Along the east coast

During our Chinese New Year break my parents came to visit and take a road trip with Eric and I around Taiwan. We drove down the west side of Taiwan which was basically just highways and freeways, but on our way back we drove up the east coast. The east coast is absolutely beautiful! It's full of windy roads up and down mountains and (which was rough for me since I get car sick semi easily) along  beautiful coastlines of Taiwan. The weather was pretty cloudy and sometimes rainy, but I was still able to get some decent photos of Taiwan's east side.

The Monkey Face Rock! Our first stop was in Kenting. Kenting was recommended by all of our coworkers to stop at and visit so of course we had to! This town is pretty much as south as you can go in Taiwan; home of the most southern tip of Taiwan. The weather was actually quite lovely this day, but the water was way to cold to swim in. I didn't notice it at first, but my dad pointed out to me that this rock is famous for having a monkey's profile on one side and Nixon's profile on the other, which I didn't get to see...


I'm not sure if the person holding the umbrellas is a man or a woman, but she/him/shim looks like someone who has a baby growing inside it's chest! This photo was also taken at a beach in Kenting.



The beaches in Kenting were really pretty. The water was turquise blue and the sand was light tan, but the sand was very rocky! It didn't have giant rugged rocks all over the beach, but more smaller coral like and smooth rocks. The sand was also very course like tiny little pebbles. 


We all graffiti. However, it's much more interesting finding graffiti in another language. I like to imagine that this might say something like Pee-Wee Herman rules on! 


Oh yes, that's right... he's shirtless and oh so confident. oh, and studly.


I heart you too.
