Summer Holiday in Taiwan . Tainan.

Third stop, Tainan. A very cultural and friendly town. Full of nice food and nice people here. But when we reach here we caught into a heavy rain, which is very rare in Tainan. Heard the local said Tainan use to be a very hot weather city, something special when we come lo~
                              tn_01
Our “hostel” is more homely type call 静巷十号. The owner call Sherry, she is very helpful and sweet lady. The exterior of the hostel look like Santorini kind of feel. So romantic neh~~~~
                              tn_02
Our room, look like some honeymoon room right?�
                              tn_03
Underpass at Tainan city, the traffic is so busy that you don’t have chance to J-walk. Not risk your life, better use the underpass.
                              tn_04
Huge burger at burger king.
tn_05
Nice shoot by Vis. He warn me not to copy his style -.-
                                tn_06
