　　Morley: But isn’t that the only way to go?

　　Boss: You can go up into the mountains from here and then go down into Taroko Gorge.

　　Morley: That sounds like it involves an awful lot of uphill riding.

　　Boss: It does. You gotta get up to 2,600 meters high.

　　Morley:[Looks at Dan shaking head] I think we’ll take a bus.

　　Boss: That’s what I always do.
