Confucius Temple (June 7, 2009)
On Sunday, June 7, Joanne, Tim, and I went into Taipei to find the Confucius Temple. Unfortunately, my camera became nonfunctional while taking pictures there. But Joanne and Tim had their cameras. Here’s some shots with Joanne’s digital.

To the Top of Mt. Cising (June 6, 2009)
Joanne, Tim, and I hiked to the top of Mt. Cising (Seven Star Mountain). The trail began at SiaoYouGeng, a fumarole in the side of the mountain. It led to the West Peak and from there we also went to the East Peak before heading back.

Shilin and the Temple (June 3-4, 2009)
On June 3, Joanne, Tim, and I went to Shilin Night Market. If you look closely, you can find Joanne in the photo of the market street. The next day I took a few shots of the temple on the mountain across the valley from us from our apartment window.

Trip to Papago (May 31 – June 1, 2009)
One of my student’s parents had a voucher for a free night at Papago International Resort near Taitung that they couldn’t use, so they gave it to me. We took the opportunity to take Tim south on the train, show him some Taiwan countryside, and chill at the resort for two days. We rented bikes to ride out for food and found a strange roadside zoo with pygmy hippos and zebras and other strange animals. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera so didn’t get pics, but I think Tim got some. We spent time at the poolside while there, and otherwise just hung out and had a good time.

Drinking Snake Blood
Joanne, Tim, and I went to Snake Alley, where we watched a snake handler tease a cobra for a while before killing another snake, draining its blood, and taking out its gall bladder.

Longshan Temple and Snake Alley (May 29, 2009)
In the evening, Joanne, Tim, and I headed downtown on the MRT and over to Longshan Temple. After checking out the temple, we walked over to Snake Alley, where restaurants sell snake soup or offer shots of snake’s blood. At one place, a snake handler had a cobra on display, but they didn’t allow photography.

The Temple on the Mountain (May 29, 2009)
The first day after Tim arrived in Taiwan, he, Joanne, and I went for a drive over to a temple on the other side of the valley from our apartment. Joanne and I had never been inside, so we took the opportunity to check it out before continuing on up the mountain for a short drive.
