10/05/2014 - Today I went to Dadengdao with Samora and Eunbin, our new Korean friend. It's quite far from the campus, like everything here, we had to take two busses, but it's always closer than the center. Anyway, we took the 790 bus, than we changed for the 760 till the last stop. It was a really nie trip, where you can see the countryside around, that strange part of countryside with trees (yes, in Xiang'An there are no trees). And then, you reach this island (you cannot even see that it's an island). We went just to the Taiwanese Market, but I would like to come back to see the historic places as well. This island is famous because it was the last border before Taiwan, so it was the place where China had its army. In this place everything seems to be clean and perfect, there was even the sun shining! Taiwan, to us, is a kind of "Promised Land", because it's China, but not that much actually. Students who have been there talk about it all the time. So close, but at the meantime so far!
