Experience surfing in Taiwan, a country with year-round swell, scenic routes, beautiful beaches and old temples. Let a very experienced, bilingual guides take you to the best spots in any given conditions and get to know the ancient culture of this modern, thriving island. Surf time is at your discretion - whichever times and as many times as you'd like per day. They know all the spots: What works where on which tide, wind, swell size and direction. Taiwan offers breaks for all levels of surfers -- beginners to pros; beachbreaks, rivermouths, points & the odd rock/reef setup. Taiwan hosts 'everyman' waves -- something for everyone - except for those who enjoy 12-15ft slabs. http://www.theperfectwave.com.au/home/surf/209-taiwan-surf-tours.html

BEST VIEWED ON WIDESCREEN MODE WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU SAW THIS ?.....SIT THERE OR ? Apparently an Afro-American tourist visiting Korea has upset the entire nation, after this released video spread rapidly over the internet in that region, showing a black American tourist verbally insulting and hitting a Chinese couple: After the internet video leaked, people on Korean web forums were calling for racial segregation laws and immigration reforms to be enacted.

I went to Taipei in April 2009 for a legend -wait for it- DARYYYY 8 day holiday, just a few months shy of enlistment into the military. I decided to document the entire trip together with my friend Nicholas. Along the journey in Taipei we met many wonderful people and had a really epic experience, still vivid to this very day. This web series is the beginning of many dope travelogues to come. SUBSCRIBE, LIKE & COMMENT THIS VIDEO! Facebook: http://facebook.com/toshrock Twitter: http://twitter.com/toshrock
