Taiwan-kaohsiung高雄 & Lamay Island 小琉球

Here I am in Taiwan!

Youth Travel in Taiwan encourage youth from around the world to explore Taiwan, thus before your arrival you should check out their website and apply youth travel card and digital tour buddy phone which allowed you to borrow handphone from them and return before your departure.

We decided to travel south to kaohsiung and Lamay Island so we take a high speed train from taoyuan(Taipei) to Zuoying (kaohsiung). If you are not in rush you can take bus which might take about 4hours to arrived but with highspeed train it take only an hour and of because you need to pay more.

High speed train from Taipei - Zouying (kaohsiung) NT$ 1130

Citytravelinn in kaohsiung about 15-20mins walk to the nearest MRT station

Clean and comfortable

I Love Taiwan!

A trip to remember

Visit few friends in Thailand and they organised an awesome road trip to the orphanages in Shangklaburi- Western Thailand border of Burma(Myanmar) .

Mark, Cody,Dwight, Joel and me rented a van to Shangklaburi. From Thailand to Shangklaburi it take about 6 hours journey.

Baan Unrak Children's Village is the first orphanage we visited

Dwight the funder of InsearchofSanuk organised a party -Lush2 in Bangkok to raised fund for children and we passed the donation to them.

After that we went to Baan Dada do some voluntary works and spent a night

Learning dancing

I was guiding him to brush his teeth and take bath after that he refused to wear his cloth and i though he doesn't likes the shirt , I asked him to choose any cloth that he likes yet he refused. I couldn't understand him, end up by helping of two other orphans finally we know why! because he lost his clay and he wants it back. Now he is happily cloth on . His name is Alibaba.

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has the eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. Saint Augustine
