Taiwan trip

Taiwan is a very attractive and wonderful island which is located in East Asia. The island is 394 kilometers long and 144 kilometers wide. In December 2007, my friends and I had joined a Taiwan trip, a 7days trip, but we had extended our trip to 11days. During this Taiwan trip, we had visited Taipei, Taoyuan, Yilan, Hualien, Kaohsiung, Taichung, Puli, Sun Moon Lake, Jiufen and etc. Taiwan is governed by the Republic of China (ROC), and Taipei is the largest city of Taiwan. Taipei is the seat of government of the ROC and its center of commerce and culture. Moreover, Taipei is home to the world’s currently tallest skyscraper, which is Taipei 101. The second-largest city of Taiwan is Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung has one of the busiest sea ports in Taiwan, which is the Port of Kaohsiung. Taichung is the third largest city in Taiwan, and has an abundance of interesting cultural amenities and activities. Anyway, Taipei, Kaohsiung and Taichung are the three largest cities in Taiwan.

Moreover, one thing I would like to share is Taiwanese calendar, the Minguo calendar is counting years from the establishment of the ROC 1912. It is commonly used in Taiwan. Therefore don't be too surprised to find dates like "97-02-28" on soft-drinks or bags of chips. ROC 97 is 2008 AD. To convert a Minguo date to A.D., just add 11. Months and days are according to the standard calendar. So don’t misunderstand ya… Taiwan food didn’t expire. Anyway, throughout this Taiwan trip, I really enjoy it. I love to shop at Taiwan. And I love the weather and the environment too. Besides that, during this trip, I had met some new friends, and I had adopted a godmother and a godbrother. Anyway, it is a very amazing and unforgettable trip, I really enjoy this trip and very happy too.
