Sun Moon Lake
















Sun Moon Lake is called so because it has the shape of the sun and the moon. Today we went there with many other guests and their hosts. It was amazing and I think if you travel to Taiwan, it is absolutely a must see place!

Then we had lunch and went to Aboriginal Village! It was great and I couldn't believe they were real. The view was amazing and we got on a cable car to go to the mountains and saw the sun moon lake from above. It was fantastic and I loved it. The cable car was super clean and new!

We then went to a Caribbean Water Splash and got into the boat to slide all the way from above! It was exciting and we couldn't even scream because it was so scary for a couple of seconds. I loved it and we all got totally wet, specially by the post splashes after we came down the slide. It was so fun and we laughed so much :)

We also went to detonator which was very scary, and I regretted after it went up, but it was so late. Then it came down soooo fast. I am happy I went to that because it was a nice experience and I enjoyed it at last!

We had dinner at Sushi Express. It was my first time eating sushi at a Japanese restaurant, and I loved the way they served it. The foods were passing in front of us and we could choose whatever we wanted!

Tomorrow we are going to Kenting without our host families. Me, Isabel, Lilya and Kate! I think we will have lots of fun there! The hotel is already booked for us and we will spend most of our time in the beach, most probably!

Salt Farms

Everyday of my stay in Taiwan with my host family is more amazing than the day before! I have been having a lot of fun since I came and I am so excited about that. Today we visited Chiayi University and went to its library. We then went shopping in PLAZA and after that we headed to Solar Exploration Center which was really cool. After that we visited the salt mountain and went to the seashore, which was really good. We did a bunch of jumping photos with some school guys and went to the salt farm altogether! There the man in charge explained to us how they process that sea salt and we also went to the farm and worked with them. It was my first experience and was so much fun! I also tried an ice cream which was salty and had nuts in it. I liked it although the taste was so strange for me! At night we had a barbecue and we helped the locals wrap fish in aluminium and then salt and then on fire. It was really good and I ate a lot. We also barbecued pork, corn, oysters,

Taiwanese Art

Today we had even more fun! We went to a lot of pottery and farmland museums and enjoyed the beautiful artworks of Taiwan. My host, Frank, or Super Frank as we call him, knows everyone in this county. He is just great! I had noodles with sesemi sauce for lunch, in a local restaurant and it was nice! For dinner, we had Haka meal again, at a restaurant and it was better than the previous one. I ate beef, fish and vegetables! We had a special desert at Lilyia's host's beautiful big house, and I liked it! It contained soymilk jelly and ice, etc. Steven and his wife are really nice gorgeous couple with 2 cute kids! After dinner, we went to a foot message salon, and had our feet in herb steam for more than half an hour. It was so fun and relaxing! I drank cold green tea and relaxed! The guy then told us if we had any health problems, and he said I was completely HEALTHY! Feeling so confident now :D I need to sleep now because we should get up early tod

Night Market

There is one thing I forgot about yesterday, we had a visit to a place where an old guy made soybean sauce! It was my first time seeing the process of this sauce, and I found that it is very hard and time consuming! The beans had to be in big jars for half a year!!! The man was so hard working and kind... Today my host and the other guests in Chungain went to sculpture museum in the nearby city, which was an hour and a half away by car. It was amazing but unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos. There were excuisite wood carvings and I loved them, then we bought some souvenirs at the market nearby! Then we went for lunch at a restaurant and had Haka meal, which is a combination of a lot of foods in the middle of table, with rice of course! It was OK but not exactly my type, so I mostly took sprouts and a little chicken and vegetables. We tried candies there in markets and got a package as a gift from our hosts. After lunch we went to the National Museum of Arts in whic
