Notes from TAIWAN

It is both winter and not winter in Taiwan as of now. If all of you are suitably confused (as I fully intended, HA!) I shall endeavour to enlighten you lesser beings on the finer points of Taiwanese weather. The further south you go, the hotter it is. Don't ask me why. I went from shivering to stripping. ((: Cool, eh? But I'm starting in the middle of nowhere.

This, is the changing of the guards, at some place. HEY! Don't blame me okay. This land of Taiwan happens to use my favourite language, MANDARIN. With ACCENTS that are unfanthomable. AND using the olden form of the written words too. HOW I survived there I shall never know. *sighs with pride*
Anyway, I'm SUPER PROUD of my superb angle when I took this photo, cos alot of tourists were jostling to get front row shots. SO. I noticed this Japanese man videoing the whole entire thing (the arm on the right of the photo is his, HE MOVED when I took the photo thus effectively inserting himself into my marvellous shot) and NOBODY was in his way. o.O Therefore, being the opportunist that I am, I sidled up next to him and made full use of his vantage point by placing my camera under his arm (= under his video cam but of course not directly UNDER his armpit la, I'm not some pervert). Am I a genius or WHAT.

Okay. This is their fishball. Seriously. HUGE. GIGANTUMOUS. MAMMOTH. And it's made of SHARK meat. Or is it whale? I dunno la! My poor grasp of the Chinese language was really getting to me by then.

This is some really cool sea. I KNOW this is called the Yin Yang Sea, cos yin and yang is the SAME in English and Chinese and who doesn't know that Sea is 'Hai' in Chinese?! You can't really see it in this picture but the sea has 2 colours. It was a really clear distinction too. o.O My sister got all excited about it.

This is ME. Yes, you can totally tell by my yellow bag, but that's not the point. The point is the beautiful scenary in front of me.
This is stupid photo no. 1!!! ((: I love taking stupid photos.
This picture just speaks for itself. If you really dunno what we're trying to do, please. Come find me. I'll personally give you a good shake to determine the size of your brain. This photo's taken while we were waiting for the train. Taiwan's English, is nothing short of erm. Not very good. Hahahha...as I will further demonstrate later. By the way. This sign doesn't really make any sense whatsoever. As Ah Sam pointed out, 'if I'm not waiting that means I can cross?!' LOL.
Stupid photo no. 2 HEH HEH. This is at some pebble beach. Which means instead of sand you get pebbles. Duh right. But then again, this is 'Pebble Beach for Dummies' Those who clicked help.
Ok. I give up. My sister says I'm unproductive and so I shall be. HAHAHHAA. So part 1 of my trip shall end HERE.
