Mountain Ali- Day 1



The spring vocation is coming! My friend, Cindy, and I have waited for the vacation for a long time because we all want to go travel and relax in the vacation. After discussing with each other, we choose Mountain Ali to visit.

On Thursday morning, we took train to Chia yi at 7:30. As soon as we arrived there, we went to buy the train tickets to arrive Mountain Ali but they were sold out. Therefore, we had to take the bus to Mountain Ali. Unfortunately, the bus tickets were also sold out. In the end, we had to "STAND" on the bus!!! At first, we thought it was OK, moreover, there was a seat which noboby sat on so we sat in turns. However, after two hours, I started to feel dizzy so Cindy let me sit and then she stood.
Unexpectedly, Cindy also felt uncomfortable and even vomitted.

After three hours, we reached Mountain Ali. When we got off the bus, I felt much better but Cindy was still uncomfortable. Besides, she was very hungry. After eating some noodles, she got energy again and we went to the hotal to put our luggage. Then, we walked in the Mountain Ali. The weather was very cold and foggy, so we could not see the road clearly. However, we found the Mountain Ali train station very soon and bought some postcards. After leaving the train station, we went to the post office immediately and sent the postcards. The post office was very specil because it looked like a temple. Also, ther were many people who wrote the postcard there. It seemed that everyone wanted to share his happiness with his friends.

We all expected to see beautiful cherry blossoms, but what we saw were withered flowers. Because of rain, the cherry blossoms dried up sooner than before. Maybe we should go here earlier......
