Part 1: Taroko
To kick off the winter break, the entire Taiwan Fulbright crew made our way to Taroko Gorge in Hualien, Taiwan. Hualien's an hour south of Yilan by train and had been previously visited by most of the Yilan ETAs (myself not included for obvious reasons, namely pure laziness) when they ran the Taroko Gorge Half-Marathon earlier this year.
Taroko Gorge is nicknamed the "Grand Canyon of Taiwan" and is one of the must-see places on the island. To top off the natural beauty, we were there on official Fulbright business -- meaning that we got the 5-star treatment all weekend long.
