Kaoshiung, Kending, Taipei, Ilan, Taroko, Xin nian kuai le!!!



So right after finishing the final presentations on Friday. Finally
all of them yeah. And I just got A levels. with around 82-90 points,
a whole week of madness, party and traveling begun. 
Actually two weeks. 


Yeah forgot to pay the water bill. Thats my name Wiuiger. Not


This is Meal 8 a Nerd shop at shida nightmarket. I wanted to buy a 
Star Wars T-shirt but they did not have that much choice. But I really 
regret this now. Maybe ill find some in Japan.


So on Saturday evening Pony, Adam and me took the 
High Speed Railway, comparable to the jap. Shinkan Zen.
It is really fast from Taipei to Kaoshiung in the south just 1.45 hs.
And its quite comfortable and not as expensive as going 
from Auxburg to Regensburg buy the ****** Regionalbahn.


Kiss and ride ??? Aha! 
Never figured out what s the meaning of it.


This is the view of our Apartment in Kaoshiung.
Kaoshiung is almost in the south of Taiwan. 
And the weather is always aweseome. Sometimes cloudy.




Deluxe Pony flat. :) Thx for having us!!!


Right after arriving we went barhopping :) This was
the most expensive and fanciest one the whole week.


Kaoshiung by night. It is great. The air is quite clean. The
streats are big. There is not so much traffic. The people are
how to say, since they have sunshine almost every day... nicer.
Thats what happens with me if the weather is good I smile,
I wake up earlier. Thats why I actually came to Taiwan :)


Ah at the next day we took a ferry to the harbor + beach.
Thats the beach. Still under construction.


The beach with Pony and Adam. 



This day we had local Tour guides from K. Wei and his 
brother( which is on non of the pictures)


Wei: Lets take another pic. I am so shiny. 
Dunno if its right english or not but sounds funny.


Thats the Harbor/ Beach island at night. We had a 
ahm .... good seafood dinner before. Crabs, Prawns, whole
fried fishes, ..... 


This is the Ximeanding of Kaoshiung aka ( Taiami) I have never
been to Maiami but i could imagine that it looks like K.


Another day we went to a incredibly amazing fancy huge 
department store which looks like it belongs to 7/11
this is the Birkenstock shop. 


Thats it. We had TGI fucking expensive Friday and watched 
Sherlock Holmes, which I cannot recommend cause it sucks.
And there is a huge Ferry Wheel on the Dept store.



This is a huge manmade lake near to our flat.
There are a couple of statues and Buddhas.













Not really much to say about that. We prayed for good luck
and ah yeah thats it. 


This is one of Taiamis Hot Spot for lovers. It is .... na?
The love river. You can walk along it and take a boat.


We went to a great Taiwanese / Japanesque restaurant.
Awesome!!!


And we had real and good and warm SAKE for the first 
time since I am in Taiwan. 

Mapo Tofu, Yaki Udon, Teryake Eale...


After a couple of days in Taiami we decided to go to 
Kending which is the hottest beach area in Taiwan. And...
it was really hot. In Taipei it is cold and rainy and here you can 
walk in t-shirt and shorts and flip- fops.


ähmmm no comment!


As we arrived we found this freaking awesome Italian restaurant.
Looks nice, the food is way better than in Italy. !!! We went ther
twice a day lunch and dinner. I am gonna go there at Spring Scream.


One of the beaches in Kending.!!!!! Great!!! Finally swimming.



I fell a sleep on my belly for 4 hours so my back is quite brown now. 
My face as well but the rest. White


A gekko!


Thats Kending the City itself. It is not really nice and clean.
It ok. But anyway. You go there for the beach!


Back in Taipei we did nothing really productive.
Sleeping a lot, recovering from ahm....
This is A mexican restaurant recommended by Wikipedia 
but I think it s not really good.



And then after one Week back in Taipei.
Felt so good !!! Even if it was cold and rainy.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


On ah Saturday we had a pre. Chinese new year dinner with the,
no more Germans, cause Claudius, Felix and me are the only left.
Anyway we were pretty mixed. Russia, Slowaki, Taiwan, Germany.
And had Geschnetzeltes in Weissweinsoße mit Stampf. Ai is des guad!
The only pic I took. 



So on this Sunday all Taiwanese and Chinese ppl celebrate the
Chinese new year. Later than us. This year is the year of the Dragon.
Long. I am a dragon btw. So A friend, Ling invited me and Claudius to
her Grandmothers house in Ilan (north east coast) For Chinese new year.
Normally the family all comes together and is chatting, playing Mahjong and 
eating the whole time for 4 days around. Of course they prey as well.


We ate a lot! Such good and healthy food. With lots
of vegetables. So nice and good.


We played Mahjong. A very old trad. Chinese game.
Quite hard at the beginning but on the second day I got it.



Ilan is famous especially for the beach, Hotspirngs, and King Car.
King Car is producing Mr.Brown coffe. So it is not a american brand.
And the delicious Ilan Whisky called Kavalan. Which is the old name for
Ilan


So we visited the Factory. And learned a lot about Whiskey.
:) 


Today we went spontaneously to Taroko Gorge.
At 6.45 am in the morning Uak!!!!! Hate Claudius.


But I have to admit starting so early is necessary cause otherwise
you cannot do nothing there cause the busses stop riding around 15. pm



This is the swallow grotto ;) 




Taroko is a huge national park on the west coast.


This sign on every corner. Around 100. Actually it was really dangerous
that day cause there were some rockslides at that time. We saw the stones 
laying on the street. So the staff gave helmets to everyone.




Was great although it was raining the whole time :(
I wanna go there in summer again.


It looks like a jungle but only on the pics.  






Last but not least to make our exhausment (?)  perfect 
we went after a 2.30 hs bus+trainride to Taipei to the nightmarket
Rao he or so. Cause Neili is like a Ghost town that time. Nobody here.!

The picture show an really really awesome Temple. Wonder if it 
looks that good at night. My hands bleed now from typing ...
Wan an Xin nian kuai le!!!!
