I had not been riding my bike since landed in my fren house on the 13 oct . So I told John whether he can find time to ride with me. Because he has to work in the morning,so he suggested to do a loop of the Datung hill nearby after he come back from work around 3 or 4 pm. Frankly,I was a bit scarry to ride on my own,as I noticed taiwan driving system is opposite than that of malaysia. That means I had to ride on my right and also there are lots n lots of motor scooters zigzating very fast.As John told me,to avoid being knock,you had to ride straight and they will zoom pass you on both sides. Furthermore,there are many junctions with many small lanes,one can easily get lost.
The ride to Datung to and flo lasted 2 hours of 15 km . At the top , there is a wooden platform,and you can enjoy a bird eyeview of the Taipei basin including the tallest 101Building on a good weather. Before we decent,we had a taiwan sausages and coffee in the cafe, but very expensive.
It was a very good ride and refreshing after a warm shower. Tomorrow will start riding on my own to visit a friend in Hsinchu.
