After 3 hours of sleep, 3 hours of train ride and 1 hour of cab ride, I finally reached Alishan. To be exact I was only halfway up, at this place called shi zhuo.
That was enough to take my breath away. On the way up I saw so many breath taking sceneries. Despite the heavy fog that day, there was a very visible sea of clouds that lie below me, amongst the mountains, and i swear i feel like a fairy, mayb guan yin, sitting in a car and going somewhere to drink tea with buddha and the monks.
The homestay itself, LITTLE SWISS, was the ultimate. Beautiful, breathtaking, calm and peaceful are all understatements to what you can witness from his homestay. not to mention his exceptional friendliness and warm attitude that I receive similarly in the fabulous homestay at sun moon lake. (apparently they are friends. wahaha.)
I felt that that was enough and i just wanted to stay in the room and soak in nature while lying on a comfortable bed w thick warm sheets, which i havent, since my sis left. and apparently if you were to sleep the other way, heads at the feet of the bed, you can stargaze and probably even catch a meteor! woo~ well it was foggy that night anyway. hahaha!
so anyway my friends insisted on going out and a part of me scolded myself for being lame so i went to fenqi lake, where there is no lake, but a sea of clouds beneath me and allas! the reason for the name. over there i had the BEST wasabi nuts i have ever had in my whole life and i cant stop popping them until my stomach feels hot and my nose feels like it would do some good with a fan. i so want to bring it back for amelia, mike and lyon! i know u guys would love it! wahaha. but no, im not going back to alishan before i leave. too bad. im just saying it. WAHAH. so evil.
alishan is the best place for photos because it was a clear blue sky that day! muahaha! talk about luck. lotsa pretty flowers that stood out so well amongst the green green trees and interesting stories about the sisters pond where they both die to give up the guy they love to each other.. hmm. thats when my camera died on me hahaha. and we had to go back soon anyways.
another 2 hours mini bus ride, 3 hours of STANDING on a squeezy small aisle in the train, mrt in taipei before we are back! muahaha. and not to forget, STEAMBOAT AGAIN FOR DINNER AT 11PLUS! WOO HOO! im a sinner!
