I'm feeling sick...got running nose and sore throat...
Got back from the three day trip from Taipei last night, am still wondering how funky and yet lucky this trip has been to me and Ryan.
Friday morning 10 am.
I was running out of time trying to dry my hair and put all the packing onto the van (the thing) as what Ryan had told to finish the job before 10:30. Therefore we could just jump into the van and start our little adventure to Tainan.
Heading to Tainan, which is southern Taiwan, we expected to be there after at least 6 hours of driving across the central mountain... Everything seemed so right when we started to enjoy the journey about an hour after...But.....there's alays a BUT...Hmm.....
The van started to smell funky....and my seat felt very very hot...we tried to ignore the smell and the strage heat in the van...Then, the add sound from the engine started to come out each time Ryan tried to speed up.
Anyways, the trip going to north had to end one way or another...we headed back to the train station, trying to save the rest of time of our little vacation.
Going south seemed to be impossible and unlucky....(did I mention that we also got stopped by police?), so why not going North.
So we decided to visit Taipei. And strangely once we decided to turn north things started to get lucky...We had no trouble buying tickets catching the train at the time when we arrive...with SEATs. If you've come to hualien before, you'd know how lucky it is to get train ticket with seat. Most of people will be standing three hours to get to Taipei.....
To be continued...
(Well...someone's waiting for me to get off the computer now, and i'm pretty sick now...will write more soon..)
