Sorry folks that i havent posted more blogs but i've been a bit busy, i just came back from paradise :)

It was my taiwan friend from austria that arranged this whole trip but the very night before going we didnt know if we should go or not. This since there is a big typhoon coming to Taiwan. But in the last minute we took the decision that we would have enough time on the island before the typhoon really arrived, and so we did! We had perfect weather most of the time and sweet old sunshine, how i have missed you!

Me and Megan took a bus to Taitung which is on the east coast, a four hour drive with a crazy bus driver along the rainy and slippery mountain roads (yes i was scared and i didnt even have a seat belt).

     
The view from our hostel in Taitung, it was little rainy. We went to a museum about the Peinan culture, an ancient taiwan culture. interesting indeed, for example they buried their dead in stone coffins in their houses (got to have been smelly) and they pulled out everyones upper jaw corner teeth...


Toby and I eating boiled pig blood (okey i did not really eat it, it tastes fine but its just the idea of blood)

In the evening two of Toby's friend joined us at the hostel and the next day we were of to the island. In the harbour they had a fish auction when we were waiting for our ferry. Very exotic and also funny to see all the fish.



Some fishes were a bit scary, look at the teeth!



The day we left taiwan was sunny and the pacific was so blue! Totally lovely :)



     
The green island is truly GREEN!



Sleeping beauty, you see her? one of the must-see's in Green island

Except all the beautiful sights we went to we also went snorkling :D I have never done it before anwas soooo cool. The water was cristal clear and the coulorful fish we saw were uncountable! Just loved it and will definetely do it again. There were mostly sunshine so i got some tan finally even though most of it came around my neck :P so ugly! Well there will be more trips and it will only get more sunny from now on in Kaohsiung, looking forward to that :)


The crew...

There were a bit scary when we were suposed to go home because the approaching typhoon made the sea dangerous with high waves. I thought we would flip a few times... :0

I have been trying to upload photos now for more than an hour and i give up now, will post some more on facebook soon and link from it later. All in all, green island --> GO THERE!!
