Hey guys, I'm back! First thing's first, check out my new toy! Its the new 4th generation iPod. Photo here-->APPLE iPod I thoroughly enjoyed myself in Taiwan, less the training phase. During the first 2 weeks of training, it was quite hellish. Cramped bunks, no beds (for me that is), not enough time, no lockers (lost a few things already), and lots of privacy problems. Outfield was worse, our intructors seem to get very angry with whatever we do wrong. There was this time when my friend slept in his basha without holding onto his rifle. In the end he got caught and the whole platoon had to fall in for a scolding session in the forests of Taiwan. Then he made us go back and put on our full battle order, high kneel under our basha, under heavy rain. That was ok at first, but then as night approached, we had no choice but to just sleep in mud. Since we were already made wet by the rain, we just slept on the ground and wallowed in mud the whole night. That was also bearable, until the mosquitos came. Imagine yourself sleeping in muddy water under cold and cramped conditions, and then these pesky insects come buzzing near your ears. And they don't stop, that's the most irritating thing about them. Oh well i shan't say anymore about the training. The highlight of our training was our 4 day R & R. We visited Kaoshiung, Kenting and Taipei. You guys should visit Kenting the next time you book your Taiwan trip. That place looks just like Monte Carlo, and it has a magnificent view of the ocean too. Taipei on the other hand was just like Singapore. Very modern, with bits of traditional stuff here and there (old people la). The girls there are, well, much more pretty than those found in Singapore. Haha, yes that's something worth mentioning. That's it for now, booking out again on friday evening. Photos should be ready for viewing by then. Savant at 8/17/2004 12:43:00 pm ;
