What's up with the "Welcome" sign!?

Green Island originated from an underground volcano, so as you can see... its shoreline is littered with rock formations like these

Anti-communistic slogans on cliff walls

Propaganda? What do you think?

"We must fight against Communism!"

This is the cell where political prisoners are jailed. About 10 people are squeezed into each cell...

Spring time has arrived! Woohoo~ Went for a 3 day 2 night trip to Kaohsiung and KenTing last weekend, but I only managed to find time to upload the pictures today haha...... I've been busy with projects and presentations~

Kaohsiung Railway Station. We took the coach instead because all the trains were full. It's tomb-cleaning day（清明節）/ Spring Break weekend. Power

Juz in time to try out the Kaohsiung MRT. It was free because the system was still under trial.

Train approaching.

That's A LOT of stuff to set up and keep for a games stall at the 瑞豐 (Rui Feng) night market. The place is big, with well over 50 stores selling food and clothing etc.

KenTing main street. You get the feeling that almost EVERYONE is coming here for the 春呐音樂節 (Spring Scream Music Festival). Just look at the amount of traffic.
