This is my second trip to Taiwan this time, however, there is a lot happening as opposed to just hanging out with family like previous trips.
Since there is a big gay circuit party in Taiwan, a lot of Shinning's friends are going to be there, though I plan to spend new years with my family while they are there.
Aside from what I plan to do in Taiwan with coming out and stuff, we are also touring the island.
I think we leave around 1/2 or 1/3, depending on how everyone's feeling, and we would be taking the around the island rail.
I don't think I have actually done that before, and I certainly haven't stopped by most of the counties in Taiwan.
It'll be a blast. I just need to e-mail my cousins and sister on what we are going to do around new years time.
So our plan is to stay from 12/28 to 1/3(?) in Taipei, and leave for Hua-Lien's Toroko Gorge. Honestly, aside from being able to speak/read Chinese/Mandarin/Taiwanese, I have no advantage over the fellow visitors. I have no idea where things are, I don't know what sites to see, and most of my memories about the island outside of Taipei is a bit fuzzy.
(I am not even entirely sure that there is a railroad on the east coast until someone suggested we take the around the island rail tour)
BUT that's ok. Lots of people already started planning, so I wouldn't have much to worry about.
I think with this trip done, I won't be taking vacations in Taiwan unless going home to visit relatives and friends.
I honestly think we can rent a big gay bus with 16 people going with us all at once.

Thinking about it gets me a little excitement now and then.
