We got a ride from the hotel to the port of Taitung. There, pushy group guides tried to cut in line until Min Lin got real miffed and started shouting. For some strange reason, Taiwaneses here think I'm Japanese and that it gives them the right to walk all over me until Min Lin gives them crap in the Taiwanese dialect.
The 50 minutes boat trip was uneventful apart from the exocets flying away from the boat, a glimpse at a dolphin (according to Min Lin) and the sight of a few passengers getting sick.
We got a ride from the B&B owner in the back of his two seats Pronto truck. I don't think he made any allowance for trying safer either! Strangely, reckless and fun motor vehicle behavior is not matched with any flexibility in water sports; every tourism must be part of a group.
Arriving at the Shiacarl B&B 夏卡爾民宿, the room we got is quite nice; wooden floors in a 3 stories building with a strict rule not to walk in the room with shoes on; a good Japanese tradition. Our room has a view on the ocean and the jungle near the south-east tip of the island.
