To the roof and back

I apologize. This mini post was supposed to go up a week ago. I'm just lazy.

I've been in Taiwan for more than a week now, but have yet to write about any observations and experiences. I haven't really had time to synthesize any of my observations and so, I will share an experience.

The was at a hotel on the eastern coast of Taiwan 台东 (Taidong). I was given a single room with a balcony. After a good night's rest (the previous nights rest was continually interrupted because i shared a room with the tour guide who i came to find out rarely sleeps) I found myself bored with 30 minutes to spare before departure. So what was I to do? See what was on the other side of the balcony of course. Scaling the wall (they made it easy for me with the plant thingy on the right) I came to find a staircase. This was the emergency staircase that you ordinarily could not access without setting off the fire alarm and launching the hotel into a state of panic and chaos. It almost led to the roof and had a decent view of the landscape at the top. There's no point to this story, I just wonder if other people have scaled the balcony wall for a more scenic view of Taidong.??
