Sianzzz, nothing much today, the day is mostly spent in the bus looking @ scenery along the way. After leaving the hotel, the guide brought us see a beautiful beach...quite chio...is facing the OCEAN one...next,went to Taroko Gorge(Tai Lu Ge Guo Jia Gong Yuan) to look see look see again...zzz...

The Beach






Taroko Gorge




The Husky ...=o)


After that, went for an aboriginal lunch consisting of many wild veges, wild fish, even wild boar..haha!! the veges is kinda gross bcos there is a sticky sap when you chew on it, the wild boar meat was okay lar, just that it smelt abit weird. They kept saying that the smell of bamboo shoots is damn gross, luckily, I got a stuffed nose ...HAHAHA!!! The tour guide even forgot to pay for the meal and the poor waitress chased her all around...muahahAHA!!! Beside the restaurant is a marble processing factory where huge boulders where sorta cut up and repackaged larh...Next is the Gem wholesale centre, mainly to con visitors' money only ...=X !!! Pls lor, this era where got people where jade stuff and dare it flaunt it ...=P !!!

After the CHOP CARROT HEAD (in hokkien lar) session, the guide brought us to this place call BA XIAN DONG to look at some caves where the aboriginals long long time ago used to stay. But now, the caves had been converted to a temple for the Goddess of Mercy...soooo totally out of point!!! We also met a very funnie lil girl...when asked whether she is an Yuan Zhut Min(aboriginals), she replied no...bcos she is (her name) ..!! muahah!!!

@Jade wholesale centre



Lastly, went to San Xian Tai to look see look see again. Basically, it is just 3 islands linked by funnie bridge. The guide don't allow us to cross the bridge bcos she said that it MIGHT be dangerous as it was getting very windy and dark. So, we merely took some pics on the bridge...sianed!

the weird bridge...



Went to Formosa Hotel after having our yucky dinner(shall not elaborate). Wow, it was awesome lor, 5 stars, spacious room, and well equiped with entertainment and relaxation facilities such as spa, gym and performances...woohoo!!!



-Dance Performance-
Traditionally aboriginal dances by their ppl... the dancers were mainly students studying in the town and perform @ the hotel to earn some pocket money. HeHehe, I learned how to greet them the aboriginal way and even tried their dance...hohoho!!!

danNnnCerS!




-Spa treat-
This is my first time going completely NAKED in a shared area!!! hehehe... at first, quite awkward lar,but soon, become accustomed to it as everyone is naked and body will bother to take a second look at you... quite shiok, a totally new experience.
no pics...OBVIOUSLY!!!

Also got to know 3 super duper ultra friendly Taiwanese girls who were working in the hotel.They are Lao Shu, 18, Cat, 16, and Mo Yu Hei Bang, 15. And Cat, really sounded and looked like Ella sia!!! My sis and I also went to their hostel to take a look, quite cool, huge room with attached balcony just for the 3 of them. Also got to know some of their friends, Ah Jie, Jason and a dunnoe what name ...hehe!!! Time flies, soon, got to head back to the hotel le, quite reluctant actually, their hospitality made the trip more bearable...!!!
