Taipei...

A long time since I updated my blog… where shall I start?

Well well… left Japan for a week to have some fun in Taipei. Went with my friend Owen, and met up with lots of friends there. Let’s see…

First few days, all thanks to So san who drove us everywhere, we managed to go to Yang Ming Hill, Jiu Fen, and well many places which I can’t even name off hand. It’s hard to describe everything in detail but we had lots of good food! Chou Dou Fu (smelly beancurd) being one of the most delicious thing we ate there! Wow! It was super good! And really, as I look back on our Taipei photos, it is a lot on food and food… and food…

The Silin night market I must say is one of my favourites. Owen and I went there one night on our own and we just walked around for 3 hours plus! It was really just browing around and queuing up for the food we like. I guess it’s like that when you go on a holiday. Nothing much but lots of time on your hand. We had so much fun there that we went back again on the last day to shop around for another 6 hours? Well he sure bought a lot of things.. Including a suit!

Ok other things we did including going Karaoke! How can we forget there! Esp when I have to bear with the lousy mtvs in Japan. Also had the authentic Ma-La steamboat. It was great because it was the night everyone came! Including Higashi san who went home earlier in March, Yimin and Grace who finished in March… And yes, it is damn hot. But well, the funny thing was nothing happened to us, but So-san the Taiwanese actually had diarrhea 3 times the next morning.

Hard to summarise everything I did in Taipei but it’s all in my mind =) All the good times, the times of meeting up with various ones, going from store to store for food and even just strolling around Taipei city. Can’t say enough of it…
some photos will be good?


The is basically something like bubble tea but well it is green bean soup and it has an interesting name! Frog's eggs... Owen really thought it was frog's eggs though...

Jiufen. It's a really beautiful place. Thank God the weather was good that morning and allowed us to see sights which was pretty far away... Anyway we got to know this Japanese lady there and if possible will go and visit her sometime...

Ok that's us in the ancient costumes. Owen told me sit down and act like his wife but of course, it didn't turn out the way he wanted.. It seems more like I am the official and he looked like a"gong-nu" (maid)

He as the chinese priest subduing a vampire. That's another group we met. This poor guy is another story. He went with 2 other girls who made he dress up in all the girls' costumes to take photos..
