Long journey

This morning, we had a long travelling to Hualien (花莲). A place with lots of earthquakes.

4 hours of travelling and I slept during the trip as there was nothing to do. Our tour guide is good as he talked a lot on health topics that kept most of us listening to his talk. He gave quite a lot of info as he is a researcher on chinese medicine. He told us.... If you are drinking mike, STOP IMMEDIATELY! He said that milk is not giving us any good to our health and will harm us. He recommended few books for us to read and said that many people want to buy books from Taiwan as only Taiwan dares to publish the truth. We will try to find the books and buy for reading. Hee hee... I can have excuse not to drink milk liao.

When we reached Hualien, we visited Taroko Gorge first. We walked to the waterfall with spring water. Our tour guide told us the origin of this place and it made the trip not so boring.

Next we went to Lingzhi center. Same thing, attended a talk and though we told ourselves that we would not buy any products, in the end bought the lingzhi tablets and royal jelly. Cost us a bomb. However, it is for health care. So ok lah. Heart a bit pain... but home these products can bring us good health and nice complexion. The lingzhi tablets are actually for my parents to lower down their cholesterol and high blood. I intent to eat too to see if it can lower my bolder line high blood pressure.

After buying, I am still wondering now whether we bought it because of the usefulness of the products or are our minds waiver due to the persuasion by the staff???

Tonight's hotel room is a simple one as we are now at a ulu countryside. Had to sleep earlier as tomorrow, we have to leave the hotel by 7am. It will be another long journey back to Taipei.
