taiwan part 1

I went to Taiwan over Christmas and New Year's to see family. Loved the warm weather in the south (my family's from Kaohsiung), but then I went up to Taipei to meet up with my boyfriend and it was much colder there (though still much warmer than Japan!).

We drove up to Nantou to stay at a hot springs hotel (my family loves hot springs...it's all they do when they come visit me in Japan too!) and stopped by the famous Sun Moon Lake.

Crossing a bridge to get to our hotel.

Sun Moon Lake. This was really beautiful, but so many tourists!

We cooked some eggs in the natural hot springs.

Part 2 will be up tomorrow: night market!
