so my grandparents took me on a day trip to a small town about an hour southeast of taipei, called i-lan. that area is known for its hot springs. the name of every shop and hotel has either "soup" or "fountain" in it. and supposedly, 10 minutes away, there's a surf spot, which i'll have to check out at some point.
so we had lunch there and then walked around. they own 3 properties there, and it's very interesting to see how the area is being developed. their latest acquisition is this penthouse condo that's currently under construction. they showed me the model home, and its quite nice, with its own tub that pumps in the water from the springs. i took some pictures, will post them shortly. sadly, i lost my lens cap, and the autofocus on my cameri is really out of whack now. wonder if there's someplace to get it fixed in taiwan.
we got back pretty late, and then i rushed back into downtown taipei to go for my first tango lesson in a long time. it was a good lesson, with review of some stuff i know really well (overturn ochos), stuff i'm somewhat comfortable with (direction changes, molinetes), and stuff i'm still struggling with (enrosques and i forget the name of the other).
the class goes until 10:00pm, and i head home. on the way, i pass by a group of 8 western girls, headed towards a bar down the street, and i'm tempted to join them. but i was dead tired, given the time change and everything else, so go home instead. another time. i get home and pass out.
