Back in UCL after a 10 day break. Not looking forward to going back to work. Somehow, being with my family last week made me home sick. I guess it's just post holiday blues... And I'll be back in Spore next week!!!
After a shaky start (VERY close shave with train tickets), the family vacation went pretty smoothly. Hotel reservations didn't screw up. Ticket issue worked out (we got really lucky). Weather was great (hot!). Hotel shuttles picked us up at the right places at (almost) the right time.
Green Island is BEAUTIFUL! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! I even drove! we will not go into my driving skills here...
Taitung reminded me of Sabah. Laid back. Relaxed. Everyone happy & friendly. The most common phase is " 台東人是最幸福的！Taitung-ers are most fortunate!"
Taipei is well, Taipei. Eat, shop, eat, shop. We took Dad to to a pub (live music at EZFive! Music not so great that nite. performers were entertaining as hell) & that was quite fun.
Of course this is after all a family vacation & so the parents are obliged to annoyed the hell out of their children. Nevertheless, we had a great time. It's been a long time since we spent time together as a family. I'm glad we did this.
Photos will come later!
Oh will also update my little side trip to Jade Mountain that took place right b4 my folks arrived in Taiwan.
