I’m back from my busy two weeks. :) It was actually pretty fun and not that tiring.

So the trip. On the first day, we drove from Taichung to Tainan and went to Chi Mei Museum. It was okay, kind of boring but yeah. Then we drove to Kaohsiung and looked at my Dad’s new company (not the one with the grand opening, another one). It was sort of like a rest stop since we did nothing. x) At last, we checked in the Splendor hotel. I think it’s the tallest hotel in Taiwan, with 85 floors. My favorite part was the buffet breakfast haha.

Second day, we had a lot planned but didn’t get to most of it due to lack of time. We only stopped at this meatball…bread…shop thing in Hualien…because it’s supposedly well-known for it. xD Then we drove to our hotel, Far Glory, and ohmy, it was so cool. It’s built on a mountain so it’s like, on a slant and it’s built like a castle! :o It was so hard to drive up there because of the winding roads but it was fun. In front of it was an amusement park that was SO HUGE and also castle-like. It was a cool hotel. :)

Third day was the ‘funnest’; we went whale-watching but we only saw dolphins haha. We went on this big boat and the waves were huge so I got totally soaked but it was so fun. There were so many dolphins as well and they were just swimming alongside us. However, fun came with a price. My head got totally sun burnt so now it’s red and so painful. Ow. I wore a hat but it was too windy so it kept flying off so I just took it off. Big mistake. Ouch. That was in Hualien as well and then we drove to our hotel in Yilan.
The hotel that day was really awesome too. It was like a Japanese-styled room…with TWO FLOORS and a hot tub thing. It was amazing. :)

Fourth and last day, we drove through the longest tunnel in Taiwan connecting Yilan with Taipei. It took about 11 minutes. Then we went to Taipei 101, the tallest building IN THE WORLD. Well, I think it’s the 2nd now because of the stupid building in Dubai (no offense xD) but oh well, that building’s not done yet so I’m still going to say 101 is #1. :D Anyways, we went up to the 89th floor on the fastest elevator in the world, traveling like 1000something km in 37 seconds. Everything looked tiny from up there. x) We also went outside on the 91st floor but we couldn’t really see anything. We also walked down to the 88th floor and looked at, I think one of the biggest, dampers. (They’re the thing that “absorbs” earthquakes so the building doesn’t shake as badly.) Then we had lunch and we all went home, for my family, it was back to Taichung. :D

There you go, my trip in a nutshell, if anyone cares.
