This one is my friend's.

A Blessing In Disguise

I was just getting a few cute pictures of Fat Tiger lying on my bed when he got interested in the camera's lace and started playing with it. It comes out even better than the ones I took before!

Hey, give that back!!

We are best friends!!

It took me quite a while to put them together and not getting them into fight. This is my two-year-old Chiwawa Charlie and ?-year-old cat Fat Tiger( I named him after a character from the Japanese cartoon "Doreamon"). Usually it is Charlie who always try to "play" with Fat Tiger and ends up being biten on the nose. Well I guess they will live quite a few years before they kill each other.

Warning

Never cheat on your wife,or...

Desperate Housewives

One of my favorite TV show.

Li Yu Lake

We went boat paddling in the Li Yu (carp) Lake. It looks easy, but trust me, if you aren't sure whether you can make it back to the shore, don't risk it. It was exciting at first, but soon we found it very tiring, so we just paddled not too far from the shore and enjoyed the view instead.

Don Hwa University

Don Hwa University

This picture was taken in Don Hwa University. Yes, you heard it right. The beautiful castle behind me was an university. Most amazingly, the campus is 650 acres in size. "Flowing water, miniature lakes, and swaths of greenery blend into countless scenes that provide teachers and students with inspiration during their daily work or moments of relaxation...It is the most beautiful campus in Taiwan and one of the most popular destinations in the area for sightseeing. ." That's what it said on the university's web site, and I guess it was true.

Wish I was in my own living room...

Bellevista

The seals can actually shoot the basketball!

Lobster's eyes

That how Albert looks like through the lobster's eyes.

one-more, two-more

Curled-up starfish.

Hualien Ocean Park view from the way to the hotel. It's the biggest ocean park in Taiwan (Taiwan doesn't have many ocean parks anyway). The hotel has buses every hour which go straight to the park, and you can already hear children's laughter outside the entrance. (sorry, but I lied about that :P)

The swimming pool in the hotel.They also got a indoor one.

The lobby in Bellevista.

Bellevista

The hotel we stayed in. Bellevista, which was right above the Hualien OceanPark. Expensive? Of course, what do you expect? Worth it? Definitely!! The hotel faces the Pacific Ocean on one side and mountains on the other. We went swimming after dinner and you can see the ocean right from the pool. I can live here forever!

the Tourist Train to Hualien

The special tourist train we took from Taipei to Hualien had a small bar in one of the carriages which sold some snack that were pretty expensive. Besides the bar, the tourist train had nothing special from a normal train really. I guess it probably only helps makes you feel like on a holiday since you're on a "tourist" train. ha..

Sun set view from the yacht. The yacht took us from Fisherman Harbor to Danshui "Old" Street, taking only about 15 minutes.

Albert, Mom & my uncle's family

Fisherman Harbor

oops... I forgot to turn this picture around. Never mind. This was at the Fisherman Harbor, and that's Albert & my cousin George. It was about sun set when we got there, and the view was much prettier than last time when we came in the morning.
