November 20th to 29th:
Hello, went to Taiwan during the last holiday. Went with my Taiwanese buddies to 九份 and 野柳. Firstly went to see the rock formations at Ye Liu with by TAIWANESE BUDDIES! :D Haha, mainly fossils and perculiar rock formations around... cool. had lunch there as well and the whole stretch was filled with tons of different live seafood. Got a free seashell from there as well from a nice man. :) Also went to Jiu Fen where I found a shop that sold cool seashells at a cool price! had to bargain abit although... altogether 400 台币.
Port hloes in the rocks...
From the top of the rock there. Clear waters belows...
Shells and rocks litter the beach. But most of it are broken so i took just a few for a momento. :)
Fossilised Sand Dollars.
Ye Liu again..
The way to eternal life.. haha :P No, this is a road that leads to the top of Ye Liu. Lookd like some scene from an ancient Chinese movie show.
Edible Sea Urchins
La La and lobsters. La La (Meretrix meretrix)
Jiu Fen Street. Used to be a Japanese Quarters during the Gold Rush but eventually, the gold ran out and the place abandoned by the Japanese. The Taiwanese tehm came to re-populate the street and boom! Jiu Fen street :) actually situated on a mountain so had to climb a REALLY steep slope before getting there..
The outside of the store. Sign = Please put the shells back in their original compartments as they all command a different price. This man also had a HUGE collection of other rare seashells but refused to let me take a picture... T_T... So sad that I was only left with 500NT and could only buy 2 shells
The orchid murex, firebrand murex and miyoko murex were purchased from the store while the other shell was given free :)
