I recently came across this beautiful swimming centre, and I've now dedicated myself to go this place for at least a day per week! It is in Taichung and I haven't actually seen it advertised on the internet yet. However, as the forgetful person I am -- I've actually...
Today, I was busy and missed my Mandarin classes and instead went for a military checkup at a military hospital called "803 hospital" when translated into English from Mandarin. It was kind of weird as I was the only westerner signing up for the required military...
Yesterday, I turned up to Feng-Chia for the first time in 4 days and all I could see was a sea of people. Previous to the four days, everything was calm and relaxed and there was hardly anyone on the streets or around the night market. It was as if things had 'died...

Today I went with my cousin and her boyfriend to a pretty nice BBQ! It was pretty nice. I guess I learned more Chinese, since everyone at the BBQ couldn't speak a word of English. Although there was an old man there who had a electronic dictionary. Which translates...
Taken at Sun Moon Lake around 3 months ago on a normal hot and sunny day in Taiwan. Sometimes I moan at the weather for being too hot. But the beauty that is apparent when the sun gleams upon the plants and the general area makes the environment glow. Everything also...
Travelling for me is more than just going to another place in the world. It is about learning new cultures, the history, and generally getting to see how things are done in other countries. There is a certain richness to those who are well travelled.
