Taiwan Day 10: In The Mountains!
I have a hard time remember names of places I go to, but this was a trip to a mountainy area. There are lots of mountains in Taiwan and places that have names. We went to the King Car factory first. They’re the ones that make Mr. Brown coffee! And Green Time gum. No pictures there…I’m not sure why I didn’t take a lot of pictures this day @_@. We went with a bunch of people from the same building I live in. At night, we went to see fireflies because they are only around for a few days in the beginning of May. In the picture they are the little blue swirls at the bottom.
Taiwan Day 9: Shilin Night Market
Night Market! So many yummy foods and so many vendors. The place where you can eat, walk, shop, walk, eat, walk, shop, eat, walk and shop some more in that order! My favorites are oyster omelette, pig’s blood rice cake, and grilled corn (grilled with sauce on it sooo good). My mom really like the cuttlefish soups though.
Taiwan Day 8: Teppan
Met up with my aunt for some teppan action. At this point, as you can tell, I was getting pretty guilty with food. Later this day I bought some new Nike running shoes that are compatible with the Nike+ thingy. I’ve only uploaded two runs so far but I plan on using it more often.
The lobster was moving its legs while being cooked but I’m pretty sure it’s just muscle/joint reflex stuff going on there. Pumpkin soup is sooo yummy.
The first picture is of street food! Rice noodle bowl. Also, they have Costco in Taiwan. The last picture is of this huge flat bread packaged like money. Yum!
