Tai Ping Mountain
So today I woke up around 7...the clock was apparently 15 minutes early, so I got up early...not a smart decision -_-; as I will explain later. So I was playing around the room and found that our room's master control has a music button...I was curious so I pressed it, and the two speakers on the wall started playing music...and I thought to myself...wow this is fancy. Anyways we had breakfast were I just had bread with butter in it and an omelet. My bro and I then played a quick game of pool, where he won by default since we ran out of time, then we checked out. We dropped off our stuff on our aunt's car, then headed our tour of Tai Ping Mountain, which is one of the tallest, if not the tallest, mountain in Taiwan. We rode in a large van that could seat about 9-10 people. The bus driver is CRAZY...since we were in a time crunch, the driver literally drove in the rain, on the mountain, completely foggy(like crazy foggy) and accelerated on the turns. O_O I swear I surprised the van didn't tip or fall off the cliff, but we made it anyways. So we had to climb a bunch of stairs to get to their train, where we also got coffee, where it took us further into the mountain where there were several trails. I really wanted to see the waterfall, but it was about a 2-3 hr hike so we decided not to. Well we then headed back via the same train, and ate lunch at a neighboring restaurant. We then headed to a hot spring on the mountain, where my bro aunt and my dad went to use the hot spring, and I proceeded to boil eggs at another hot spring. I have to say it was pretty fun, putting the eggs in the basket to boil in the water, and all the steam surrounding me while I boiled the egg. I have to say too the egg was pretty good too, I had about three of them and the driver had one. Well I was pretty tired out by then, so I took a nap on the van, and we arrived at this little store where my aunt grandma mom and dad bought a butt load of stuff while me and my bro was staring at the dog sitting in the store. So then we finally got back to the hotel, where we went to an all you can eat buffet across the street, it was pretty good and pretty cheap at the same time. Too bad I was too full from the three eggs I had otherwise I would have ate more. After that, we finally headed back to Muzha but not before getting lost by the confusing Yilan signs. Well here I am now, finally back at Muzha, I'm not sure what tomorrow has in store for me, but we'll see how tomorrow goes, my aunt is going to leave tomorrow too :( so yep we'll see how tomorrow goes.
