2 Days Before Leaving :(

Today is Thursday in Taiwan, two more days to Saturday, when we'll be leaving!!! Not the greatest thing in the world... but I don't mind being back home. However, more on today...

The highlight of today: We visited Maokong, and we went to one of its popular places, the Maokong Gondola! It was a really nice sight, and pics below. The three stops: the Taipei Zoo (which I was too tired to visit), Zhinan Temple, and the last stop, Maokong. Obvious name, no? Going up, we took the regular gondola, but going back down, we took the "Crystal Cabin." Want to guess what that's supposed to mean? Well, nothing crystal about it, but the floor was glass, so it was see-through... pretty cool... pics below:






                                                                   Eeek! Broccoli!
                                                         The floor!!! It's see-through!!!


Seriously, the view was amazing! Unfortunately, the trees reminded me a little too much of a certain vegetable (*ahem... broccoli) and I had quite the "delicious" nightmare as we soared across chunks of the vegetable in question...

However, overall very relaxing and nice view that I would definitely recommend.

And if your not up for heights, there are lots of other places around Maokong (exhibits, sites, etc.) Perhaps the Taipei Zoo would suit you! Until next time! And enjoy summer all my fellow bronies and pegasisters, Season 4 is coming! Fret not, Equestria Girls can't be ALL bad...

Taipei: Day... I Don't Know QQ

I have been absent from my blog for a little while... and since its impossible for me to catch up... I'm starting from today! Just 6 more countdown days till I leave Taiwan... it's really too sad. But yesterday and today:

6/3:

So tired!!! I'm still sore from yesterday. Of course, the normal breakfast but then! We went nature walking(!) in really hot weather. Extremely hot... it was very beautiful... but not comfortable at all... and I got home with sticky, and wet with sweat. The view was excellent though, a picturesque mountainous area. However, the con: the river water wasn't cold at all... *sighs (must-deal-with-stupid-HEAT!)





Today 6/4:

I did nothing and I'm proud of it!!! Actually, I took a fabulous walk in the park... and watched old people sing karaoke, quite interesting. In truth, its a delightful thing to see old people communicating instead of cooped up at home, if not hilarious to watch them belt out tunes :D Because my iPod is currently not with me (under someones pillow actually, and that person in question is sleeping) I can't upload any pics... however, I'll make sure too!
