woooooo. so unfortunately, instead of going to orchid island, took a trip to taipei instead. there was a typhoon about 2 weekends ago, and that prevented all the ferries and boats leaving for orchid island to be postponed til this weekend (YAY!) so anyway, as usual, i'll let my pictures speak for my wonderful adventure.

[taiwanese presidential office building, 1 block down from where my hotel was]
