Day 9: Chiayi County

Although we are all extremely tired, this was one of our best days as far. Best because of the care of our host Johnny - a son of the president of our hosting club for today. Johnny is 24 and he is taking care of international students and visitors in Taipei. So, we started our trip in good hands with a Chiayi Sun-shooting Tower tour, where we had a chilling coffee time, sightseeing and girls reading fashion magazines.
We continued with a visit at HACK Biotechnology Research Co., Ltd, where we were introduced with one of the highest quality cosmetic ingridents production. Hack sells ingredients for companies as Lancome etc., and we got to see the backstage of this process. 
The next stop was a Tea production house of a company called Number 2 (a cool name for world's probably number one). One of the most impressive visit as far - the small simple house turned to be one of world's number one quality tea production companies. It's owner dressed very simply but having a golden Rolex on his hand silently presented us different tea's in a way they serve them at the world's competitions. Some of tea they sell for 250 Euros for 600 g, but it is sold 10 times more expensive in Canada for example. This was a never forgetting tea taste experience even for our  team's passionate coffee lovers.
Later we visited Beigang city again, but this time it was full of people gathering for celebrating  the  birthday of Mayou - a local sea Goddess. The day was free of traditional food until the official evening dinner (thank you Johnny!), we enjoyed veggie restaurant and sweet degustation.
After the dinner that was refrreshed by our friend's Tank's never ending jokes, Johnny lead us to the night market where boys enjoyed different games, and Anna got a soft toy as a present from Taiwanese guy.
Tomorrow we are heading to mountain area. We do not know if we will have Internet access there.
