Scully and I wanted to get away the weekend and decided it would be great to stay in a nice hotel somewhere and pamper ourselves a bit. So Scully went online to see what she could find for us.
Here's what she found...
A beautiful hotel, with a jacuzzi and its own private pool! We could not believe it when we walked into the hotel room as it was more like an apartment with an outdoor area too. Sorry the pictures are a bit dark, but they should give you some idea of what it was like!

The morning after, we went to, what I would consider to be one of the most beautiful places I have been to in Taiwan. It is called Xinshe Castle and is host to a multitude of western style structures, such as mini castles and brick-built designs. It also has man-made waterfalls and a small lake with huge koi carp and grass eating monster fish! It was epic. I don't have access to the pictures we took at the moment but check this guy's blog out to see what it was like: http://j-travel.blogspot.tw/2011/05/xinshe-castle-at-taichung-taiwan-part-1.html.
We had such a great time that we are going back to Taichung this weekend to stay with one of Scully's friends and meet another friend who is visiting Taiwan from the UK. It is going to be great!
WORK UPDATE: after much thought and all the change that is happening recently, I have decided to stay in my job at GuangFu. I have come to the epiphany that the challenges I am facing can be partially overcome if I take action. Although the overall camp style cannot be changed, I am able to make adjustments to my lessons and the subject I am teaching (approved by the boss)! I am moving classrooms into the IT suite and will be teaching ICT instead of video production. Which is ideal as that is what my passion is and I am trained in it too!
I feel excited about my job again now and it is such a fantastic, long-awaited feeling! Goodbye Annoying Orange, hello endless possibilities!
