Rock in Taichung
A trip with my friends during the National Day Holiday
Going to a music festival with friends is a must for teens and young adults to fulfill the weekend vibe. During the National Day Holiday, my friends and I went to Taichung to attend a two-day music festival called “Rock in Taichung”. It was the first time that I took part in a two-day music festival, and it was really an amazing experience full of excitement and joy.
Most songs that played in the music festival were familiar to me. However, unlike the songs that I listen to on streaming services, they sound totally different when people around us dance to the rhythm of the music. During the day, the sunshine shone on us and everything was sparkling when the audience in front of the stage danced in a circle. There was even a flagman leading the crowds with the colorful flag. It was also the first time that I joined Moshing, which is an extreme style of dancing in which participants push or slam into each other when the bands on the stage are performing. Although it started raining when it got dark, none of us was affected by the bad weather. Instead, we started enjoying the breezing air and the cold water droplets dropping on our faces.
All in all, my first two-day music festival was an extraordinary experience. The trip to Taichung not only strengthened the friendship between us but also aroused my interest in attending the next music festival.
