taitung

I just came back from a trip to Taitung, Taiwan, which is the area on the southeast side of the island. It was kind of a last minute thing. Originally I wasn't planning anything for Chinese New Year, but a friend mine invited me to go with his family of 25 on the 9 hour road trip to celebrate Chinese New Year which was on the 29th. There was a caravan of 5 cars/vans and for 3 days and two nights we went to various parts of Taitung which is a huge county (basically the east side of Taiwan is 3 counties and Taitung is the largest one).

The entire trip was beautiful.



God is a genius

We slept overnight at homestays (a different one each night because we moved to a different area) which are basically houses you can rent for a day or two, kind of like a bed and breakfast minus the breakfast. Today we went to a part of Taitung where you could rent a bike, or two-man, three-man bike or other unorthodox bikes and ride on a beautiful 12 km mountain trail.

Needless to say it was a great ride.
