旧手机的照片- Great Ocean Road in Taiwan

This is going to be the last batch of Taiwan pictures from my BB that I am going to post. There are too many other memories to blog :P Hualien Taroko Gorge so reminds me of the Great Ocean Road. If you have been on the Great Ocean Road trip and the Taroko Gorge trip, you will know what I mean... It's always amazing how mankind can turn nature into tourist spots, and the sacrifices made to do just that. For that, I'm kind of thankful because that means so many people can bask in the beauty of these places.

I love this part of the Taroko Gorge. Like a painting. The few minutes when I just close my eyes and listen to the waves was good.

旧手机的照片 - 台湾好住的!

第一次住民俗,还瞒 ENJOY 的。虽然睡得不是很好,但觉得很舒服。我想, 民俗的特色是它们都布置得很特别。从台北出发到花莲,发现忘了带相机充电器,还好有手机,要不然就无法拍照留影了。。。






Roseland B&B (http://www.roseland.com.tw/english.html) 以玫瑰花以主题。布置得很美丽,也很舒服。地点也很方便, 靠近很多好吃的。 主人养的两只小狗也很可爱 :)这一点一滴,都让一个人旅行的我觉得很安全. 二月的台湾,天很早就黑了,所以我几乎每天都7,8 点回民俗,窝在房间里看电视!








九份的Windsor B&B (http://windsor.idv.tw/index.asp) 给我一种KAMPONG的感觉, 仿佛去了另一个年代, 象所在地一样。虽然它没有花莲的民俗舒服(床有一点硬),但它很宽畅,还有阳台呢!在这里的两天都下着雨,常躲回房里避雨,可以听到`屋顶嘀嗒嘀嗒的声音,晚上会觉得有一点恐怖。HAHA。 别有一番体会:)

旧手机的照片 - 台湾好吃的!

换了手机,把所有的照片都下载了。过去两年,拍了超过一千张照片, 上载不到一成。是时候好好整理旧手机的照片了。

近日有一点不开心,就来一些台湾单独旅行的快乐‘好吃’照片,过一过那三分钟热度的 LIVE TO EAT 的瘾吧!

热豆浆和蛋饼。 想念台北温暖的早餐。

猫空的茶饭。想念那一阵阵的茶香。

花莲民俗的早餐。想念用餐时的宁静。。。

和朴素。。。
和简单。

鹅肉和鹅血糕。想念在新加坡吃不到的味道。

基隆的天妇罗 。想念基隆的美食。

排骨羹。想念它的甜而不腻。

营养三明治。 想念它的特色。

九份民俗的早餐。想念它的简单。。。
和花茶香。

紅糟肉圓 和肉丸汤。想念它的Q。

芋園。 想念它的热腾腾。

MONTBLANC蛋糕。想念一个人庆生的感觉。自由但孤独。

Half-time Check-in

1 July 2012 marks the end of the first half of 2012 and the beginning of the second half of 2012. Today is a special day too because it marks the beginning of a new phase of life for a dear ex-colleague S. Congrats, S and may you and D lie happily ever-after and btw, 1 Rochester is pretty (would have been perfect if not for the sun :P)

It's time to check-in at half-time, not that I have a lot to show for it. But the last 180+ days will be remembered as days of changes and breakthroughs - for having the courage to leave my comfort zones such as travelling alone, leaving good company for the unknown (which is proving to be challenging), for speaking my mind and saying 'no' to many yeses that I would have committed to in the past, for taking the step to widen my social circle...

It's unpredictable how the second half will unfold... But I'm definitely going to try my best to make sure it turns out the way I want it to or at least in a way I am proud of...
