I realized my blogs have been dwindling. I would like to say that I've been so busy running around all of Taiwan that I simply don't have the time. That the videos take too long to upload and it's a pain in the ass. But truth be told, I spend most of my time resisting the urge to scratch my monstrous mosquito bites. See the trick is to scratch around them. Tricky. And time consuming. That and I've been lazy. And there are no videos because Connie's got a new camera!
This past Sunday we went to the Calla Lilly Festival at YaoMingShan. For a small fee, you get to hand-pick Calla Lillies of your choice. Pretty cool considering I had no fucking clue what a Calla Lilly was before I got there. The weather was generous for the first half of the day, cuz lord it rains more than Forks, Washington. From the top of the mountain, you get to see all of Taipei City but I didn't get in any of those pics because we spent most of our time in the garden and hiking along a short trail. What does that mean? That there will be a YaoMingShan Part Deux!
The farm...
A sign that means absolutely nothing to me...
But it must've been important.
The picking and massive picture-taking begins...

The way he was posing with that umbrella, he was dying to have his picture taken!
Mission accomplished! We made the guys take this picture for us and they complimented us for our flaming choice of pose. I sadly agreed but they wouldn't take the picture unless I conformed. It was hilarious. On the bright side, my mom's going to love this picture. The flowers would've been a cheap yet thoughtful Mother's Day gift...so I sent her a picture of what I would've given her. Even cheaper and less thoughtful.
Then we went for a short hike up the mountain, with lizards galore...eek!
And finally, to reward ourselves for a job well done we settled down for tea time at a nice little bubble tea cafe where I tried a soothing cup of hot pine nut milk tea. And then hit the Shilin Night Market for some super cheap shopping!
Hiking, tea time, and shopping. Can life get any better? (Yes yes, I know it can but shut up and let me indulge alright? Jackass.)
