Lien: “Mama, are you a foreigner?” “No, why?” “Because you can talk in English, I only know some words!”
there are some many aspects showing what a nice country Taiwan is 
this man made a terrible noise with his leaf blower. BUT before starting, he warned me and said sorry
Li and I met at 8:30 to go to the HSR station and after a short good-bye (we will meet each other “soon” anyway, which means in a few years), she left to the office and I stayed there until 15:19 when my train left for Taichung.
Staying in this case meant to sit down in a Starbucks for the first time in my life and eating a cake. I guess it was produced in Taiwan and there was no plastic around it, so I hope the damage of this interruption of Starbucks boycott is not to harmful. Why did I do that?! Because I could sit there for hours and could plug in my PC and work. It is easy to corrupt me.
In Taiwan they like to organize everything neatly
In Taichung, I took the same way back to the café of Carrie, but in less hurry, so I could see the city “coming nearer”, first through village-like areas with rice fields, then suburbs, then city and skyscrapers.
From the café, we left to a park where Lien had her pushbike class. It was impressing to see the teacher dealing with those young kids and to see them racing through the parkour and being so active for more than 1,5 hours and after the class still having enough energy to go to the playground.
fill moon rising – it is tie for lantern festival! 
warming up 
yes, they ARE really fast, but my camera just cannot cope with darkness
It was the adults who had to stop Lien, because we had to go on to the bike shop where Eleanor, another couchsurfer staying with LAN was waiting for us.
Gorilla, as the owner of the bike shop is called, had down a great job with my bike, it looks good, because he cleaned it completely, so all parts are shiny like new and some are.
Eleanor and rode to LAN’s home on those cool bikes.
We sat down for a while and even did a fast Bürgschaft-recording before going to sleep in a big extra room the Amy and Neil have ready to use for guests.
