The Last 2 Weekends In Pictures

Last weekend Myron and I headed out to the art museum (see picture above). The art was quite modern, surprisingly, and Myron and I had fun interacting with some of the art as pictured here.
 This weekend we decided to head out to the night market.  The sights, the smells, and the amount of people was a bit overwhelming.  By far, the most overwhelming smell of all was that of a dish known as stinky tofu.  Apparently, it is a local favorite, but in attending this particular market, I can say that the smell of stinky tofu did not entice me to want to eat it nor anything else at the market.  Myron and I commented that it would have been nice if we had had a night market guide- someone who could recommend what to try that we wouldn't later regret. 
 










Finally, this weekend we also hiked up Monkey Mountain, which is my very favorite of all that we have done in Kaohsiung thus far.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves.  Truly beautiful and minutes away from where we live.  


Next weekend we are heading out of the big city to Taitung, which is up in the mountains and out on the eastern coast,  where supposedly we will relax in hot springs, one of which will apparently be in our 5 star hotel room.  Want to come visit yet?

Right you are, Amy! I'm already picking out an outfit because I want to make a good first impression on all those monkeys.

Love the monkeys. 5-star hotel? The life of an American teacher abroad is so glamorous! Who knew? We missed you at supper club last night!
