Trip to Danshui 淡水 and Wulai 烏來 in Taipei
Hi everyone! the past month has been pretty good for us. We’re working more hours now and we decided to stay at the dorm a bit longer since we got the biggest room here and it’ll help save money for the both of us. We haven’t been up to too much lately, but we did make a trip to some place in Taipei (again).
There’s a famous temple called ‘Longshan’ temple which we visited and took some pictures of. We also went to Danshui, which is the furthest stop north on the MRT (subway) and it’s a really beautiful place to visit. It’s right on the waterfront and reminded us a lot of Halifax harbour. There were so many little stores, food vendors and activities there to spend a good afternoon having fun; we went with our friends Dena and Megan, and had a blast. This past weekend, Nat and I went to Wulai scenic park and took some really great photos. It’s in the most southern stop on the MRT in Taipei and is up in the mountains (which most of Taiwan is surrounded by). We went up a gondola and spent a good day walking around and snapping pics. You can see all the great photos HERE.
Sorry for the lack of posts, we will try and get one up at least once a month (so hopefully we both do something cool every month). Until next time, talk to you all soon! And thanks to everyone who is keeping in touch and writing comments!

She is still with SMU. At times she has to ask them for extra work because she gets it done so quickly. Jessica is a wonderful housekeeper. Philip & I stayed an evening with them last week because we were going to Boston for a convention.She really keeps the condo spotless!
