Oo Ah How Bizarre!

It is a truth universally acknowleged that a single weekday in possession of a day off, must be in want of some rocks. Isn't that the way the saying goes? Anyway. A few weeks back now it was Tomb Sweeping day. A national holiday where you are meant to go and clean to tombs of your now passed family. For us Hess teachers, it means a day off work. So when a newly aquired friend said why didn't we go up north and see some rocks, I scratched my head and attempted to look intrigued. Ok why not, I said and so on a Wednesday morning we headed off to Taipei to meet up.





Now, you may be wondering what is so special about some rocks, as indeed was I. It turned out that a small fishing village called Yelio's claim to fame is a rock that when looked at from a particular angle turns out to look a great deal like the head of an Egyptian Queens head. It also boasts a number of other 'interesting' formations in a number of interesting shapes. For example: a hippo, a fairy's slipper, tofu, the queens head and many more.



One of the areas most entertaining features is its warning signs and attempts to maintain 'order'. As you walk in there is a sign that can be seen in many places around the world, but this one have the added delight of being translated into Engrish. There is also a huge thick red line actually painted along the rocks well in front of the not so crashing waves with a sign saying 'do not cross.' Anyway, it turned out to be a good day out for all, and now I can say that I have seen some of Taiwans ' treasures'. I will now leave you with some photos of the wonderful sights that can be seen in Yelio - the north coast of Taiwan, and some of us being very taiweegie...
