A hike with Oscar
Me: Where do you want to go?
Oscar: Mountain area
Looking for buses and car rental stores in a coutnry where there is a "no why" ending to most aruments/quetsions, we took scooter...
Oscar wanted to leave 5am, due to traffic...but not many taiwa go to the mountains...
Oscar had some ideas about the road...
After Jiaoxi we passed by an aboriginal museum, that I wanted to visit for a long time...
