| Reached Taipei, rainy and cold day, bought high speed railway tix for tmr's trip to Chiayi. train journey delayed due to tremors felt in tainan-chiayi region |
 |
| wandered around nice Chiayi city and tried the dessert, 烧仙草，literally, burnt chin chow |
 |
| cold at alishan, trekked in the foggy forest, admiring thousand-year-old cypress and cherry blossom which are starting to bloom |
 |
| lazing around at sun moon lake, missed the sunrise at alishan, decided to visualise the reverse process from sun setting. serene place, though kinda commercialised, home to thao tribal group, still different from the bustling taipei city. |
 |
| formosan cultural village, enhanced by One Piece. the cable car ride and the 3D show was superb. walked thru the 9 villages with wax characters. peacock garden back at SML, showing off their beautiful feathers, their mating calls and feathers' vibration echoed thru the air |
