interviews with

Horsestable construction

workers

90.12.09

¡@When Mr.Hsu and Ms.Dong were taking the students on the field trip to explore the "Horsestable hotspring region", students and teachers alike were surprised at the messy pipelines and wondering why it seems different from the books, they accidentally bump into a construction worker named Lee, and so seized the great opportunity to educate our students how to conduct an actual interview:

1, interview:How do you know where the hotsprings are?Where can you get pipelines?

Ans: Hotsprings need to be found and developed. There are two kinds: one is natural, the other we need to channel the water through the groundheat region.

2, interviews:Please tell us where we can find the natural kind?

Ans:You need to look for them. Usually they're in the inner part of mountains.

3, interviews :What kind of hotspring are you channeling right now?

Ans:Usually just normal spring water, and then add some hotspring which ran through groundheat.

4, interview:What "water" are you channeling?

Ans:Mostly mountain springs.

5, interview:Are the ones here mostly a combination of both?

Ans:There are both kinds.

6, interview:This is a protected area. Do you get permits working here? Where do you apply for such a permit?

Ans:Yes!We need to apply to the Yangmingshan National Park office.

7, interview:Have you ever witnessed a mountain collapse?

Ans:Not personally, but I can guess it because I come here often and every time after a typhoon, everything looks very different. Roads become little rivers.

8, interview:Are the springs here white sulfur or green?

Ans:Both. The color really depends on the contents of the spring. For example, sometimes the water appears milky, other times they appear reddish, due to the iron contained in them.

9, interview:How long have you worked here?

Ans:Not too long.

10, interview :Are there specific routes that you channel the waters with? Did the Yangmingshan office set up such a route for you?

Ans:Yangmingshan office don't really plan a route for us. We can pretty much decide ourselves. You know, water always flow downwards.

10, interview :Does the Yangmingshan office have any opinion as to the messy pipelines here?

Ans:They don't manage that well, and didn't plan too precisely, so they don't really care. Sometimes even people without licenses come here and set up pipelines.
