The South of Taiwan .

I have been there one time .The region are warm .The atmosphere make people's life abundant ,So long time ago Tainan was capital like Kyoto Japan .And Kaohsiung is the second city at present. Because of my friends ,after all , I can go about whole Taiwan . And I met hundred people .They live each life ,I think I could learn a lot by them .

	I went to Tainan on Taiwanese New Year time. My friends went back to their hometown . I have a big Taiwanese traditional feast with each friends and family. And the grandfather gave me a New Year's gift like Japanese OTOSHIDAMA .Ha= so happy .And the day we can't stop listening to sounds of firecracker ．And to pray our dreams come true !!
In front of the temple I got this picture ,at the same time I said "see you again" ,then ,to go another friend's home. The all partings ,I always think to see friends again .Then we would keep in touch to each other and see together again in the world . I hope to be continue forever .
	This place ,in Kaohsiung ,around big lake there are several temples and twin towers and big statues .Anyway they are very colorful and spiritual as if I were in the real heaven and felt very hopeful .
This is the biggest and southest temple in Taiwan . I went to there with friend's family .And I got yellow papers written some red letters ,friend said it's imitation of money .Then I burn them into a big pot .I saw they automatically went into the pot in the wind ,very interesting .After that ,we went to the beach and the night market by seaboard. I went about there in the sea breeze at night .

The others.

Kaohsiung, I went to there alone from Taichung with big baggage ,to meet my friend ,but I got lost .Scarcely had I tried to call her when I found her back .What's a funny she said she also got lost .After that ,we got on ship to a peninsula .We got the picture under many lanterns, then, because of boy and girl and big baggage ,a man misunderstood we were newly-married couple. I had a funny time .And middle one is very famous twin towers around lake .Around big lake we took our time to see many places ,good sightseeing . And last one I ate Taiwanese ice .It's likely to be made by beans, very sweet and delicious .Some travel books give notice to eat ice and drink water outside ,but I 'm always fine to have them . Could be , I am almost Taiwanese !! yeah I always miss Taiwan .It becomes my second home where lovely friends and families are .Take me back to Taiwan Road !!
