... leg outside of the raft so when they would run into us they would be pretty much be on top of us. Anyways, we headed out into the river with about 15 other rafts and a total of about 7 motorized boats. From the start all the boats of Taiwanese thought it was more fun to splash the raft of foreigners than it was to actually paddle down the river. We would be paddling through rapids while a raft of Taiwanese are going through the rapids sideways and splashing us. We then ...

... had built and just took some photos instead. Once inside, there really wasn't much to see, everything was grand and big. In the main hall stood a god of heaven on each of the four corners so that no matter where you stand, there is someone looking at you ... very intimidating. The museum is due to open on October 3rd and looking at the stuff I've collected, it was actually advertised in one of the brochures in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. We ...

... the evening came, people laid out stalls of goods outside their houses, spilling onto the street, stalls selling hot food, trucks full of oranges, pineapples, melons. There were motorbike repair shops, with drawers full of tools and replacement parts. Strolling around we were looking straight into peoples living rooms, families were eating, old ladies watching tv, old men playing card games. It felt a bit like we were intruding, it was ...

... 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 ...

... etwas bescheidene) Kirschbluete zu bewundern. Auf dem Weg haben wir viele, sehr verschiedene Landschaften gesehen, von Sandstrand und Kuestenregionen, ueber tropische Walder mit allerlei Pflanzen, die wir nur aus dem Gewaechshaus kennen, wie z.B. riesige Baumfarne, Lianen, Palmen, Trompetenblumen, etc. Und weiter oben auf fast 3000m sah es dann fast nach Schwarzwald aus, ausser dass am Boden buschiger kleiner Bambus wuchs. Diese Vielfalt auf kleinstem Raum ...

... and then hope I can sleep. Many days later I learn that there are midget mosquitos with a huge appetite and leaving even bigger itching swellings. Not very rested I wake up at 7:15 am and have my breakfast in the garden ( Bought hamburger with Nescafe - can't compare to Ylan Cats ). I then walk to the Tzu Chi Buddhist complex, actually along the same road. It's really impressive. In a huge park in Japanese/ Chinese style ...

... their loss. On June 12, 2007 the court sentenced the NP for a 10 Mio NTD payment to the victims and Mr. Huang to a prison term. I have experienced this man as very competent and deligent public servant. I do not think that a natural desaster can be blamed on a person, and the whole National Park with its roads is predestined to be hit by natural desasters. How can someone be made personal criminal liable for such an event, as terrible as the event ...
