A Beautiful city

The past few days have been beautiful...yet almost unbearable! 35 degrees isnt something i´d normally complain about but lets just say I for once appreciate the air conditioner on full blast!

These pictures are taken from the roof of the building im living in. Its not exactly made for tanning up there but why not?





Yesterday we went to one of the mountains located close to the Xinyi district and the Taipei 101 building (which was the tallest building in the world from 2004-2010); Elephant mountain. After getting slightly lost trying to find the way from the station to the trail it didn't take more than a minute or two until we were saved by three locals who could sense we needed help. Luckily they were also on their way there which ment we had just gotten ourselves three personal guides. The Taiwanese are so friendly and helpful it surprises me everytime.

Its really increadible how close the nature is to the city.

Very steep and 35 degrees....not a good combination!
