But already I can see you are on the right track!
    Way to go!
