... We waited for about 30 min. on the shore. When they finally got everything under control we finished the course right where the river meets the Pacific Ocean. Our boat turned out to be one of 2 or 3 that didn't lose anyone or tip over at all. We were very proud of how well we did. We truly could have done the whole river without their help. We were amazing!<br><br>Besides all the madness that was going on down the river it was so pretty because the river cut through ...

... anyway. I got back to the hotel and once again just stayed there until dinner time and we went down. There really wasn't anything to do at night and I tried to use the internet. The computer was possibly the slowest computer in the world and is in a desperate need of a good defragging or format. I think there were a lot of mosquitos there too as both my arms have been bitten like no tomorrow. I decided to have an early night and went to bed around midnight.

... a prize, even archery and karaoke. There was a paddling pool full of baby turtles with paper-clips on their backs and kids trying to pick them up with magnets on strings, a bit like a real life flounders game. We found a nice cafe on the beach for dinner and cocktails - called Saint Pink. Today I started to really enjoy Taiwan, Taipei was a bit of a culture shock, a massive busy city, here in HuaLien people say hello and are very welcoming.

... with the passing boats. It is a magnificent scene to watch tons of whales and dolphins leaping in the sea and the beautiful Turtle island at the same time. The best season for whale watching is between April to September. Don't let the opportunity go by if you are interested. 13:20~14:50--River recreational agriculture area in Lo-tung "Taste meal in Yilan " The ...

... village people in the communal and homestay restaurant, book reading on the outdoor platform of the coffee shop with an excellent Cafe Latte and a waffle, enjoying the spectecular vistas on the valleys and mountains 2000m and above. After dinner, which I either take with the village people or with the teachers in the restaurant or with my friends in their home we hold our English sessions from 7:00pm to 9 ...

... pomale, pak pro vyuku. Tchajwanci, jak sami rikaji, moc plavat neumi, takze jejich styl je mnohdy skutecne zabavny, navic strasne strikaji vodu kolem dokola. Nejake spolecne sprchovani ci ukazovani nahoty se nekona. Sprchy jsou oddelene a uzavrene dvermi, prevleka se ve sprchach a samozrejme ta plovaci cepice. Tu uz jsem na hlave nemela leta. Ale citim se moc dobre. Mam radost, ze zas delam neco pro sve telo a nezahnivam.ana pa vsem jana

Dnes jsem opet bloudila. Radeji jsem tedy nastopila do metra a jela na stanici, kterou znam. Kupuji si elektronickou kartu do metra busu, takze uz nemusim hledat drobne. Jeste ve stredu jsem vyhledala Adama, co jsem mu psala jeste v Praze a ktery studuje na Karlovce. Pozoruhodny mladik. Zvlastne v tom, ze je zde na rok na cinstinu a pak se bude hlasit jeste na magistra take zde. Celkem tedy tri roky. A doma ma babu. Tak nevim. Ale rikal neco o tom, ze Taiwanky ...

... Holz. Riesiege gedrechselte, massive Gefaesse, mit schoener Maserung und einem Deckel, der einen intensiven Duft freiliess, wenn man ihn oeffnet. Sicherlich am besondersten waren schliesslich Bambusgegenstaende, wie z.B. Schalen, Staebchen, Moebel und vor allem Magic-Boxen, die mit einem versteckten Verschluss versehen sind, der sich nur durch schuetteln, klopfen, druecken, drehen, etc. oeffnen laesst. Wir haben es tatsaechlich nicht geschaft, die Kisten ...

... Immediately two men with perfect English take care of me, lead me to an area where they show me a video about the social and humanitarian activities of the Tzu Chi order. I am served green tea. Then a lady, who does not speak much English leads me through the exhibition located on two floors, all in really elegant design. I still can understand most as I had seen the video and much is self explaining. She then stops at ...

... is at Swallow Grotto were after a short time also some busses stop. They have to stop here because the road is only opened for 10 minutes every hour due to construction work. So we are joined by tourists from Mainland China - I can immediatelly feel it as they do not get into any interaction with us. In contrast Taiwanese people usually begin a friendly conversation. A bit earlier we were lucky that we could pass the construction site just at the ...
