綠島

Lest anyone accuse Reed of all work and no play (was that ever a concern to anyone?) I'm taking a bus bound for southern Taiwan in about 3 hours. The final destination is Green Island, which I just discovered is primarily known for its prisons and penal colonies and although that would be pretty cool if they were Alcatraz-like museums, they are still actively restraining Taiwan's most vicious criminals, which makes it kind of like a trip to SLO. Green Island was originally sold to me as a utopian resort island populated only by excellent cooks and salt water hot springs by some shifty Europeans, but I figure it will still turn out alright, despite the 9 hour bus ride to get there.

Turns out "Green Island" is actually where they send all American's that write blogs that mock Taiwanese culture. Trick!
