C'est la vie!

Last weekend, Suji, who is a korean friend of mine, took a trip with her friend in Taiwan
As the local, by all means i took the trip with them
We took a train up to Mountain Ali to see the sunrise 


Here are pictures of the sunrise scenery that we woke up at 3:10AM for
i was so touched at the moment when i saw the sun coming up 
the scenery of sunrise was just so incredibly stunning











then we took a walk going down to the hotel 




Nature is a native sculptor 
see, can you imagine it looks like a pig's head?


this one obviously is a --- shape of


look at the treet trunk. 
dont you think it does look like an elephant "trunk"

Taking the high-speed train going up to Taipei


Let me introduce you some travel background of my friend Suji
i guess she has travelled through US, Canada in North America; France,Spain,Germany, Holland,Italy,Finland,Sweden in Europe; South Africa;Saudi Arabia in Middle East; Thialand, China,HongKong,Taiwan, and Japan in Asia; Down Under coutries: Australia and New Zealand~ See, pretty impressive,right? 
you may wonder where i met with her?
i met her on an English learning Website called "EnglishTown" when i was 18 or 19 years old 
the first time we met with each other in person was 3 years ago~
She was the second person whom i met on the internet and also met with each other in reality
(the first one whom i met online and offline was at UConn

When we're in Taipei, i just realized that though, Suji has come to taiwan for twice already ,and she has traveled many other countries.Such an experienced traveller like her, but there's still something very local she couldn't see or understand,especially when it encountered language barrier. 
i guess why she told me that i was a very good tour guide Lol  and i think so
she would have probably eaten some very common chinese food without me touring her
or she would have a problem of ordering food since she neither speaks chinese nor reads chinese menu

it's very fun traveling with Suji in Taiwan,as a local guide+interpreter to show them around taiwan~
if it's not t due to her coming, i don't think i would have had a chance going to see the sunrise of Ali Mountain in Taiwan again 
(my first time seeing the sunrise on Alisan was about 15 years ago...when i was very very young)
On the train, we talked about going to work and travel Australia as backpackers together next year
and i hope it will come true...

after i got back home in Kaohsiung, for some reasons, i just thought about  the saying "心有多寬，看到的世界就有多大/how open-minded you're, how big world you will see",which i often hear from my favor TV travel program.....
