Nice to See VicnB together.....How nice that Vic took Barbie to see his hometown of Yilan....
Every spring, Vic Zhou makes it a point to be able to return to native place Yilan
to visit old father. But this year, he is accompanied by girlfriend Da S on the side.
Vic Zhou acted as Da S tourguide to tour his gf to Ilan and brought her
to the famous scenic spot, also went to the school where he studied,
both in elementary and high school.
At night, 2 people enjoyed a trip to locality "the winter mountains and river"
and had a time sharing!

I really miss my dad, delicious food and hot springs, etc.
I hope I can soon have a vacation to go back.
There are many ways to Ilan, by train or by bus.
I choose to drive a car myself; it makes me feel I'm truly going home.

Every time I go back, I drive myself. Taipei is far away from Ilan,
it takes about two hours of driving time. But I really appreciate the journey,
going home with a vacation mood and returning to Taipei to work hard after recharging.
The two hours of drive is not boring at all. It's a pleasure to listen to the music while driving.
It's one of the most enjoyable things in life.

To drive back and forth to Ilan, I have to drive through many rugged mountain roads.
Frankly driving is very exciting. Especially after the dusk, there are only dim lights and
it makes you feel like exploring some new territory. In the daytime, I can enjoy the ocean
view at the bottom of the mountains. There are the feelings I rarely experience in Taipei.
I'm really looking forward to my next trip of going home to Ilan!
Hot spring is one of Ilan's staples. There are hot spring resorts and hotels everywhere.
Hot springs in the mountains mostly are outdoors.

Whenever I get home, I can smell my dad's specialties, such as pepper mixture.
I can eat three bowls of rice with only this dish. Fried chicken filet and soup of spare ribs
all become main dishes of midnight snacks.
Friends, who have a chance to visit Ilan, don't forget to try various flavors of rice noodle.
.....my school "Luotong Gongzheng elementary and middle school." It was only eight minute walk
from my home. When I was little, I liked to go to school very much, chatting and joking with
classmates. Days passed really quickly. No stress. No work. I really missed those days.
Wishing everyone a special St. Valentine's Day....Know you are loved!
God Bless VicnB and everyone!
Love is a wonderful thing to see, to share and to give away
Thanking everyone for all the wonderful pictures and postings
