Taipei Day 5 - 13 Sep 2013 (Fri)

Early morning, we took a bus to 野柳。

It's a place where people can show off their artistic part of their side by staring at a bunch of weird shapes of stones and give their professional comments.  

All the stones have their form due to 风化. Each of the stones have their own names for it, which resembles the form of the stone itself. 

For example, this one (which is the centre of attraction of this entre geo park) is called Queens Head (女皇头)

There are lots of other examples like elephant trunk la, shoes la, candle stands la, etc.....

One thing that I notice about Taiwan that impressed me a lot is that, the government here has done a very good job in ensuring that the pollution level of this country is always kept at its minimal. You could hardly see any rubbish in the streets, nor any vehicles spitting out exhaust with thick, black smoke which smells like charcoal. 

The sky is always blue. Clouds clearly visible at all times. The sea and river is always crystal clear, with fishes and crabs and seaweeds noticeable. 

Hmm.... Well, I guess that's all about this place. Not really my cup of tea, so really nothing much I can say about it.

And yeah. Not forget our famous PKS 合体照 before leaving this place. :)

Went back to hotel, packed up, and took a train back to my favourite 西门町。

Yeah!!!

Spent the evening walking and eating along 师大夜市 at 台电大楼。 

One thing worth mentioning is the 花生包 at this place. Awesome !!!

We spotted a 流浪汉 with his cat selling this along the street. 

We came to know about this from somewhere. There is this drive which helps 流浪汉 with their cats to be able to self sustain by selling this photography magazine. It's selling at NT$100, where 1/2 of it goes to the seller and his cat. 

It's good to know that people are given a chance if they are willing to do it. And u can actually see this in large from the community here. It's really a very heart warming and touching feeling which is really hard to come by these days especially in the world which is moving at a really face pace. Good job, Taiwan!!!
