Spicy noodles, games and tea...EARTHQUAKE!!

So today was a really lazy day. Sleeping late, playing Civilisation V, browsing the net and then getting some really nice spicy beef noodles from the nearby restaurant. Forgot to take any photos and have to really learn how to say chopsticks and other things, so I can understand something.
Also got a nice tea and finally there was a nice girl, who spoke English and I got to know what they actually sell in that tea shop.
Very unhealthy milk tea again... :)


And while writing this post, there was relatively big earthquake felt all over Taiwan, but the internet works, so no problems. Epicenter was in Hualien County on the other side of the country, but it was 6.3, so quite a big one. Only around magnitude 4 here though. Nothing dropped down, no flickering lights, or anything else, so I'm quite confident in buildings here.




First of the regular updates!


Nothing really happened today, so just lots of photos and this will continue for some time...

So today I had a photography class and messed around with the camera a little. Too bad it's just a basic course, but fun nonetheless. :)
Some radiation here!

Need to clean up my sensor :(

Really camera shy people
On the last Monday decided to go and walk up some small mountains to Yangmingshan National Park and it was really quite beautiful and worth the time. Legs hurt for two days after that, but not too bad :P Got to see a small waterfall and some forests on the way back too.
Ready to go

Some cows

Lots of cows

More cows and now some young ones

You can almost see Taipei

Nice cobble paths up to the top!

Old observation posts
Let's go up there too!






This is what waits on the top!


Mysterious paths through the forest...

Bamboo!!!

Bamboo, bamboo and stone steps and it's great!



I'm in the forest

Smallish waterfall

Old paths with water canals on the side

Time for some updates...finally and maybe also daily!

So here it is, the time to start doing things and update about every single thing! Starting from tomorrow, I'll be trying to write a blog! It does sound little crazy, but I know it can be done, maybe.
