Yilan Part 2

Image
Have you ever been paragliding? Well, paragliding is when you run off a cliff with a kite attached to you while carrying a selfie stick.  That's what I did on the third day in Yilan. It was really fun. The views were amazing. The people working even taped my shoes to my feet so they wouldn't fall off. I'd do it again, but I would want the ride to be longer. At that time the ride was about three minutes.  In the sky, I could see the whole beach, and the cafe I called the Cheese House, it looked like a wedge of cheese. After paragliding, we played at the beach for a while. Then went to the place we were staying at. After going to dinner we went trash picking-uping at the beach. It's pretty sad how much trash there is on the beach.  Day four. We went to a water park, it wasn't the best water park, but it was ok. I think my favorite part was when this guy's brother kept calling him, really loudly, that we ended up knowing his name. Let's just say you had to be t...

 Yilan Packing List:               ~ Swimsuits.                    ~ Phone/charger               ~ Sunscreen                    ~` Teddy Yup, you guessed it. We went to Yilan. Of course, I packed more, I packed like a million things, those are just the important things.  Yilan is a surfing city if you didn't know. It was about an hour's drive from Taipei, with lots of tunnels.  On Monday this surfer-looking guy named Allen picked us up from Taipei and drove us to Yilan. I liked the songs he played in the car, they were very happy songs. I like happy songs.  This week was the third camp of the year, a surfing camp. It was a three-day camp to learn how to surf. Allen was one of the coaches.  On the first day, we had Paninis for lunch, which had a pineapple in it.  Watched a YouTube video on h...

1. Wavey Escalator At the Xiang Shan stop off the red line there is a kinda wonky escalator. This escalator has a wave in the middle. Right, when Dai and I saw this we immediately wanted to take a picture. Dai even went back up to get a better picture.  2. Taking Hand Sanitizer To The Next Level Wow, it's seems like so long ago sice we first landed. When we were trying to get a taxi to get to our quarentine place the airport people sprayed all of our things and us with hand sanitizer. They sprayed us like how my dad sprays us with bug spray, except it was with hand sanitizer.  3. Squat Toilets Just like Japan Taiwan had squat toilets. In the bathrooms they have half squat toilets and half regular toilets. The regular toilets are usually occupied and the squat toilets are vacant. I'll use the squat toilets if they look clean even if there is a regular toilet that I could use. If you think about it, when using a squat toilet you don't accually touch the toilet and your shoes ...
