Wen Wu Temple overlooking Sun Moon Lake 
Sun Moon Lake has plans for a 7-Star Hotel, like the one in Dubai. This is a beautiful area that I hope doesn't get littered by tourists, buildings, exhaust and pollution.
English Teachers (Een-gwin Louscher) + Emily outside of the Sun Moon Lake Wen Wu Temple (Err oo-way tahn wen wu meow)!
Cheery Row Boats on the clean, teal lake water. The little fish were swimming happily around and dragonflies were zipping about everywhere, it felt like a dream...until....
....we saw more of these creatures. I wouldn't even call them spiders because they're as big as my face. Hikers BEWARE!!
A big thanks to these charming gals from Puli who met up with us and scooted us around the entire lake! Let it be known that I will be buying Shan Fen's dinner next time I see her...she wouldn't let me pay her for anything. I've found the people here to be sweet yet painfully stubborn!
This is Emily and I on our hike up to the Ci-en Pagoda. Emily is one of the secretaries at my school, she is fantastic!
Banging the Bongo Drum.. Air Jordan style!
Stairs to the top of the Ci-en Pagoda. Oh hey Tanier!!
Ci-en Pagoda in memorial of Chiang Kai Shek's mother (1st Prez of Taiwan) .
Our ferry boat ride at sunset.
What a blissful Saturday!
Sidenote: Reality always hits when I come home to sleep on my box spring (minus the mattress). As much fun as I'm having here in Asia, I can NOT wait to come home (wherever that is) to sleep with squishy pillows on a soft, fluffy bed covered with a dainty duvet cover!
Personal Journaling Sidenote: Tabbi- today you went to a BBQ with the Chinese Singles in the Taichung area where you choked on plum vinegar water(not punch) til you cried, fell asleep on a strangers couch, broke a dinner glass in an attempt to clean up, and then left wearing someone else's house slippers (leaving your outside shoes in their entry). When I went back to retrieve my shoes, I introduced the group to the term,'being an airhead'. They loved it but with the impression I made today, I don't expect another invite! ;)
