If you are interested in a little fun in the sun this Sunday, come join us for Ultimate Frisbee.

We play every Sunday at Xiong Gong High School on Jian Gong Road, across from Body Shop. (Just north of the Da Shuen, Jian Gong intersection)

It's like soccer, but with a frisbee instead of a ball. All skill levels are welcome.... We start at
about 2:00 and go til 5:30ish. Bring your running shoes (or cleats) and some water.

call 09-1815-4440 for more info

Sorry, no visas issued here

There's nothing spectacular about this former British consulate building. Other than it served as a diplomatic post, prison and as a strategic lookout point (it's on a mountainside at the mouth of the Kaohsiung harbor), what's so special about an old brick edifice? Sure, it was the first western infrastructure built in Taiwan but nothing much else history-wise. You won't miss much skipping this place, you'll even be spared an exhausting stair climb to reach it from the street. Good thing admission is free.

Taiwan's second largest city

by stamporama

There's not much to see in Kaoshiung, after all it's more of a commercial and harbor district. Yet it still exudes the vibrancy of a world-class city and though whatever attractions there are may neither be medieval or historic, they still inspire for whatever the local people hold dear.

The Dream Mall houses several stores of both local and foreign brands. The building is shaped like a blue whale from afar and has a ferris wheel at the roof. Like Filipinos, local residents flock to the mall not merely to shop but to frolic and escape from the city heat.

Since most Taiwanese are Buddhists, temples are practically everywhere. But if you wish to see something grander than the ordinary, then head out of town to the Fo Guang Shan monastery where your jaw would surely drop in awe at what they have there.
