They have good use of technology in a 4D diorama as well.<br><br>After a quick visit to the seaside - and a paddle - could have swum had I known - and another excellent seafood lunch which included battered mussels we headed for the local important temple - Nanputuo - which has been mostly rebuilt because it was bombed by the Japanese but is built on the side of another mountain made out of granite blobs.

... can afford one. In fact the difference in costs for a meal are indicative of a major divide - you can still get a meal for less than 50p or you can pay well over 20 pounds (which is what our fish meal cost). Afterwards it's back on the ferry and off in a rather uncomfortable mini bus (unfortunately) to the Hakka homelands. <br><br>These roads take us up into the mountains and away from the coast, passing more banana trees than I have ever seen before.

... soothing melodies of the clarinetist practicing a few floors above us in our apartment. Booking our flight home recently has made us anxious to move on, though.

We are anxious to get home, where people say, "sorry," when you bump into them and where 'defensive driving' is practiced and not considered some exotic ...

Why is it this way, why has it always been this way and how long will it continue? Maybe the future of `MANkind´ would be safer with a bit of a shift in the sands over time!

They have double decker beds *inside* the bus. The bed are quite small. You have a small compartment-like thing to put your feet.
