If there is one moment in my life that I wish I could record down, it has to be the moment when KampungBoy held my hand and in a trembling voice, asked if I could be his girlfriend. His palms were warm and sweaty, and they still are! My heart started beating faster and in a sheepish little voice I said, “Yes!”
It happened 6 years ago. Our love story sounds like a typical movie plot – boy and girl fell in love at first sight, they went out on a few dates but both were too cautious to make the first move. One day the boy took the courage, popped the question, girl said yes and they live happily ever after. Just like any other couples, we always have our troubles and woes. If that lovely moment is recorded, I can just replay it over and over again, reminiscing the sweet moment and all my sorrows will be washed away immediately!
Well life doesn’t have a rewind, replay and record button but Astro B.yond HD PVR has! There will be four bloggers in an enclosure by Astro in conjunction with their PVR road show on the 5th of June 2010 from 10am onwards.

bring me to the railroad track – lyrics, captain jack
I’ve decided to continue blogging about Taiwan somehow. We’ll be writing about places off the beaten track such as Neiwan, Yingge & Sansia. It’s nice to visit the less-travelled parts of Taiwan sometimes. We’ll start with a Neiwan, a quaint little Hakka village.
As a Hakka, CityGal is pretty excited to visit Neiwan, a Hakka community in Hsinchu County encircled by hills and run through Youlo Stream. Getting to NeiWan is somewhat a gruelling experience. We took train to Hsinchu, transferred to a bus heading to ZhuDong station before riding a train along the beautiful neiwan branch line to the lovely town.
The Neiwan Branch line is among the three infamous train branches in Taiwan other than the Jiji line and Pingxi line which we took. It is also the reason why I insisted in taking the long way even though part of the Neiwan Branch Line has suspended operation from February 28, 2007 for three and a half years. We still enjoy our journey from Zhudong to Neiwan nonetheless.
Logistic Information
1. Take the High Speed Rail to Hsinchu Station → Continue by bus or taxi
2. Take the Taiwan Railway to Hsinchu Station → Take the Hsinchu Bus (Neiwan Line) to Zhudong station and take the train to Neiwan station.
Note: High Speed Rail service between Hsinchu and Zhudong is temporarily suspended due to construction. For connections between Hsinchu and Zhudong please take the Hsinchu Bus. The Zhudong-Neiwan section of the High Speed Rail is operating normally.
We spotted a hearing impaired man selling bread at the Hsinchu station.
He hugged me as a gesture of thanks. It’s really heart warming.
