Tainan again...

I just left Tainan, this time on my own rented scooter, off to Kaohsiung. In Tainan I have been staying with Peter, my good

friend from the emergency command center at the fire department. I am always looking forward to see him, his wife Amanda and

their daughter Xiao Mi again. This time again he borrowed me his scooter, so I was free to visit friends. The first day I met

with Frank, one of the voulenteers who is still in Tainan, still taking classes so he can keep his Visa and still teaching

english for a living. I also visited the fire department on saturday. Because of the Taiphoon that has been rocking the island

many people where there, also the Chief. I again met with the reporter who once wrote that story about me and my brother and he

thought me being back to ride a motorbike around the island was newsworthy. So, the day after I met with the daughter of the

Firedepartment Chief who now works for a big newspaper to collect informations about me and my travel.
Another good time was on saturday night, when the choir of Cheng Gong University met for Moon Festival Hot Pot. This might be

the last year with some of my friends still being there, many already graduated and new people joined.
After having Hot Pot together we still watched the Dark Knight, really interesting movie.
On Monday I went to Xinying to pick up my motorcycle and ride it back to Tainan. There I went to see the ICYE Office and then

also a new exchangee and Tobias, who has been at the firedepartment the year after us.
And now on tuesday I am off to Kaohsiung and then Kending.
My original plan to take the mountainroads was thwarted, because both big routes have suffered massive damage by landslides and

floods, as this Taiphoon moved particularly slow, unloading up to 1600 mm of rain to one single spot. So I will have to keep in

the coastal area this time.
More soon.
