Life is sooo Good!: Sun Moon Lake

Lindsay and I took another weekend trip last weekend to Sun Moon Lake. It is about two hours away and we took a train and a bus to get there. We found a nice hotel to stay in- and even talked down the price! This is our romantic mosquito net! haha. I waited for my prince to come wake me up, but I guess he is still fighting the dragon!

This is the Match Maker temple- and there was a line of girls when we got there- waiting to see if they made a good match! If praying to a Buddhist Match Maker will get me one step closer to my match- then I'll take whatever works!

Lindsay and I offered our own prayer to the Match Maker!

The Wen Wu temple complex was incredible. It had three tiers of different temples in ascending height- and the view on the roof of the tallest was incredible!

I could hear all the shutter-bugs clicking when I struck this pose!

How can you resist a face like this?

Lindsay and I purchased discounted tickets from the owner of our hotel to the Formosa Aboriginal Cultural Village. She didn't speak any English- and we had heard this was a good place to see the aborigines of Taiwan- the first to inhabit the isle Formosa. I was expecting something like the PCC- but we found an amusement park instead! It was a delightful surprise- and AGAIN there were so few people that we rarely had to wait in line! They did have a village with different huts and a few performances- but it was mostly park! They even had Mayan, Caribbean, Alien, Jurassic, and European themes. Not quite the cultural experience I was expecting- but amazing all the same!

Awesome coy pond- they swam around all the rocks you walk out on!

One of these things is not like the others!

Here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving feast! We had over 20 people- and we ate on the roof of our building! It was a blast. All the food was made from scratch!
