Exactly ! I told my teacher that the beach was lame, she looked at me with big eyes !

You mean, Hsinchu harbor ? I just noticed that Taiwanese people are not really into beaches. Some people walk outside with huge umbrellas, so don't try to ask them to put some sun lotion on you . And of course, you cannot swim there, people just come see then go.

All the animals are from the zoo. This zoo is kind of well-known thanks to the penguins. I mean, it was the only thing I wanted to see. They built a special building for the penguins : Penguin's house.

About the pink one, I don't know what is it .

Actually most shots are from my friend with a huge camera. I did pretty much the same shots with mine but decided to post up those because the pics quality are really clean . Of course, it isn't 640 px resolution, it's something like more than 2k px.

About the turtles I don't know what's happened to them : At the entrance there were turtles... and they did the same things, I wanted to capture a pic but there were children around me, I captured the scene near the exit gate when I saw another turtles group that did the same things .

The mountain is really worth to go, but you should get some warm clothes. During our trip we were 3 and guess what ? All the 3 got sick...

Taiwan is a really good destination, I think I will go back there later. I need to explore the East Coast and some islands.

Ahaha, well, the beautiful one and hot one are printed in my head . I didn't bring my camera when I go to places like pubs or clubs. I'm not a stalker, I won't cap anywho .

I'll let you see with your own eyes, for me, southern girls are prettier than northern girls.
In my university, I saw like 5 pretty ladies out of lots lots lots lots lots of students !..

Don't worry, Taipei isn't the only nice city but I was a little sick about seeing lots of cities, it's always the same : traffic lights, cars, noise...

 

[noungning]

ahh i see, i think i might go get a real camera because these little compact one have quite shitty quality, because the next time i go somewhere i want to take the nice and clean type of pictures. my compact digital just sucks, it makes my pictures look as if i've screen capped a movie or some type of video. but i'm in search for a good camera, not sure yet tho.

Unfortunately, nop .

But, when I was in Taipei, there was a sort of concert outside. The people that performed the show was the same people on some advertisement posters, so I don't know if they are really famous or not, and of course, I don't know their names, it wasn't worth to capture a pic . Anyway, I'm not into celebrity. All I know is that I have all the Chinese/Taiwanese albums I wanted.
