How I do my blog

Technical stuff

Within the first six weeks I didn’t changed much. I used the Blogger editor on the Internet and wasn’t really thinking about what to write. I just let go.
For my Photos I used my iPad mini. But I bought a new mobile phone here with a better camera, so I am using that now. Only for panorama pictures I use the iPad, because iOS offers the best option for that.
I make a choice of the best photos and upload them to Google drive. From there I download the photos on my laptop to insert the pictures more easily.
I never got into HTML deeply so I am not really able to use a really good template on my blog. But I changed to use an Editor on my laptop to insert tables and get the photos in a better way to display on the blog.
The editor I use is Windows Live Writer. Maybe not the best tool, but it is okay for my needs.
Now to the interesting part:

How I choose my topic

Choosing a topic to write about got more complicated for me within the last four weeks. In the beginning it was very easy and the ideas came. But at some point I didn’t want to write that much. I wanted to focus more on the things I do in Taiwan, than always have in mind what to write about next Saturday. I also worried a lot about time. Thoughts like: “I have to write” crossed my mind daily. Until  I decided to write more whenever I feel so. This is my blog and this blog should be something nice and passionate. Writing something came to another level and now it is easier for me.
Finding a topic is still not very easy. Sometimes there is a special experience I want to share with you. But sometimes I don’t have a specific idea what to write about. I don’t want to write just something. I want to provide a good perspective on the things I do and the feelings I have.
Concluding, behind this blog are a lot of thoughts and personal ideas.

Let me know what do you want to know. A special blog entry about my work or travelling, friends, spare time, nature, city, nightlife, night markets… There is a lot to write about.

Facets

Hello Everybody! A lot of things happened within the last two weeks. Now I found some time to share a few things with you: Music I found a great place to practice drums. The music store where I bought my guitar offers a room with a drum set for 50 NTD per hour. That is about 1,25 EUR. Incredibly cheap! I try to go there two times a week to keep my level and have some fun! I am really happy I found this! Taipei at it's best Another thing I just discovered is Taipei. Yes I have been here now for almost three months and just now I discover Taipei's facets. This city is so amazing. You can reach almost everything you want within one hour. If you want something historical, visit Dadaocheng, the part of the city where Taipei started growing. From there the aboriginal tribes sold their goods to China. This part has a lot of this feeling. I don't know how to describe this right. You feel like traveled back in time. Many old buildings, no tourism, a lot of old people sell...

Fighting panic and taking risks

Taipei night view secrets Visiting Elephant mountain at night is not that special. You get a really sunning view on Taipei at night. And a lot of tourism. In fact it is special but not really nice to go there. To avoid tourism I planned a thrilling small hike using the unlighted paths and experience the vibrant jungle at night. Yes, that’s quite frightening but at some point I got curious. While taking pictures of Taipei at the top of Elephant mountain I saw a sign to Muzhi Mountain. Half an hour, 1.5 kilometers, dark unlit path until another peak. Go for it. Heading upwards to the platform my feelings were thrilling. The darkness got more as closer I got to Mountain Muzhi. The path got smaller and the jungle got louder. I want to give you an impression of my journey: It is dark. You are alone. Separated from others. Nothing to hear, except the whirring insects. Wind blows slightly through the huge bamboo. Somewhere a creaking noise. Suddenly a loud rustling right next to me....
