We went with some friends around the north shore of the island on February 24. The stone weathers into beautiful shapes there and the many mountains reaching into the sea with their clear waterfalls are breathtaking to see. We ate at a small harbor named LongTong, which means the dragon's cave. We had a type of oyster called the buffalo’s horn oyster, which even our hosts had never seen. It seems that they will eat anything here! It was a beautiful day and we saw many blowfish in the harbor, which was neat because we had never seen them in the wild. (Oh yeah, the Taiwanese won’t eat the blowfish and think the Japanese are crazy to try because of the possibility of poisoning.) Also you may note the giant light bulbs on the fishing boat in the harbor. It is because they fish at night and the light attracts the fish.
