Taiwan - Hualien 2008/06/01 ~ 2008/06/03

Because of a VISA issue, I couldn't go to the Netherlands for the project as planned. Well, why not take the chance to have a short holidays? Charlene and I made a quick decision of doing nothing in Hualien! :)

There are various B&B(Bed and Breakfast) in Hualien, but it's not easy to find one with original and simple style. Fortunately I found Karimas and it's definitely what we were looking for! It's next to the ocean so we fell into sleep with the sound of the sea, read with the endless ocean view, walked on the rocks along the coastline...

The owner is from Australia. His wife is from Taipei. Life is so relax over there. When we read in the garden, the owner was making a furniture. When we walked back from the coast, he was playing with the dogs and the cat. When we felt like, we chatted a bit. In the morning on the last day, we had the nice breakfast with the owner's wife, and the owner showed us the beautiful seaweed view. Standing on the coast, I didn't want to go back to the city yet and believed that I would come back soon. :)

There are two dogs and one cat. Mulla, one of the dogs, always slept in front of our door, companying us to the kitchen, the shower room, or the coast. When we see the sight of her back watching the ocean on the coast, we really think she considers herself a human being. :P

The website of Karimas is at http://www.karimas.url.tw/ (click "welcome")
If you are looking for a well decorated, modern or fancy place, don't go there.

This time I didn't go to Taroko gorge. However for photos of last trip with another friend Fareh, please check http://picasaweb.google.com.tw/aprilhsutw/TaiwanHualien2007.
