We drove long Highway 1 and connected to the National free way no. 2 - the Pacific Ocean highway; expecting a very bad traffic, so the not-moving car and anxious drivers' abnormal / irregular driving behaviors didn't cause our trouble. I booked a room in I-lan for the sake of keeping a shelter for the family, we don't have a purpose to be somewhere or see anyone, so, the driving itself create fun already. I prepare more than 60 CD's in the car, this is my homework, I maximise the traffic time to do my Golden Meloday Award judge task. 12 hours back and forth on the road gave me great chance to review 1/3 of the albums, as the Chief commisioner for the panels, I must review all the enroll once at least.
we stop by Hai-Yuang sea food restaurant for a late lunch the first day, we had our lunch around 1:30 pm, the Super large crab become my wife's favorite, as she is our driver, the hard working one, so, on our way back, we revisited Hai-Yuang again and she order the crab once; on the road by 2:30 pm, the traffic hit us, we take 5 hours to I-lan, checking the hotel Fu-Shiang by 7:00, when conducting my registration, I help out one foreiger who have problem order the food for dinner, there's no English manu for instuctions, this is a unfriendly situation, even thought we -- the locals value I-Lan one of the best tourist county in Taiwan, the facility and accommodation lay block to foreigener, what a pity.
we have our dinner at the night market - the East Gate, it took 10 minutes from our hotel to the night market by foot, we ate a few , but not appreciate much of the local delicacy, only the pan-flied green oinon oil cake win our appetise. return to hotel by 10:00, kids watching TV - an animation drama until midnight. we had a good night.
I woke up the following day as usual, brought Fruit to the breakfast buffee, this is complimentary for the hotel guest, and the food court was amazing, my wife is happy to see so many vegetable duirng the Chinese New Year, we had our breakfast then heading for the one and only stop for this trip - The National Traditional Art Center, my wife have no idea what the art center is about, to be specific, the center should have another name with creativity - such as the traditional creativity and amusement park, the cluture and entertainment park, etc. acturally this is a great great park we ever see in Taiwan, you may spend the whole day here, watch, relax, eating and even playing with all the traditional craftwork in DIY workshops.
We were there 5 house , then heading to a port for late lunch again, Nan-Fan Aou fishman whaft is the destination we go, great sea food, visiting the Gold Ma-Thu temple for a while, we were happy home then, arrived by 9:30 pm, the traffice is much better than we anticipated. we had a great time for the Chinese New Year, it move away the cloud in my head, I almost forget to think hard about my future and the coming trip to Tokyo - the very possible career development answer waiting for me there.
