Week 10 and 11

Two weeks since last blogpost (!) Last weekend I went to the southern part of Taiwan together with my dad and his wife. We took the HighSpeedRail, and arrived our destination within a few hours. The train reached speeds of 295km/h on our trip, and it is very comfortable. On the way to Kending there was a ghost house along the road. We stopped to have a look. Tickets were 285NTD and we got a small flashlight before we entered the house. Inside was a labyrinth through rooms, with bloody dools, hands and fingers laying around. There was also some people inside to scare us, and they actually did a few times. Although the "quality" of the house wasn't very good, it was a lot of fun.

In Kending we went to the beach and I went swimming. The waves were huge, and sometimes scary. Especially when I shared the water with a few jetskis. We went to a nightmarked, tried different foodstands, and found a nice hotel close to Nixon's head.

The HSR was finished in 2007

Before we went back to Taipei, we went to the very southest part of Taiwan. There's a lighthouse there, and they have built a park around it, with small trails along the coustline. We arrived in Taipei late that sunday night, and that's why I didn't post any updates on the blog as I usually do in the end of the week.

I'm starting to get used to all the

Last week have been filled with study, running, slackline, tasty food, movies and more. I tried kebab in Taiwan for the first time, and appart from adding mustard it was more or less just like the kebab you find in Norway. I like eating taiwanese food, but sometimes the hunger for western-style is just too big ;)
