The weather was warm, the weekend arrived, I was in town - it was time to check out some sights. Jeff and I caught the MRT down to Sizihwan and then hopped on a ferry over to Cijin Island. The ferry takes a whole 5 minutes or so to reach the island and costs a whole $30NT ($1 AUS) for a return trip. Not a bad deal at all.

Temples and scooters - common sights

We had hoped to go for a swim and cool off as the humidity was stupidly high, but the beach didn't look clean and the sand was black - not that appealing.
Instead, we settled for a fresh seafood lunch and walk through the markets.
While I shopped unsuccessfully for hats, Jeff enertained a Taiwanese high school student wanting to practice his English. A favourite line "Do you enjoy sports?" - text book English.
Back to the mainland we walked up to the British Consulate and escaped from the tropical rain.

| Up the stairs... |
 |
...past the stray cats...

and up to the consulate for some beautiful views.
