Trip to Kenting! (but no pics, sorry)

Due to corrupted data on my SD card, I lost all my cool pictures of Kenting this weekend! ARRGH!
Oh well, I had a blast, lots of snorkeling and scootering around, hiking in the National Forest, etc.
It has a cool night market too, lots of delicious things to eat. I tried a pineapple-cheese stuffed potato for the first time in my life :D It was better than it sounds. haha!

It was pretty touristy, but the water was clear and warm, and most people don't actually swim in the water, they splash on the shore. Especially in the morning, I had the whole cove to myself even at a crowded spot.

Well, now I have the itch to go back to the east coast for my 4-day weekend coming up... the question is: where? So many choices. Taidong? Hualian? Yi Lan? Lan Yu? Hopefully, wherever I end up going, my pictures aren't erased this time...

Pros and Cons

I guess I'm not cut out for "blogging". Sorry folks.

But I have been doing some reflecting on Taiwan, what I like, what I will miss, and what I won't. Here's the preliminary result:

I will miss:
the food. oooo sooooo delicious. :P*
the people. I've been treated really really kindly by everyone I've met. seriously the most hospitable people I've encountered.
the weather. i love the heat. everyday is warm, i can ride my scooter wearing a t-shirt at any time of day or night. only during the summer months do I feel it is TOO hot. it is sooo comfortable.

I won't miss:
driving in Taiwan. my life flashes before my eyes at every intersection. seriously.
being a pedestrian in Taiwan. because 1. sidewalks are spotty at best and 2. lack of sidewalks puts you right next to those insanely dangerous drivers mentioned above.
pollution. don't like that part at all.

OK, that's all I've got for now. I'll write more as it comes to me.
