Ever since arriving in Taiwan two months ago, I've been wanting to do two things: 1) get out in nature and 2) hit up the beach. I managed to do BOTH things today...WIN! Despite getting a late start this morning (sleeping in seems to be my new MO in this country), we still managed to get to the beach by 2 pm. I'm pretty psyched because it's so easy to get there from my apartment! Just hop on the MRT (the stop is literally 2 minutes from my apartment) and go north about 7 stops and then you're in Danshui! Danshui is a little boardwalk town that is right on the water. Then we took a taxi for about 20 minutes to the beach. After getting some rays for about three hours (perfect amount of sun since I haven't seen light in like 2 months), we went back into town and got some DELICIOUS food. Like seriously epic dumplings and squid. I want to eat the squid every single day even if it meant that I turned into a squid. See pics below for some visuals!

| I was surprised to see so many Asians swimming...but then I realized that they all had floatation devices and were wearing full coverage to avoid the sun. |
 |
| Very sticky sand! |
 |
| Cabanas to block the sun. God forbid you get tan! |

| I want to eat this all over again! They put this delicious sauce on it and then chop it up into little pieces! |
 |
