Cycling in Green Island

Asides from beautiful coastal views, there are also geological formations to ride through when cycling in Green Island. Best time to ride is early morning or late afternoon. It is HOT HOT HOT there.

If you like snorkeling, I hear it's great too. I didn't get to try this time. Maybe next time.

How's the view up there?

Wouldn't it be nice to bring a book and some tea up there? I wonder what the view is like from there. Another endless stretch of ocean maybe? Another place to empty the mind. I need that right now.

Finally done with the tea stories. The 1'30'' stories have been airing one a day, and I think the full 30-minute program will air this Saturday or Sunday afternoon. The topic was really interesting, but the process was truly a nightmare. Nevertheless, new tasks, new challenges, new concepts to play with. It's been 19 days running through tea farms and burning the midnight oil, but I am happy and I feel lucky.

Rescue me, but take your time

I think I took this picture while waiting to be rescued. The electric bicycle the scenic administration office loaned me ran out of power when I was making the round-the-island ride on Green Island. Not a bad view to be stuck with!

Cooling off, Green Island style

It is nearly October and still over 30 degrees centigrade during the day in Taipei. Jumping in the deep blue sea off Green Island sounds really nice right about now. A big bowl of chilled douhua 豆花 with tapioca and brown sugar syrup would be good too, even if it is topped with seaweed. I like seaweed very much, but I think I prefer it dried or in my soup. I guess people in Green Island like seaweed any way they can take it. Even on shaved ice 挫冰.
