We had a full day on Saturday (4/22). We woke up early and headed to Lambai Island. We took the MRT to then take a bus to get to the fairy, and took a fairy to the island. Here we were supposed to have a snorkeling outing, but a storm had just passed over the island, so the waves were too high to do any snorkeling. Instead we rented scooters and decided to explore the island. We had to rent 8 scooters, there were sixteen of us on our adventures today. It sounds chaotic with so many people, and not really a plan of action anymore, but the whole day went smoothly and everyone was very go with the flow. The first thing we did was grab a bunch of lunch items and snacks from the store and then brought them to the beach where we had a picnic and did some swimming. We had scooters for the entire afternoon and it was great, it is one of our favorite things to here! We made it around to various monumental sports around the island, and even grabbed some snow ice! When we made it back to Kaohsiung, we went to the most famous night market to get some dinner! As we headed back home, it started pouring on us, our ponchos that Joyce gave us came in handy on our walk home! We had a great day, and ready for a good sleep!
Sunday
A more relaxing day (4/23), but still very busy! We left our apartment at 10 am and drove to Tainan again to visit the Guanziling mud hot springs! There is a park near by that has a natural gas production near a small area of water where the fire naturally burns and meets the water. We spent most of the afternoon relaxing in the hot springs, covering our selves in mud, and getting out feet nibbled on my tiny fish. After we cleaned and finished up, we had worked up quite the appetite. We went to a famous chicken restaurant near the hot spring and got served the freshest chicken I think that anyone has ever had. We were warned that it was cooked with its head, feet, and all! I was a bit nervous to have my food be looking at me; but people here actually enjoy to eat that part of the chicken. Lucky, Joyce ordered one without those parts so we did not have to get starred down by our food. It was the most delicious chicken that I have ever eaten. When we got back to Kaohsiung, we went to the Mega mall to do a little shopping and get some ice cream, our favorite thing to do! We went home to rest and get ready for our last week in the classroom, a crazy thought that I do not think any of us have fully realized yet.
