Honeymoon - Tainan to Kao Hsiung- 5 Mar 10

Woke up quite early for breakfast. Its only when boarding the bus then we know that there are caravans around too. :) next is travelling again ... along the way stopped at fruit store for toilet and buying of fruits. the fruits there seems very fresh.. but didn't get a chance to eat lychee though... Next we reached 美浓民俗村 for hakka tradition. Didn't do much there as there is nothing much!!

佛光山 is the next place we went, makan there as well. We just went to one of the temple then the tour guide told us if wan to wait at the entrance can proceed to walk on our own and meet up then. We directly went to the wishing well and try our luck. I did hit one of the bell!! then we went down to the meeting area to see see look look around.

The final city that we went is 高雄. the day before it had a earthquake of 6 plus but when we are there everything seems normal. We had to go to the 'so-call' must go places for tourist!! 台湾水产试验所！What place is this?? a place where they sell all those pearls and powders!! 小杨says that the govt actually make it a must for tourists to visit these type of place.. hai.. waste of time. Next is 莲池谭. basically its just 1 tiger and 1 dragon in a small lake... and nothing much le... heard form one of the tour mates that the clouds can actually alert the people whether would there be earthquakes coming.. Earthquake cloud!!  Next is shopping!! 梦时代. We went for their ferries wheel, Hello Kitty & Sanrio Friends 摩天轮， and my section is Sanrio!! they even have plush figurines of them in the car itself.  It was only 6 plus where its also quite dark le... nothing much to shop at 梦时代. heard from one of the waitress that they are having lantern festival at 爱河 and have FIREWORKS!!

Luckily we managed to get there on time and saw the fireworks. after that we took the 爱之船 to tour around 爱河. Thanks to the lantern festival that we actually saw the decorated 爱河. We had to walk back to our coach as the road are block already. 高雄信宗大飯店 is our hotel in Kao Hsiung. We were so tired that we didn't went out to explore...

Honeymoon - Hualien to Tainan - 4 Mar 10

Earthquake early in the morning!!! I felt when we were having our breakfast but zw didn't feel it. Nervous, kan cheong, watching out for signs of running... i held on to our bags in case we need to run!!After a while, it just stop. then the waitresses came out to have a look... We also carry on eating our makan. In the bus, we told 小杨 that there was a earthquake and he didin't feel it too. Then i was just thinking am i the only one who felt this?? but some of our group mates also say they felt it... luckily i'm not the only one. then we went to Taroko National Park 太鲁阁国家公园。 Recently there is a case of a falling rock hitting a tourist causing his death hence we were not allowed to roam far... but the mountains were very very nice, scenic. We do see the devastation of the 8 Aug Flood that had made to the environment as well. The coach went passed a small expressway (东西横贯公路） the statues of the lions were place along the road and were very cute, each of them have different expression. Next is makan then a visit to the local jade/granite factory 石之屋. We were shown how granite and jade surfaced and also talks on their jade.

鹿野溪游季温泉 is our next destination! we were travelling along the road where greenery of their rice plants welcome us. It really amazing to see a whole patch of land with plants planted in a well-organized manner. We stopped at a traffic light when i felt it again. 小杨 rush up to tell us that its shaking again. We could see the lamp post are shaking.. then he told us that 高雄 and 台南 area hit by 6 magnitude earthquake and the destruction is unknown... the one that we had experience is about 3 magnitude... so scary... cos we would be heading to 台南 shortly. When we reached the hotspring its already almost 6 le. We quickly go for the individual rooms to have a dip. To me, hot bath is not my kind, so i needed cold water as well. The place is quite run down which is why there isn't alot of ppl there.

小熊渡假村is the main highlights of the tour. We are the ONLY group in that resort. Makan again but the rice is very very very nice. This is the best rice that we had taken in our trip. hahaha... then we were told of our rooms. We share the cottage with a "mother & son" but in the end we had to change room as the ground level room was full of ANTS!!!! so suay... We were change to another cottage of 3 rooms but we only utilise the ground level room. Then we out for their so call "welcome party". Played few rounds of BINGO then some games then they had display of fireworks and launching of 天灯. We wrote "早生贵子， 天天开心， 身体健康， 发大财！！"

After that is own time own target, so we went to buy 2 rounds of firework to play with. This is the second time that we release firework on our own but i still dun dare to fire it. hahaha... so zw have to do it and i just stand there and film it!! hahaha... and its not expensive at all, only S$20+. Played basketball machine, arcade games, then bed is the next thing we head to... these few days the travelling had drain a lot of our energy, i didn't travel tour group before, so its quite taxing on me...
