anyway, here goes
We had another Taiwan trip. Well, it has been part of our "tradition" since my father's relatives are there in Taiwan. So we go there almost once or twice in a year. Basically, what we do there is to visit our relatives, buy some Taiwanese foodstuffs in the grocery, look for cheap bargains. and basically REST. It's quite seldom that we go sightseeing, since we basically went around Taiwan when I was younger. And usually it's just my dad and me or my dad and mom who goes there. Minsan lang na kaming tatlo umuwi ng Taiwan. This year, the whole family of three went to Taiwan. And luckily, we went there during the weekends. Kaya my uncle had the time to take us somewhere.
Apr 26-27
Did our "shopping" of foodstuffs hahah, mga basic needs of taiwanese goods :P
Apr28
We went down South of Taiwan. My uncle took us to this little island XiaoLiuQiu (小琉球) and we rode a boat. Took us 2 hours to arrive at the port and 45mins to arrive at the island. It was HOT! but still Manila is hotter... anyways, in that island you go around by riding a scooter. And i don't know how to drive one. ahah Buti na lang we were 6, and my uncle was the one who drove for me. (i should learn how to ride one! Every taiwanese knows how to ride one! :P) It was fun, there were many tunnels and caves there. One of its attraction was 美人洞. "Beautiful Girl Cave" Then may isang place na parang katulad sa Mt. Makiling, wherein you squeeze through the tunnels to get to the other side. It was a fun experience, and the sea breeze was literally "seeping" through the tunnel, kaya ang sarap ng feeling when you're in the tunnel, very cool and breezy. We also went to the beach where there is this Cone Stone.
We stayed in the island until around in the afternoon. Then we were back on the road again. We stopped at this coffee shop near the beach too.
I had a Mochaccino! :D very yummy! :D
From there, we went to Kenting (墾丁) which is like the "summer" capital in Taiwan, because of it's beaches. :D We stayed there overnight. Kinda ironic since we have many beaches here in the Philippines but still we went to the beaches of Taiwan. And it was VERY CLEAN! compared to what we have here in the Philippines. They also had night markets there. Very cool!
The next day Apr. 29
We went to Taiwan's National Museum of Marine Biology Museum/Aquarium. It was also very interesting. Being able to see the things that we just saw in the laboratory preserved. They have it alive there! Like the garpikes, the stingray, the sea urchins, and starfishes. We can also touch them too. Just like that in the Guam's Underwater World and also in San Francisco too! Philippines should have one too.. *sigh* What's different about this place is that they also have pools where you can play with the water. Shallow pool for the kids mostly, with fake dolphins and whales.
We also met a 原住民 (or parang mga aborigines) there. She was very friendly, tapos when she found out that we were from the Philippines she said that their language is similar to Tagalog. She asked us if it's "ina" and "ama" for the Tagalog of dad and mom, and it really was! They use the same too. Then she asked what "pig" was in Tagalog, and I said, "baboy" and it was the same too, although they call it "vavoy" There are similarities, but not the whole language, medyo nainfluence din daw ung langugage nila with Japanese din.
I want to go there again! :D
