It's amazing that even though both are islands, why is 1 sunny and beautiful while the other is gloomy and run-down? Is it due to geographical location? Or probably due to the government's investment in modernising the civilisation? I'll not debate on these reasons.
But the truth is that sunny & beautiful might not be all that matters, with more modern technologies, more advance traffic systems, more dustbins placed everywhere, it seems that people are not becoming more beautiful than they should. Litterbugs everywhere, Selfish people who refuse to give up seats to the elderly and needy, Lane cutters who didn't bother to signal, Ppl hogging everywhere from roads to entrances to shop counters.
On the other hand, the gloomy and run-down island is much different. Though it was not dominated by modern technologies; people seems to be cultivated in a different manner. Dustbin was not well populated, but people Don't litter just anywhere. Train & Buses are so packed and u can still see the heart-warming sight of people giving seats to the elderly (not just the one giving seat, the others gave way for e elderly to move). Vehicles are fast and furious yet u dun see accidents anywhere (they always say the drivers here are TOP, Numero UNO!!! Coz the 'lumber 2' is already dead), cars dash in and out but they never fail to signal. Sales are everywhere, but people just formed a natural queue...
So, is it the fault of modern civillisation that resulted in these UNCIVILLISED actions and manners? I'll leave that as it is....
Anyway, I'm back to this miserable little island almost the size of the entire Taipei (not typo, it's really taipei including the outskirts). It kinda hit me when the plane landed this morning, with a bump, it reminded me of all the stuffs which I dun wanna think about... So I shall not say much.
Lets recall the past 3 HAPPY days.
WK & me, before leaving for our R &R
The morning sun, gives the warmth feeling
our 1st destination, 剑湖山世界
Temples are everywhere, even @ theme parks
Mini Ferris Wheel
Year of the COW
Acting cool
from the Cost to the Mountain, people lives everywhere
My Ideal Home Concept, small on mountain by the sea
Say HI
海洋公园 is our next destination
where u can see dolphins juggle balls
Sing songs
Do high flying stuns
Kissing Boys
And if you think these are all from the show, there was more... Sea Lion show is next but I didn't take any photos coz it's too common. Well, after the lion show, was a sync swimming show which i didn't take any pics either. But 2gether with the sync swim, is a high-diving show with the following as finale.
If you think that this guy is outta his mind by standing high up with a swimming trunks,
I can tell u, HE IS CRAZY, that bloody tower is 20m high, that like 9 storeys high
And so he did a back flip, 720 deg somersault and dived head in the pool.
*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*
And I can say this guys really deserved a standing ovation for his act. Well done.
Well, rest of the R&R is filled with non-stop 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西.... and it continues.... hahaha....
To sum it up, I can say I really missed Taiwan. So gonna make my way there again... Really soon....
PS: Anyone require a tour guide can feel free to drop me a note. Of Coz, charges are negotiable...
