We took a couple of days and went with some friends to a lake in the center of Taiwan called Sun Moon Lake. It's called that because the lake has two parts, one is in the shape of a sun and one is in the shape of a moon. Don't ask me where because it was too big to figure out which was which. But it was nice anyway, there are also some funny pictures from our time there:
Jess and I at afore mentioned lake. Where, by the way, there were some teenagers taking pictures of themselves jumping...maybe we're old school but we'll just stand
This is not at the lake but in the town of Puli (poo-lee). This is one of Taiwans largest buddhist monasteries. But in reality it's just a tourist attraction. We were told it cost around 150 million US dollars to build.
This handsome fella greeted us upon arrival
An interesting array of lions, buddhas, and giant three-headed men (unfortunately you can't see the giant's other two heads, but trust me, they are there)
A view from the inside looking out
Back to the lake! The sign says that swimming is prohibited and if caught you will be flogged by a wet noodle (just kidding) but swimming is prohibited because it's too cold (really)
This is me and my wife....at the lake......surprise!
This is a temple overlooking the lake
This is me trying to look "natural" but I look more like a stalker
more scenery from the temple (minus Jason the Stalker)
More to come later!

I would have liked to see Jason flogged by a wet noodle. I would have contributed some spaghetti. Sounds like a great experience :)
