So this past Friday, I did a little \u8acb\u5047ing (ie not going to school) and went down to \u9ad8\u96c4 (G\u0101oxi\u00f3ng\/Kaohsiung) for the day. I&#8217;d really wanted to go to Gaoxiong because I&#8217;d heard it&#8217;s a lot like San Diego, where I&#8217;m from, and it totally was!<\/p>\n<p>I started off by going to <span lang=\"zh-Hant\">\u84ee\u6c60\u6f6d (<\/span><span lang=\"zh-Latn-pinyin\">Li\u00e1nch\u00ed T\u00e1n &#8211; eng: Lotus Pond), which is a super cool lake surrounded by a ton of temples; it was super peaceful to walk around. Afterwards, I stopped by the Love River, and then went down to the Pier 2 Arts District. I think its due to the proximity of the water, but the temperature was very nice and it really did feel a lot like downtown San Diego \ud83d\ude42 Afterwards, I went and biked the island of Cijin (I had to take a ferry to get there, meaning I&#8217;ve now taken all forms of public transit in Taiwan), which was again, very peaceful and enjoyable. I then went to a night market, and headed back to Taipei. I still love the Gaotie; one direction between Taipei and Gaoxiong was only 90 minutes. Overall, a very successful and enjoyable day trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, I finally went out to the Maokong Gondola! Yesterday (Saturday), my language partner and I took the gondola to the Maokong station, and then walked around, had some tea ice cream, and then went back. Afterwards, Alison and I went up to Shilin night market, which we still somehow hadn&#8217;t gone to! It was a great night market, and super crowded; I&#8217;m really going to miss Taipei&#8217;s night markets and just the liveliness and vibrance of the city late at night. Today (Sunday), I fully packed, to get ready to leave on Saturday. Just one more week of classes!<\/p>\n<p>See y&#8217;all next week for one last post!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1489\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1489\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1489\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/study-abroad-in-asia\/files\/2022\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-15-at-12.25.52-AM-300x186.png\" alt=\"Gaoxiong Cat\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gaoxiong!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>(we seem to have run out of photo space on this site, so no more photos here, unfortunately)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u5927\u5bb6\u597d\uff01 This is going to be my second to last blog post, since this upcoming week is the final one in Taiwan, which is absolutely insane!
