Walking around and getting acquainted with the country, I mostly relied on the rail system that is laid out across the island.

走馬看花地熟悉這個國家，我主要依靠遍佈全島的鐵路系統。

It's surprisingly affordable, streamlined, punctual, and has a variety of basic, express and high-speed trains available.

我被推薦嘗試的另一項活動是溯溪，這需要穿上乾式潛水衣，逆流穿越河流，基本上是到達終點後休息，然後跳入水中，最終順著激流漂流而下。
