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!
Sims Apartments Part II Complex: City house
This was the first house I designed in the complex. It’s not amazingly creative. The first floor has a bedroom and kitchen.
The second floor is the living part of the house. TV, music, and the wood floor reaches around the edge of the house, but not the middle. The narrow edge near the windows is where you play darts.
The third floor is another bedroom. You’ll notice that guests can walk all the way up to the third floor and to the balcony without going into the bedroom, so there is privacy.
The walls are a cityscape. This is a bachelor’s pad. The balcony has star tiles, like the walk of fame!
Taiwan Day 7: Family time means food too
Yes, lots and lots of food. At this point, I was feeling reeeeally heavy and fat. Every day, lunch and dinner, heavy stuff. If a little starving African kid went on the food tour I was on, he might have died by now.
This day my aunt on my dad’s side and her husband came over to our house to sit around and we later went to 8 Orders (Ba Dian). Their menu contains just eight different entree sets. Mmm Japanese food! Miso soup is refillable. The best part is that these entrees are only 200 NT each. That’s roughly a little less than 7 bucks. Cheap!
Then we drove around Dan Shui.
Finally, we met up with my uncle on my dad’s side, and his family. I haven’t met my cousin Danny in a long time. I don’t meet my dad’s side of the family very often, actually. They’re in Taiwan or Australia, not really in California though. I know my mom’s side a whole lot better. We ate at this restaurant in Dan Shui that is the only restaurant my uncle will go to. He has cancer so he trusts this restaurant to be light and delicious. Emphasis on the light.
