Zach, Renee and myself went for our mini-adventure on Sunday. First was an equally mini-adventure trying to get oil for my scooter. I went to one mechanic, which was closed, but recommended by a fellow English teacher.
The second I went to, the folks didn't seem able to understand what I wanted. They kept trying to say it was the fuel that needed refilled. But we managed to get there in the end, after me getting a lecture in Chinese about how I shouldn't let it get that bad again. haha. It's amazing what you can understand from hand gestures and tone :)
Then we set off. We did one circuit around Caotun and Nantou...mainly becuase I wasn't sure where we were going. Second time lucky, drive through Caotun and then head on the road to Gaosing. Finally we saw a sign to Puli in Caotun.
The drive there was stunning! Cruising through the mountains was trully spectacular. I wish I wasn't driving. Next time, i'll stop along the way to take lots of pictures :)

We didn't manage to look around the whole monastery, it was so big! So we will be venturing back there again some time.
