So you haven’t heard from me for a while. It is one year since I joined Formosa 900 to cycle around Taiwan. Now, the next Formosa 900 takes place and again cyclists are touring the island. This time, I am not one of them. I am at home, designing sofa cushions – but more about…

Tag 3 – Formosa900 2015
(Please scroll down for English summary) Heute sind wir die längste Teilstrecke der Tour gefahren: Ca. 120km von Ruisui nach Zhiben in Taitung. Wahrscheinlich war das auch der landschaftlich schönste Streckenabschnitt, außer vielleicht der Abschnitt von morgen? Da kommen wir dann endlich ans Meer. Hier erstmal das versprochene Video von Tag 1+2 Formosa900: Heute…
Tag 2 – Formosa900 2015
(Please scroll down for English summary) Heute sind wir von Jiaoxi nach Ruisui gefahren. Einen Teil der Strecke (bis Hualien) mussten wir allerdings mit dem Zug zurücklegen, da die Straße wohl für den Radverkehr gesperrt ist bzw. sehr gefährlich.

Status Quo
Today I received the official invitation e-mail for the homestay program. I have to fill out a short form, stating that I really want to participate, and send them a scanned version of my passport. Now that I know for sure that I will be travelling to Taiwan, lot’s of thoughts run through my head….
