Since my arrival in Tainan, the campus of the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology has been full of surprises for me.

Everything has an end, except π. Unluckily our trip to Hualien was no Greek letter. However, it was a #1 experience in Taiwan. We fought with nature, we laughed, we hiked, we got closer and eventually we drove home. On the last day of our journey we also had a stuffed plan, resulting in a 15-hour travel.

The reason is, that I’ve already spent 2.0 months in Taiwan. Not 1.99; not 2.01; on the day, exactly 2.0 months.
