I went for my first and only fruit picking today! As you can already see from the title of this post, my colleagues, (YW, WX, JK) and I went for strawberry picking. 
We (or rather WX) drove for about an hour to East Bay just for the strawberries.
I filled up my basket quite quickly compared to the others. Maybe that explained why my hand-picked strawberries are not very sweet. WX kept eating the strawberries while picking them. I wanted to do that, but I saw ants, spiders, cobwebs and numerous other insects near those strawberry plants. All I could think of was there are millions of disgusting-harmful microbes on the strawberry surface! However, after a while, I force myself to eat one too. Maybe this will boost my immune system. I am still feeling fine now. 
We had fun searching for funny-looking strawberries. I only kept one of them as I am certainly not going to eat those funny-looking ones.

My poor shoes, stained by squashed strawberries. Just washed them and let them out to dry. Hopefully my shoes are still as good as new.
Enjoying my not-so-sweet strawberries now.
Note: I really need to improve my mandarin. 95% of the time, I do not understand what were my colleagues talking about. Luckily, the patient YW explained to me in English if there was any part of the conversation which she thought was interesting or when I asked her to explain.
