An outing for 3 young-at-heart.
Pak Yusof, 65, my neighbour 2 doors away, invited me and his friend Taurik for an outing to a grape farm in Sendayan, Negri Sermban.
Sendayan is a small rural town surrounded by rubber and oil palm plantations, about 20 kms from Port Dickson and 55 kms from Kajang.
It is called Sendayan valley grapes and fruits Farm covering an area of about 50 hectres. According to its website, it is supposed to be a agro-tourism park showcasing latest technologies of grape growing from Thailand.
It is a joint venture founded in 2008 with the state government and supported by The Ministry of Finance.(My understanding of 'support' means financial support)
Understanding its background, I am not surprise at all to see a farm with no visitors, rundown empty reception area and harvest-less fruit farm...
However, the farm and plants are quite well maintained with about 7 workers. There are 4 University ITM farm Management Course students doing practical training in the farm.
Pak Yusof, a grape planting enthusiast, picked up some tips from the workers and the students. He has planted 3 grapevines in his home compound.
It was a great learning experience for me and was happy with the trip.

三位人老心不老者的户外活动。
我的隔两家邻居尤索夫（Pak Yusof ），约了我及他的另一位朋友，去游览坐落在森美兰州，三达扬镇的一座葡萄园。这葡萄园离开加影大约55公里，波德申则是20公里。
这座葡萄园的正确名称为『三达扬谷葡萄及果园』 ，面积大约50公顷。
根据它的网页，这是一座自然旅游的果园，展示来自泰国最新的葡萄种植技术。
该园成立于2008年，是与州政府联营，并得到国家财政部的支持。（这里所说的支持，我的了解应该是融资）
了解了这果园的背景，我丝毫没有惊讶的见到一座没有观光客的果园，空荡荡的接待处，没有出产的果园。。。
不过，整个果园及果树还算照顾的相当不错。果园
这里共有7位工人，及4位实习的学院生。
尤索夫对种植葡萄有兴趣，所以从工作人员处得到许多有用的贴上。他的家就种了三棵葡萄树。
这是我一个很好的学习体验，也很满意这次的活动。 (面子书Facebook 照片）
