When I left the hotel, no one was awake, the reception was closed. I took some photos of the place to have a prove that I had been there (if necessary) and left the key on a hidden place.
On today’s way I only took photos from strange fruits that you could buy along the streets every few 100m. On the trees, the are covered with bags, in some cases with old newspaper and even on the tree in that bag they, they also have this Styrofoam net around in which they are sold.
Later, I tasted them and want to say this is not the fruit I would leave Paradise for. And when I started to write about it, I also looked it up in the internet. Its name is Loquat.
Today, I finally photographed one of these many playing cards you find along the streets. Besides money, you also could find them in Vietnam. This card was a bit special, because so far, I only saw numbers.
Today, most probably is my last stay in a big hotel
The bathroom with the only window and glasswalls 
(the last two China nights should be in a hostel) and I hope the last time with a problem. This time, Mr.G brought me exactly to the right building, I only had to find the hidden entrance. But inside, they told me that they cannot host foreigners and they didn’t get any reservation anyway. They helped me finding another hotel, even accompanying me there, but that hotel wanted 800Y/night (the other hotel would have been 189Y). But now, they employees from this hotel helped me to find a 3rd one and made a reservation for me for 198Y. They even would have called a taxi to get me there. So, in the end it was only time consuming and I just hope that booking.com doesn’t take any money for a stay in the first hotel.
In Xiamen I had booked the hostel only for Monday, but now will arrive on Sunday. I had an offer for hosting me one night and now contacted Tang Xie. We also talked about the ferry to Keelung and so, by chance, I learned that there is no ferry on Tuesday to Keelung, only to Taichung and only on Thursday to Keelung. At least two persons had given me this information!
But now I had to find a good plan B, because everything was arranged according to an arrival in Keelung on Wednesday. I had to cancel a CS hosting and a meeting with friends in Taipei, I contacted Amy & Neil in Taichung and luckily also got in contact with Li in Taipei. After some intensive hours of asking, talking, researching, planning, my new plan would be to go to Taichung leave my bike and most of my stuff there and go by train to Taipei and after some day back again.
But now, I don’t want to say “will” instead of “would” because, first I have to reach Xiamen (Tang Xie told me that my route included a bridge to Xiamen Island that is not allowed for bikes and so I looked for an alternative and here is again a ferry involved) and then I want to hold the ticket to Taiwan in my hands before I believe it might work well…
