Some of the guys at the drain... drinking Shandy


There they go


This is when you don't


-1 blocking Hao Ran who was trying to take a picture


Okay, he leaves but they're not quite ready yet


This is what happens when you forget to turn the flash off


2816 talking to some of the girls


Look at Liah's (in brown) funny face.


Hao Ran photographing.... as usual


uh oh... posting pictures about food is only going to make me hungry!


Those guys were making so much noise at the parking lot up there the Jaga went up there and scolded them


Now the fire's beginning to go!


Zhan Hao eating


The food spread across our table


The beginning of the fire


Fang Soe getting the fire started somewhere else


Zhan Hao and Kiah Wei trying to get the fire going

Alas, my poor shadow, he has been following me around the whole place. From the south, to the north of Taiwan. He must've been as tired as I was


Nyeaaahh!!! Another one of those funny faces I like to make


Shao Yu sleeping (Farrah took this picture... said she wanted to show it to Shao Yu's boyfriend haha)


The only animal I was interested in at the zoo... this poor little T-rex looking thing.


There were also some really nice chinese hot dogs to eat. Mmmm mmm...


There were monkeys at the zoo that weren't monkeying around.... too bad


Another scenery


How about the beach then? Just love the smell of the salty air slapping across your face... can you feel the power of the waves?


Another camera trick.... but seriously, this is steep enough already


Oh, what now? Birds that can stand on vertical hills?


Nah.... just De Sheng looking down at a dirty "drain"


Oh no! William hanging for his life on some bars?!?


Alas, before I knew it, the tiger got me


Then I take a picture of the city on the other side of the lake (it gives me the feeling of Singapore strangely)


Then I take a picture of this mountain near the tower


Next I take a picture of the bottom (the crossroads where you pick between tiger and dragon)


First I climb one of the towers and take a picture of the other tower...


And now the tiger gets to eat as well


All of them lining up to get eaten by the Dragon...


A little further off were 2 towers with a Dragon and Tiger entrance.


There were these 2 cute little dogs there. Nobody could resist giving them a nice little pat and stroke


Jimmy (also known as the most innocent, childish, well-meaning, good-natured, play but unfortunately completely unskilled percussionist in our band) at the tortoise pond


Another place we went to was the Lotus Lake. Long long ago there was this lake filled with lotus. Then one day some guy thought it would be good luck to release tortoises in the pond. Then everybody else thought the same. Before long the tortoises ate all the lotuses. Now the Taiwanese government decided to catch all the tortoises and put them in some sort of huge pond, separate from the lake so they can turn the lake back into its original glory (full of lotus la)


At one point the guide took us up onto a hill where I could get a nice big shot of the scenery. This apparently is one of Taiwan's biggest mountains


Along the way I spotted a Mitsubishi. I was really surprised and wondered what a Proton Wira was doing in Taiwan. Sir later explained that Proton and Mitsubishi worked together so their cars look the same.


After bumping into 4 missionaries and having a short chat, Shuan and I rushed to this place where we had this witty vonlunteer tour guide take us around some place....


Isn't this so peaceful looking? Even those red words are telling you to drive slowly


Apparently the clouds are like this when the weather is cold


Guess who couldn't stand walking on the "massage or torture your feet rocks"


Left to right: Sir's cousin, Sir, Dong Liang, Yan Qi, De Sheng


Su Wen at some sort of sacred place


We went up some mountain where there was some sort of uh... thing...


"Off Duty" or at least, something like that. It was a photograph session. They didn't have their rifles at that point so they didn't bash anyone who touched them. It seemed to me that some of them were struggling to hold back smiles. It's like they're supposed to look serious or something
