OnePiece Land a.k.a Nantou

So this weekend we, Carol, Ling, William, Kuan, Claudius and me were heading

for a trip to Taichung and Nantou Sun Moon Lake area.

We started at 8 in the morning so I had to wake up around 7.

 Which I did the last time 2009 or 2008. Gan ma!!!

It is way  to early. So I always got the feeling that I forgot something.

Anyway we took the bus to Zhongli, Zhong-Li, Zhung-li, Chungli, Chung-li, Chong-li, Jhung-li, Jhungli, ( that shows by the way that the Pinyin system is more confusing than helpful sometimes.) Actually, Taiwanese say Zhongli! With an O !!!! Keep that in mind!!!

That was our breakfast and it was not really good. The women selling that stuff was totally confused? And weird. Anyway so we took another bus to.... Taichong!!!

Again everywhere in Taiwan you can see trafficsign with " Taichung" written on it.

Is it really so difficult. And Actually Taipei is not Taipei it is Taibei!!!!

As we arrived in TAICHONG we visited a Gallery near the Trainstation.

And some Artists studios.

Then we were heading 4 the Ximen of TAICHONG . There was a big 

department store  with a One Piece sale or something like that :)

Chopper!

Nami 

After that we took the Bus again !!!! :) 3 times on one day!!!

And were heading to our Hotel in Nantou near the beautiful Sun Moon

Lake area. It is actually in the middle of Taiwan in the Mountains.

This is how our Motel looked like. Japanese Style. Nice 

But different from the outside...

So we heard that there are going to be some fireworks in the middle of Sun

Moon Lake so we decided to take this chance to FINALLY see some Fireworks.

No thats the ceiling of a Hotel

This hotel. It looks expensive :) 

Starbucks waterfall!!!

This roboter is made out of cell phones!

Thar is the fireworks. But I am afraid my cell phone cam sucks ;(

Flat iron in Taiwan. I wonder if it is earthquake safe ???

 

Next day Starbucks coffee and it is fucking expensive as everywhere!

More than a dinner!

Looks great! Like italy

We took a ship to cross the Lake!

That is a god!!!! I am not kidding! Penis god!
