Thanks, I fall into the travelogue genre every now and then ... I hope you had your umbrella when reading. I've been here now 36 hours and not a moment has the rain let up!
The difference a hotel makes. But the description of your experience in the shitty hotel was much more interesting to read than that of the good hotel! When you travel, the bad experiences always make the best stories later. I knew a Korean teacher who used to go to Taiwan to surf - maybe you could try that while you’re there 😎
On a train bound for Hualien for 4 days. See the canyon. Hang out. Dry out. Not far down the coast are the surf spots. Who knows.
Taiwan is pretty travel friendly but there are a lot of bottom end dive hotels. Buyer beware I guess ... Coffin sandwich hunting in Hualien tomorrow at the night market.
Our old friend Ira used to seek out the cheapest hotels in Nicaragua on his bus tours. $7-$8 a night. Bathroom down the hall on a different floor. A bucket in your room for your convenience. Aircon? hahaha.
He will always go down as one of my most interesting friends.
Yes, he told me some stories about his local overnight trips, especially to the east of Nicaragua. Some of us like to suffer and even bond with that suffering. I got the feeling that though he complained, he actually connected with the experience. ... RIP.

I enjoyed travelling with you today, David. Such vivid impressions makes me feel like I was there too.
