Backpack Taiwan (Kenting)



a kind auntie offered us guava on the train! hee!




Fang Liao Train Station > the place we need to get to before reaching Kenting

after a long train ride



cam-whoring at the sail rock



introducing the place where we're staying (we've cycled a long long long way)
the Sail Rock!
showing how much the sea has receded over the years

"hurry hurry take the photo!" (frantically hopping onto the jet ski)


yeah i'm riding the waves! weeee!!




look at the amount of sunblock i'm slapping on myself.
yet, its still useless.
chaotah as charcoal still.

the kind uncle who let us try out all the water activities though we only paid for 3.

the mighty 甜甜圈 that gave us bruises on our butts!

this one caused us to fly out of the float! The Ultimate!


after that, i became like that.
its THAT tiring



this is our psycho driver uncle! exciting rides!



sun, sea, sand, babes! *oops*



weeee!! the jump everywhere we go!


i dunno where this is but i just had to get off my bike to ease my sore butt




kenting street

our hostel room


GIANT sotong!! *slurp*


night life of kenting

cheap cheap go kart!
100NT for 20 rounds!
(though we did cycle our ass off before reaching this place)




thats 耳卵鼻. we had intended to cycle there but gave up after seeing no change in its size after a long long while



er yah, the Sail ROck again. what to do, thats the main attraction.


i think this is er...some random patch of grass. haha


"hurry up, laolaoshu! we've still got a long way to go!"


the christian hostel we stayed at kenting (or rather, the ONLY hostel we managed to find in kenting)


decided to have a go at the slide after depositing our bags with the hostel, hee!


laoshu happily gulping down food samples





long long LONG way to goooooooo...*arrrrr*




chenlaoshu only has me in her eyes! hoho!


weeeeeee!!

sun sea and me! hohooooo!

and laoshu tooooo!



kenting beach!

after the beach and cycling, we decided to chill out at this place for some desserts! heehee!

kenting street at night.

similar to our local pasar malam


happen to catch this mobile bar. quite cool! the guy turned his lorry into a bar at night



in our attempt to hitch a ride to kaohsiung, we were very fortunate to have met these guys. they are divers who were planning on a dive trip to kenting the next day. and we, without thinking much, decided to join them for their dive the next day!

the hostel they brought us to. nice place. too bad me and shu cant afford to stay in the nice ones. haha

and so.. we settled for this

the roof was so low that laoshu kept hitting her head on the ceiling

a desperate attempt to dry our clothes


our 1st dive!!! (well, its only experiencing diving to be exact)


"helooooo! i know i look kuku in the mask but i dont give a darn!" hahahha

Thats chi-en and wang wang!



drying our wet suits and equipment

after diving, we went to this nice restaurant with the divers.


laoshu, wang wang, kang-ge






xiao yang!

i dunno whats up with that hand sign, haha (look at previous pic too)


group picture of those we went diving with us (well, minus chi-en's gf)


our hitch hiking saviours and diving instructors.

this is the lao ban niang of the hostel and err...some other guy

yoohooo! heeehee!

yummy yummy yum yum!

laoshu contented with her smelly-pot-instant-noodles (pardon my direct translation)
