To the Mountains-Neiwan





NEIWAN

On Saturday "the Gang" headed out to Neiwan. We got started early because Linda's cousin was coming down for the day. She arrived about 9:45. SO, we headed out. The sad story is that the Train from Downtown to the Neiwan was under construction so we had to find the bus. Finding the bus was it's own fiasco, but after Ya-Ru( Linda's cousin from Taipei) arrived she happily helped us find it ( it's nice to have someone that can communicated).

After getting on the bus.. to the train.. to neiwan.. ( long trip). On the Train, I sat next to some really nice Taiwanese people. It started when they took a picture of me( With out me looking... Kinda strange). It's funny how much I didn't realize that people really do look at us Foreigners. It's even worse when your walking around with Jeroen G who is 6' 5" or so. All the people see him and walk up and say " Gao" ( aka Tall). It's really funny.


walking through the markets we got to try unique foods to the region. It is really interesting to go places and see new stuff that you really don't know.


After walking through the market we found a GoCart( Who know they would have Go Carts in the mountains in the middle of no where. ) I made a Video of the Go Carts... and it was sure fun.. Take a look.

I've Decided to leave my Full Resolution Video for the blog. SOO, it is Hosted on my computer. ( which may not always be connected... Check Back later if the video is not available).

After the Go Carts we made it over and walked to the Hot Spring Spa.. thing. Found some awesomely big fish ( 14+ Inches)





.. And Flying Kids...


.. and this was just cute at the local Temple...


made it back down the mountain safe ( took a nap). Ya-ru hadn't seen Linda's campus and room yet, so we made it back to Campus ... etc. We needed something to do that night so we Ran out and saw "surrogate".. Movie is good enough.
