Yingge


A lot of people play cycling, fly kites, and jogging here, in Yingge. It's a very small town located near the border of New Taipei City and Taoyuan City. There are around 88,000 people live here. But on the weekdays, most of people here go to other city to work so that just few people you can see especially in the day time.

What an amazing city. On the weekends, this small town becomes popular and attracting. Tourists from other cities nearby come here to see potteries, to visit Ceramics Old Street, and get in the Museum for free. A very busy town it can be and a quiet one it usually is. This is Yingge. Welcome to check it out how wonderful it actually is.

Morning


Good morning, Yingge.
I made my breakfast in the new house.
I'm enjoying here.
Hope it's a good day n so is everyday.

半澤直樹

I watch movies here.

The feedback is, I think I don't really like this drama after around a year ago I've seen legal high which owned the same main character and similar plot of play.

But it's still a good drama for sure. So many Japanese and Taiwanese are crazy about it. That's why I just check it out. That's it.

I don't like dark or political stories, btw.

I Hate Cockroach



I just move into this house which is around 4-year-old, looks quite new and shouldn't have cockroaches. But after staying here for few days, more and more roaches come out in font of me. I think they bothered me really a lot, made me upset. So again, I bought this chemical material, called boric acid, mixing them with flour and sugar and then waited for a night. 

Guess what ? I couldn't get any luck for this time. 


Some friends on the FB told me that probably these roaches prefer salty food. Maybe I could mix with beer as well. I followed what they said and tried again. However, these animals didn't seem disappeared for God's sake. 

That's it. I need a new way to fix this problem.

Moved On

About my new house, I noted some info as followings.

Bank

 I chose the loan interest rate at 1.88% from Fubon Bank. I guess this rate is quite nice at present.

Transportation

If I have to take the train for commutation for job in the future, to buy a monthly ticket is better. Moreover, I found that Taoyuan is the nearest big city for me, not Banqiao any more. So sad....

Boracay Island


I went to Boracay with my friend, Mark. It was an awesome great trip except for some argues and terrible long-distance transportation. Frankly speaking, I had a good time from this trip. Hope he did as well.

The picture shown above is Puka Beach. It's beautiful but we actually couldn't enjoy very much there cus it rained a lot as long as we just arrived. And unfortunately it stopped raining while we were going to leave.

Very clean beach and full of shells. It's definitely worth to come again.


I lived in Seabird International Resort which located in a nice place in S2 zone nearby D'Mall between White Beach and Main Road. This cat belongs to it. One day morning she/he came to our room and seemed very patiently to stay. I had some great interactions with her/him.

Morning, good kid.


I made an mistake. That is, forgot to check-out. Oops, so what could I do at that moment ? Very unluckily, I tried to find a post station in the Kalibo airport and Clark airport but failed to get it. Therefore, I returned my room's key via airmail when I arrived in Taiwan. Hope Jojo Gencianeo who is a nice friendly stuff of resort will receive soon.



I also participated in some activities such as Zorb Zipline and Parasailing. I strongly recommend Zorb although the activity time is quite shorter than Parasailing, around 10 secs and 15 mins respectively. Just try it, Zorb, costs only 380 peso (2 persons' price, 760 total in this case), otherwise you might regret for this trip.



The last, I think I probably will go again in the future to enjoy massage, crazy soft sands, BBQ, and a sunset which I didn't see for this time. Very nice and relax place !
