20160405-07 Six Friends in Kaohsiung

Jacky is one of my best friends in high school, he’s studying at the National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology (NKFUST). When the bus arrived in Kaohsiung, Owen and I got off while the rest heading north to Taipei. One month before our graduation trip, I was planning this small extra trip for myself as a vacation, I always wanted to visit Jacky, and I’m glad I could finally make it. Owen was born in Kaohsiung, he was willing to be my tour guide and I was eager to introduce Jacky to him. Although they didn’t know each other till they met, they both had quite a lot of friends in common, so they made it not just a trip for the three of us, but with three more girls from NKFUST, the only thing I knew about them was that it’s not going to be just a trip, but more than that. Jacky was so kind, he came to where I dropped off from the bus and picked me up, soon we went to a famous restaurant called 楊寶寶

which offered a variety of traditional Taiwanese food, I liked it very much. We were thinking where to go, Jacky then took me downtown, a wharf then a mountain that is known for wild monkeys, however I didn’t see any since it was late at night. At first I felt chilling but soon the temperature dropped, I could hardly stand the cold. he took me to a secret place which was said to be a perfect spot for couples, we had to crawl through a winding path with bushes. There were only the two of us, we just kept talking like time didn’t exist. We still had to go back to his apartment or we would not look too good when we met our “new friends” tomorrow.

Frankly to say, I was feeling a little nervous about meeting new friends, but Bee, Chloe and Ying, they were such people I could easily get along with, there was no ice to break at all. After breakfast, we went to the campus to take photos, they were all professional posters and I looked like just a clown. Fun fact, they had a kind of Ubike system on the campus exclusively for the students, their university was huge, you can even ride motorcycles, so the school provided free bikes for those who need to catch classes from colleges to colleges. 

Later, we decided to go to Tainan other than to explore their own turf, it sounds strange but I’m cool with that. It was burning hot and we had to ride for 2 hours to get to Tainan. I think we just spent too much time on the motorcycles. In Tainan, you just eat, eat, then still eat. Also, we went to some cultural and creative places.

  

  

When the sun was going to go under the horizontal line, we were at the beach trying to see as much as we can of the precious moment. 

At night, we had beef noodle and bought some puddings to a mountain. Although the mountain was not tall, I liked the atmosphere we shared together. It was quite late, Owen couldn’t catch the last MRT to go back, so Jacky just sent him back to his home.

We truly had a big day, everyone was tired. When Jacky and I went back, we still chatted on bed till 4 a.m., the morning when I had to go back, we went to a class together, the professor found out my identity which caused some side stories, what a fuss.
