Me, Andreas and Maciej (A Polish “bratnaki” who studies finance for 
one semester in NTU, came from Warsaw btw.) left Taipei at 6:00 am on Friday by the good old Golf. It was a very nice sunny day without any cloud on the sky. It was around 26-27C in the capital but 31-32C in our destination. I really don’t understand why people has problem with autumn :P…coz I love it! :) We drove on the highways all way long, but it still took more than 6 hours to get to Kenting. Again, Taiwanese drivers are so unbelievable…even if there are 3 or 4 lines on the highway they occupy all of them by driving with the same speed. The other thing is that Kenting is one of the most popular destinations on the national holiaday…so that’s why a 300 km’s way took this much of time…

for more places. The beach here is absolutely fantastic. I can not compare it to any other…it’s just simply exotic! After we admired the beautiful sunset we started to look for some accommodation…but nowhere was any free room in the city…there was no way back…we moved down on the coastline a few km’s till we luckily found 3 free rooms in a local family’s “motel” like house. They were really kind persons. The son of the grandma took us into the city by his small pick-up track. We were standing on the flat of the car attracting heavy attention among the crowd as we “marched” into the centre of Kenting. Randomly some guys felt free to join us so than the truck become a bit overloaded…:)
They were really funny guys who
also liked that suddenly they became the centre of the attention too. As we arrived to the centre, our first way was to have some dinner with them. It was nice to get to know other Taiwanese students outside from Taipei. Some of them do military service through 1 year. This is very strict in Taiwan and the guys have to take it very seriously. After the delicious local food all of us went to the beach where most of the people come to enjoy the sound of the sea and the moonlight with some beers and good company around the fire… Just like we did! It was an awesome time we spent there with these Taiwanese guys. When they left the three of us still felt enough power to rock the night in a local club…I think we managed it… :)
