Kenting national Park and Kaoshiung

Kenting national park and Kaoshiung are visited - checked!

Today was a little bit cloudy, so some of us have decided to visit park in Kenting. It's pretty far, but it has worth it. We've created a group of five persons and we're heading up. Violetta (trainee from Belorussia) and Marius (trainee from Germany) were running pretty fast, so me, Freddy and his friend Lydia were going together. The journey has been never ending and still straight to the hill. I was sweating so much.. And it was very humid this day. After about 3km walking straight to the hill, some car had stopped by us and took us to the park. It has been quite funny, because we've passed by Violetta and Marius and they were very shocked to see us on the hill earlier than they :-)

Anyway Freddy and Lyvia went to another city and I've entered the Kenting National Park with Violetta and Marius. It has been really great day. I've enjoyed it a lot. We've seen a lot of nature. From our almost four our tour around Kenting park I liked very much the view from one tower, special caves and whole the nature around.. On the pictures are some moments from our journey.

Silver Dragon Cave II

This is a stone creature in Stalagmite Cave. I think it looks like a fox, do you see it?

The view from the Viewing Tower

From plants mainly crazy trees, from animals monkeys, lizards, crabs, ants, butterflies and one death snake :-) These animals were everywhere, especially lizards and crabs. I've tried to make some photos, but my camera is not so good. But in my memories there are going to be a lot of these animals. Violetta and Marius are very friendly persons, we've laugh a lot and make a lot of jokes. I liked it a lot. They were both very nice..

Animals

First I've seen a monkey, but it was too fast, so I've taken only this picture :-)

Small animals everywhere

The crab in the park..

This is not only a rock, there is an animal - frog! Find it :-)

Earthworm - at least something I know from my country

Flowers

Nice flower

Red is nice :-)

Kaoshiung in the night

Later we had gone home. We'd found quite cheap taxi to Kaoshiung and we entered it around 6PM. The journey was tight, because we're sitting in one taxi six with the taxi driver. But it has been pretty fast. It took about one hour and forty-five minutes. In Kaoshiung we'd taken a KMRT (Kaoshiong MRT) and went for some dinner. We'd found something like Night Market and ate a little. Later I've decided to see second highest building in Taiwan. It's name is Tunex Sky Tower and you can visit 74th floor by high-speed elevator. I've finally found it on 22:05. But it has closed on 22:00. I begged the lady to let me in, but she said only for 350NTD to 75th floor to some restaurant. But I don't want to eat and for one view it's too expensive. Normal entrance fee is 150NTD. I've given up and left. I've been very said. I met other trainee and I said to myself - there must be a way, how I can get to Tunex Sky Tower. I wanted to returned back and Marius and Violetta have supported me to do it. It has been amazing gesture from them. I went to Tunex Sky Tower again and asked one more time. At first the answer were no, only 350NTD, later that I can use credit card, later one small view from normal entrance fee and at the end for free! I was so so happy! I took high-speed elevator and see a view from 75th floor. And I've tried to make some pictures :-) It has been perfect end of my Tour around Taiwan. Later we took night bus to Taipei and have a dream about our amazing Study Tour.

I've been in 75th floor of Tunex Sky Tower!

The view has been amazing

At the end I'd like to thank you, OC Study Tour (Organization Committee) - Vera, Polly and Joy, for taking care of me and arranging everything. I would be so lost without you, guys! And thank you trainee for letting me be part of your group. Even thou there were some misunderstandings I've enjoyed it a lot - a lot. Thank you very much! Hope to see you one day again.. Maybe in Czech Republic :-)

Hsei Hsei Bye Bye!!
