kenting...spring scream
So spring scream was last weekend. It is one Taiwan’s biggest outdoor rock festivals that went from April 5-7. Luckily we had a 4 day weekend to go down to Kenting (south beach town of Taiwan). The ride down was HORRIBLE. We drove my car’s car but the traffic was so bad it took us 17 hours to get there!!! I could have gone to Canada in that time. It only should have taken us like 8 or so but no.
The festival itself was fun. There was two locations and we stayed at the location in the mountains where our cabins were. Which were soooo awesome so close to all the “action.” There was tons of bands but the thing was that the location was so big and the stages were so far apart that it didn’t seem like there was a lot of people there. There were tons of foreigners and Japanese rock bands, hahaha. So we listened to some really strange stuff but also some more popular bands and djs...
During the day we headed down to the beach (going through the immense traffic jams) it seemed like all of Taiwan’s young people were there, hahaha. Plus a whole bunch of crazies as well. One of the dudes in our group was off the wall! I don’t think he ever slept and must have been on something. Great source of entertainment but as the same time sooo annoying!!!!!!!
But yea, the drive back was great and it only took us like 9 hours. We split driving time and almost run out of gas. Our friend Emily was freaking out and it was the funnies thing in the world, HAHAHA. Well Brenda will be here tomorrow so I’m jumping off the walls with excitement and can’t concentrate at work…..let u guys know how it goes ;) LATER

Haha...kenting.
Sounds like what you do when you go look at "kents"
"Bye...I'm off to go kenting."
Hmmm...that's enough of my self-indulgence.
A festival with Japanese bands... sounds so interesting!
It really seems your life in Taipei is still great. I have been having a look at your pics -not all though, unfortunately I have been offline for quite long and there are loads!
Anyway keep with the posting, I really enjoy your blog :)
And have fun with Brenda!
