hello from pingtung

pingtung

here i am with wifey and my parents in pingtung

sorta a mini-vacation

we are in hengchun to be exact

my dad was born here in hengchun so we are here due to the tomb sweeping holidays

we were hoping to escape the crappy weather in taipei since it's usually pretty nice and warm here year-round

no luck

it's cold and windy down here with a bit of rain

still, it's not as bad as up north

we are just 10 minutes drive away from kenting

you know what that means

spring scream! (called spring wave this year)

oh so tempting but no

we don't want anything to do with that drug infested mayhem

still, i will definitely find me some bar in kenting and have a few beers

it's only the right thing to do

gotta go, gotta go... don't have much time

we rarely come down here nowadays, so got lots of family and friends to see

for those in taiwan, enjoy the holidays

later...

i've always wanted to go to spring scream, but not if its drug infested! too bad that good things get messed up by bad people....

michael... watching the news, it seems a lot of the drugs are being caught in private house parties and such. we usually wouldn't attend those anyways so i think we'd be ok. i think it's still a fun event and you should definitely go one of these years. we've gone to it before and it was a lot of fun. we would have joined in the festivities if we could, but for some personal reasons we have to stay away from all that this time around.
