Chinese New Year Day 1

The Year of the Rabbit came in with a bang. Which means there were more fireworks than usual. I was fortunate enough to spend my week in the beautiful town of Taidong. Where the sun was always shining and the weather was just right. Before New Years Eve my temporary host mom had me and my three temporary host siblings clean the house. After scrubbing some of the windows and supper I was taken to the hotel across the street for an Indigenous dance show. Ironically it was the hotel I stayed in while I was biking around the Island. After watching the energy filled dance, the natives offered to teach those willing to learn. My host mom volunteered me  without hearing my words of protest, although I must say I did underestimate my ability to learn native dances. After the dance they brought forth cups of little-rice-wine which was actually a lot better than rice-wine.
