Yilan

A couple of the girls from ISIS had planned a day trip to Yilan for surfing and barbecue, so I got up at about 7:20 in order to join in on the fun.  Waking up that early certainly wasn't fun though.  I met up with Mami and Eva and we Ubiked to the meeting point for the bus that would take us to Yilan.  The bus took us to a train station, and after a short ride, we finally arrived at the beach.  We walked over to the surf shop that was renting us the boards, and they shuttled us over to where we would be surfing.  After a short lesson, we all got in the water and failed miserably.  It was hard work, especially fighting the current which kept wanting to pull us toward sharp rocks, but I eventually was able to stand up on the board and ride a wave once.  So I'm basically a pro.  Once we were all properly exhausted, we gathered around the barbecuers like hungry dogs waiting for food.  We left the beach around 5:00, passed out on the bus that we had waited forever for, and got back around 9:30. We finally Ubiked back to Gongguan and called it a night, being as beat as we were.
