June 18- 19th, 2005

Kenting, Taiwan is a tourist city that is at the most southern tip of Taiwan. At this time of year the streets are filled with tourists shopping and travelling. Rebecca and I left Saturday morning (June 18th) really early and caught the train (about an hour and a half trip) and then caught a bus for another hour ride. The bus ride was scary, swerving in and out of traffic. We got into Kenting around 10:30am and rented a scooter that we used to travel around.
Highlights:
-Hiking up to the 7 waterfalls and enjoying to cool fresh water. (see the pics)
-Seeing another side of Taiwan
-The mexican and Thai food- hmmmm....
-The beautiful beach... ahhhh.... Sand, sun, and blue water and sky
-The cockroach in Rebecca's hostel bed (we were really turned off)
-The aweful sunburn that I got the take home with me and suffer with for a week (which eventually all peeled away... oh well... so much for a tan)
-Running into Jill on the train ride home- a girl from my program (a Canadian girl!!)
-Riding home in the train by the steps because the train was so full that there were no seats left.
