This morning, I went to Victoria Peak. Here are three pictures from the Peak Terrace and Findlay Dr. road leading up to the peak.

I imagine the weather in Taiwan is similar to Hong Kong's hot, humid climate. Hong Kong's summer climate is certainly more intense than Washington, D.C., despite D.C. being built on a swamp.

Hiking up to the peak was a trek and I was extremely sweaty and wet. I always enjoy hiking, though, because of the scenic panoramas. I will definitely go hiking when I am in Taiwan.

Hey Shiela,
I have been to Victoria Park as well! :) Did you take a cable car up there? Would you post some pictures of the FOOD you eat? Please?
=p

Love,

Shiela, great seeing you in Hong Kong. We are rocking out to your mixed CD and miss you.

Good luck in Taiwan! We know you will be a great representative of US ideals, Fulbright values and cutural exchange.

Be sure to post about your adventures!

All the best,

your unjustifiably typecast nagging Aunt and Uncle

p.s. look out for the minibuses in Taipei--they are known as the flying carts of death.
