Kenting is at the southern tip of Taiwan and is a beach resort destination as well as a national park. Hyun Ae, Takako and I took the bus from Kaohsiung, departing in the afternoon and planning to stay one night. We knew the cool Japanese guy from their class was there, traveling on his own, and we would meet him there.
Nothing well-planned, if we were going to Kenting for Kenting, we would have left first thing in the morning. We would have done research on things to do and where to go. We were going just because it was there a couple hours south from Kaohsiung and we could say that we went. But really it seems that we were just going to hang out and wander and take a ridiculous amount of digital photos of each other.
I didn't take a single frame of black & white. Here is the single (silly) shot I took that identifies our location geographically with Hyun Ae shooting the Dajianshan rock formation:

| 4:40 p.m. |
The rest of the photos are just us taking pictures of each other, leaving the next day none the wiser about what Kenting has to offer.
 |
| 11:20 a.m. - Casually hanging out at my uncle's building. No rush despite plans to go to Kenting. |
 |
| 1:51 p.m. - Series, finally on the bus. Back of the bus like bunch of delinquents. |
 |
| 4:58 p.m. - And the first place we go to is Starbucks. Granted to figure things out and get in touch with the cool Japanese guy. And get out of the heat. |
 |
| 5:00 p.m. - Hyun Ae series, no I'm not obsessed with this woman. Why do you ask? |
 |
| Bored. |
 |
| Bored but knowing I'm taking pictures. |
 |
| Deciding to pose a little. |
 |
| 6:23-6:41 p.m. - Little Bay Beach series. Any scenery is pretty much incidental. |
 |
| They look good together. Too bad they weren't each other's types. |
 |
| 7:59 p.m. - Smokey Joe's, I'm sure it was my idea to eat there. Hyun Ae showing a pic to the cool Japanese guy while posing for my pic. |
 |
| 8:38 p.m. - Smokey Joe's series, many years later people would be staring at their phones, we had our digicams. |
 |
| 10:11 p.m. - At our lodging? Note they're in the same positions as they were at dinner. |
