Tainen


















Today we went to another county in the south, called Tainan. Tainan is almost the oldest city in Taiwan with a lot of nice places. We went to the national park and the calligraphy museum, and had lunch at a Taiwanese fast food restaurant. I had noodles and also some shrimp rolls, which I really liked. We had mango pudding after lunch from a shop nearby, it was lovely and I must try it once more.

We had dinner at an Italian Taiwanese restaurant, and I had pasta with chicken and vegetables! It was wonderful.

Messaging body seems to be very important in Taiwan as all the shops have sth for message, either wooden or electrical! I bought an electrical one today and a wooden tool some days ago.

Tea is a Taiwanese tradition, and they drink tea, both cold and hot every single hour. Wherever we go, we surely drink the tea! They even have green tea ice cream! which looks fantastic and tastes great! I like cold green tea, and my host have given me a package to take home, plus two special cups for hot greet tea! They are lovely...

Today we had a boat trip around the lake in Tainan. It was a hot day but still wonderful with the great hosts and the amazing Taiwan!

Update on me

It's been a long time since I last wrote in here. I am not working on my second master's degree's thesis. I am not sure if writing in this blog regularly makes any sense as it was first created for my Taiwan trip. I have another blog which I update at times, I'd be happy to be followed by my SayTaiwan friends. I write my opinions and thoughts on many issues in that weblog. Click  Here  to see my other blog. Thanks in advance!
It is now a year since I traveled to Taiwan, and I can visibly see how I have changed. I have grown up and gained lots of experience...can't say if I feel good about it or not as I am not as cheerful and happy as before,  but I guess this is a sign of growth and wisdom. Last year at this time I was not a student and now I am, having passed a full academic year and should be doing my internship and writing my thesis this year. Maybe the only worry I have now is my internship. I am not yet sure where I will be doing my internship... I need to complete my research and publish at least one of my works by next August. This is a promise to myself!

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 ...
