... the new year celebration of the Itashao tribe, it still wasn’t very happening. Perhaps I’m being overly critical but that was how I felt at the time.

So after a very underwhelming experience, we decided to go for a walk along the marked trail by the lake. Again, it wasn’t all too exciting as it was getting towards to quiet part of the lake. There was a point on the trail where it directly lined up a mountain (forgot the name), Xuan ...

... to describe the interior decorations but they were really nicely done and cozy. So, have to see for yourself. I ordered a milk steamboat and my friend ordered a chicken drumstick set. He claimed that it's very good!

After the experience, you can also pick your own souvenirs worth 100 NT dollars! 14:30~16:30 ...

... to chodi tak, ze to, co si naberes ti pak zvazi a dle vahy platis. Ne vsak v teto. Zde to ma pod palcem energicka taiwanska panmama, ktera bystre koukne na obsah krabicky a dle toho vyhrkne cenu. Obycejne se pohybuji mezi 80 a 90 TWD, nekdy si prijdu i na zajimavych 84. Myslim si, ze to spis zalezi na onom danem dni. Kazdopadne jsem presvedcena, ze kdybychom platili za vahu, tak na tom budeme mnohem hure. Pokud cenu podelite dvema, dostanete se na ...

Dnes byl fajnovy den. Dnes by krasne schnulo pradlo, protoze je vedro jak v peci. Jenze ja zrovna neprala. Budu prat zitra, tak snad neprijde tajfun. Neprijde, ja ho totiz sleduju.

Slava. Je to tam podobne jako ve vyvarovne u Buddhy, jen nabidka neni ...

... city of Jiji was not as spectacularly affected. It is a large tourist attraction still, mostly for the Jiji railroad that will take passengers on a ride to the interior of the island. We don't have time to ride the railroad, but we did get to mingle with the tourists and shopkeepers out for the weekend. Melinda, Ted, and Shuying purchased fresh coconuts complete with straws to drink the milk. I wandered off to look for train souvineers for my boys. All of our mingling is stressing ...

... 12/day rental. Taroko's scenery was jaw dropping. The roads were mostly excellent quality - a pleasant surprise in a not-quite-first-world place like Taiwan, and doubly so given the terrain. A couple different shrines around the gorge commemorate the hundreds of workers who lost their lives building it. The never-straight road weaves around the contours of the ludicrously steep gorge, through frequent tunnels that range in length from brief to epic. Some ...

Our latest travels took us to the mountains. It was hard to believe, that after the intense urban grunge wallop that Taiwan's cities deliver so effectively that there could be peace and tranquility at any place on Isla Formosa. We found that beauty in the region of Nantou, in the interior of the island, where we visited Chung Tai Chan monastery with Eva's friend and former junior high school instructor, Teacher Ho (that's her name-- in Chinese you say something approximating Ho Lau ...
