Taipei Trip Day 3

Last night, we had a lot of fun camping outdoors and sleeping with our schoolmates in the tents we pitched. Although the weather was turning quite cold, all of us managed to survive the night. In the morning, we were greeted with a warm Taiwanese breakfast of glutinous rice and soya bean milk.

After breakfast, we waited eagerly for the hike. The local tour agents informed us that we will be climbing the Elephant mountain (象山), which is one of the famous "Four Beasts Mountains"( 四兽山) in Taipei. The foot of the mountain was within walking distance from the school, we were delighted when our buddies and many of their parents came to join us for the hike. Most of us were panting and perspiring along the way, it was not a easy hike but it was worth the effort as we enjoyed the breathtaking view of Taipei city and Taipei 101 at the different rest points.

We spent some time cleaning up the school and unpitching the tents before going back with our host families. We are looking forward to see our friends and share stories with them tomorrow!
