{*a life better-suited overseas*}

it has been almost 2 weeks since i've returned from taiwan. and im suffering from withdrawal symptoms. why? let me explain. the weather there is good. the occasional drizzle, the ubiquitous cold and the dry climate. what's more can i ask for?

then there's the scenery. granted that getting to see the scenery is rather dangerous, as the traffic situation there seems haphazard to say the least, it is well worth it. i miss getting my breath taken away by the beautiful scenery, the inspiring mountains, with their peaks hiding behind a wisp of white fleecy clouds. and i miss the welcome change of scenery.

time seems to proceed at a relaxed pace there. sure, urbanisation has manifested itself in the form of major cities like taipei, etc. however, i can really feel that taiwan is not as hectic or demanding as that in sg. a pity really. a dire consequence of a country having no natural resources and having to fend off opponents economically, politically and everything-ly haha.

i realise i've been ranting on. here's some photos to support my claims.

gaping holes and waterfalls (ok only one) along a treacherous road. believe me, the road was narrow and ended in a deadend.

a rather cliched-but-beautiful-nonetheless picture. loved how a waterfall emerges from this unique structure.

your eyes are working perfectly fine. small buddhas beneath a giant one. it was an eye-opening experience.

an photo taken by my sis/dad. check out his/her style. haha and did i mention the flora there, is just...awe inspiring?

along the coast. HUGE waves. HUGE rocks. bad lighting but its a plain testimonial to the might of nature - how its able to shape, create and destroy at the same time.

and there you have it. more pics taken by my photography-savvy dad and sis. one last point about taiwan i have to add (well ok 2) - the streetfood there is GOOD and the gurls are relatively HOT there! hahaha i enjoy being superficial.
