Change of Guard

Hi everyone, I haven’t been updating this place as I should. I’ll make a proper post in the near future so in the mean time, please enjoy this lovely shot of a change of guard in progress that I took when I was in Taiwan. The guards were impressive, not a single one moved an inch or even blinked when they were on duty. The change of guard routine involved a long march towards the palace where they then performed some rifle drills, change guards, then march back to the entrance.

Fishing

More from Taiwan! So the second day took us to the place where the Queen’s Head is located, as well as Ocean World. It was quite entertaining, so many tourists were queuing up just to take a photo with the Queen’s Head and they even got into heated arguments. Lovely shite. The Ocean World performance was quite lacklustre, but still entertaining nonetheless. After lunch, the tour guide then led us to an antique town build on top of a hill. Plenty of shopping to be done there.

More photos after the jump.

A Taiwanese palace whose name totally eludes me

Well the trip to Taiwan was pretty exciting! The first 2 weeks and a bit were spent in a certain somewhere doing a certain something which cannot be disclosed to the public so feel free to let your imaginations run wild! Perhaps it was crabbing, maybe tight-rope walking or even launching a super secret battleship into the fabrics of the space time continuum!…

Ok no, none of that happened, I assure you it was a lot more mundane in comparison to the battleship thing but definitely more fun than crabbing…to a degree. The first bit was rather boring and involved more than enough sleep during the day, maybe too much. But the last few days were exciting and super fun, lots of laughs and adrenaline involved.

Posting this from the free internet access terminals at Singapore Changi Airport at the moment, got about 10 minutes before my flight and 5 minutes left on the terminal ticker. Enjoying a lovely Mocha Frappucino to get my sugar levels up.

Anyway, I’ll be sure to take lots of photos so check you guys in about a month’s time. See ya all.
