Top Right / Bottom Middle: A visit to Yong Kong yielded the best Beef Noodle Soup experienced thus far in Taipei along with a nice “Dan-Dan” noodle dish.
Top Left / Bottom Right: At “Tasty Restaurant” we sampled an ice cream w/ melted chocolate in a fried wrapper and enjoyed some good roasted duck.
Bottom Left: A local place (called “Meet Fresh”) recommended by some good friends in Taipei (Pete, Esther, Jesse) has this signature dish (Zhao Pai) with red bean, mochi, grass jelly, and shaved ice. Yum!
We were fortunate to celebrate two birthdays this past week – my (Warren’s) auntie’s 60th birthday and my good friend Mitch’s 30th!
Bottom Middle / Bottom Right: My aunt surrounded by her many cards and a special chocolate cake. My grandmother who was in especially energetic and humorous spirits that evening
Top Left: Lunch with Mitch! He got to wear this hat and take this “stuffed heart” home as a special gift from the restaurant. Haha.
Top Right / Bottom Left: Karaokeing at “Party World” with some friends. Karaoke in the US is a weird activity that Asians do. In Taiwan, it’s a way of life.
Taipei is still a city full of activities and surprises...
Top Right: This odd shirt reads – YOU (be a lucky) ARE (to have met) SWEET.
Bottom Left / Bottom Middle: My cousin took us to get foot massages where you first soak with these 12 spices before being pampered and massaged in chairs with personal TVs!
Bottom Right: This is the trendy “winter wear” for women in Taipei. Tights and a short skirt or short shorts. They are everywhere!
Next week we are off to Thailand and Southeast Asia. Our time in Taiwan seemed to fly by!
