tats our rented ride for e day. not cheap wor, abt S$100 for e day. but it's worth it cuz of e many many gd places our hospitable taiwanese fren brought us!
presenting our master driver for e day, e veri camera-shy JinWei/Stan. tis stubborn taiwanese refused to take proper photo lorz. -_-
according to e local ground head snake, tis Hsuehshan Tunnel took 10+ yrs to build, n kill a handful of brave construction workers in e process.
some bad english in e tunnel. note e last 2 lines in 'engrish'.
Su-Ao 苏澳，Yi Lan 宜兰
i guess tis is a little-known place, cuz there's nobody there! unlike places like gu gong n jioufen, which were super crowded.
wats rong looking at?? LoL~
tat is like a seaside place, with mountains n rocks. mightily gorgeous. but purely there to take photo oni lahz.
su-ao is basically a fishing village, we saw their fish mkt (which is no diff frm ours). stan treated us to a delicious seafood lunch there (will be posted later). hoho~
Dong-Shan River Park 冬山河亲水公园，Yi Lan 宜兰
i believe tis is e park where 湘琴 n 直树 got married in It Started with a Kiss 恶作剧之吻, look uncannily alike.
stan said taiwanese flock to tis park for dragon-boat races during dumpling festival, n also in july, when e water park is up. both events we'r unable to catch. -_-
tats where i stepped on some dung. still don see why we muz pay S$3 to go into e park with dung.
tats e landmark to recognise e park frm. n tats coincidentally e oni photo we took with stan actually posing for it. told u he's uberly camera-shy.
National Centre for Traditional Arts 国立传统艺术中心
judging frm its name, it's realli hard to deduce tat tis is a fun place. but it's realli enjoyable lahz, my fav place in yi lan lorz.
we saw actors staging a sea legend scene there. tats Mdm Catfish and Mr & Mrs Lobster! LoL~
tis is like e purrfect place to film tofu street or sth, minus e 死小孩s. in there are 2 rows of ultra interesting souvenir shops!~
calligraphy brush making right b4 my eyes! it looks v ez tho. 
woa tis lady is super zai. she sat there with a blowtorch n some sticks of coloured glass, n juz started conjuring up exquisite purple glass swans lorz. power~
tat is not a piece of cheesecake, it's a piece of tea soap!~ looks yummy horz, there's realli tea smell de lehz. 
u can blow em! u noe, like a recorder. v cooL~ LoL~

photo entitled: e lonely old man 孤独的老人
taiwanese humour at Luo Dong Night Market 罗东夜市 where we had a fantastically yummy beef noodles.
mr taiwanese drove us back to taipei to lim teh. Stan say it's a young ppl thing to brew tea atop maokong 猫空.
there are like 50 tea houses on maokong lorz, but we settled on tis for its comparatively better scope of the taipei night view. but e taipei night view aint great lahz, too lil lights. 
e hill road up maokong huh, oso v scary. narrow n rough n dark. tink stan was peeved by my constant " 有车！小心! " . but realli v scary mahz! haha~
yes it's tis kinda chee-na tea. n they realli brew it e traditional orthodox way, which means if u'r v thirsty u'll prob juz die of thirst. but e tea was uber fragrant, 金楦茶 (i tink).
we had a terrific time sipping tea n playing bridge with e hilarious taiwanese! thx so much for e wonderful time, dude!~ hehe~
