So fast Day 11 n 12 of our pre-school round taiwan trip is coming to an end. Tmr morning we are taking the 930am train back to Taipei to check into our hostel in NTUST. Its been a fulfilling, engaging and memorable 12 days in different parts of Taiwan island. I would say I thoroughly enjoyed myself, no matter which city i was in.
In Hualien, we went to quite a number of places. First day we went to catch the Amei Tribe dance performance. They are realli young, but 18 or 19 years old and they perform to earn some allowance for their school life. Though I wasn planning to buy anything, but I bought a tribal headwear in the end to help aid their cause. After that it was off to a night market where we set of mini fireworks near the beach.
For the 2nd day, we went to Taroko Gorge and stopped by various cliffs and rapids there. The most memorable experience was walking barefoot through one of the caves there, and we experienced how its like being beneath the huge waterfall at Taroko Gorge. The waters seeped right thru the cave and poured down upon us. It was pretty cold but a fun encounter with nature's strength n power. For the night we went to sing karaoke till late as it was our last night together before heading back to our various universities for our orientation n checking into our hostel.
Will update more n post more pics when I settle into my hostel and all. Meanwhile jus to let u all know I be back in Taipei and my contact number is +886 913543707 in case of any emergency.
