Today we caught the High Speed Rail (HSR) train from Taipei to Tainan City, the original Capital of Taiwan / Formosa. The approx 315 klm was done and dusted in 1hr 45min. They occasionally show the train speed on a screen at the end of each car - 289 klm/hr was the fastest we saw. A very smooth ride and despite the speed you could easily nod off in your seat. Well, I could.

We haven't seen much of Tainan yet but it is a big city that's for sure. We are yet to organise our next train trip back up the west coast a bit to Taichung - should have done that today while we were at the Railway Station, dammit.

We went out for a walk late today (it was 31 degrees here) - didn't see any Temples or the like so no photo's. You're probably sick of them in any case, gentle viewer.

See you later.
