It contradicts with my old quote "learn from the past, dream about the future, but live today"...but it aims for people who are pondering and need to move forward...
Another favorite qoute:
As Lao Tzu said: “The best fighter is never angry.”

Confusing MRT
I went on the MRT recently...
Even if it was in the morning...it said no MRT will arrive...typical industrialized country problem...luckily the MRT arrived after 3 minutes...
A quick visit to a mexican restaurant

A 1 day trip to Danlin
I paid a 1 day trip to danlin recently
Passing Nanzi on the way there...
...and some nice sceneries...
typical pingdong environment...
...probably beetle nut trees...
When I arrived to Chaozhou Geai picked me up...
we stopped by a nearby 7-11 to buy stuff...
and some time later we went for a scooter ride...
The goal was to visit coffee stores...and we found once nearby Danlin...
Laiyi coffee...
They had some coffee plants there...pretty cool...
The coffee I had was just from the area...
Colourful coffee bar...
And the desk....it would b a cool bar here too if they wanted...
I got the same coffee in 2 cups...
Later on we went to a graveyard nearby...
And further up the mountain we passed by more aboriginal villages...
...Puljeti seems like the name...
We were pretty close to Beidawu...where I have been before...
The view from here was fantastic...
Also nice roads up here...
Taking pics while driving...(we are in the south of taiwan; thus the safety equipment we are using)...
We could see Kaohsiung from here...
At some mountain top we found this coffee place...
Geai took many pics from up here...
Their menu was in chinese...
I used my 200ntd and 20ntd to pay...as in the old times...
Higher up: greater view...
I got coffee from Beidawu...finally...
And some coffee from a local coffee farm...
I had an interesting cup...
After a while we headed back towards Danlin...
Geai looking like some rapper/gangster...or something...
As usual the roads here have aboriginal patterns...
When we got to Danlin we could see the sunset...
We made a short visit to the hanging bridge...and crossed it...just for fun...
Once back in Danlin, we had some beer...
We also had some whisky that a french guy brought earlier the same year...
...we also had BBQ at a nearby house...
And alot of food...
Later we moved to another location and drank more...
Some people did some arm wrestling...
In early morning I headed back up north...2019 continues...
Xiaoliuqui beer
I got beer from Xiaoliuqui from a friend recently...
...pretty cool...if i go there again I should buy more...
A visit to taipei fish market
I paid a visit to taipei fish market
They have alot of fish and seafood
and huge crabs...
...it was my first time here...
...some crabs were from japan...according to some people
IT was some restaurants that were in thea area, all selling fish...
Some dished were pretty expensive...but crabs are expensive here...even in Hsinchu I found a crad for almost 1000ntd...
Once the customer picked...the crab peices are put on some BBQ...it was an interesting visit...

The fontain area was pretty big...
Full of locals...
