Going to Bali
I have had a really relaxed week in Taiwan. Mostly just hung out in the hostel since it has been cold here.. I did make it out to Toroko Gorge for a couple days. First day did an insane hike with two young guys from Minnesota. We gained 2500ft in 1 and 1/2 hours! Ended up being about 11 or 12 miles in a bit over 4 hours. At 6pm, I lay down on my bed to rest my tired feet for a few minutes and woke up at 4:30am.. so put my hiking boots back on and did a 1 mile hike to some hotsprings... amazing sunrise!
I'm now at the Taipe airport typing on my PDA over an open wireless network and have just gotten the go ahead to get on the plane to Thailand... I'll spend a night in the airport hotel then continue to Bali in the AM so I'll send my next update from Indonesia!
Peace,

Hey Bindu...I was surfing the net looking for info on Kenting(planning a getaway from the city) and noticed your name...I thought, ummm, I met a Bindu once in India....checked it out and low and behold, it was you!! Me and my fiancee(Marc) met you at a swank hotel in Kochi and you gave us some computer advice. Do you remember us? Well, it just so happens we are living in Taiwan again, have been since September. If we had known you were in town, you could have avoided the dingy Taipei hostel and stayed with us! Too bad we missed you and too bad you aren't sticking around...if you ever return to this island, you will have to drop us a line! Happy travels, good to hear of your adventures! take care....Tanya
