hey.. right.. heres the update..As you all who know, know that i was in Beautiful Taiwan (ROC) from 17th to 24th.. and haha i'm back and lotsa updates i suppose..
well okay.. nite 1.. i reached TaoYuan Airport. we got to know our tour guide for the week and coach driver.. we headed to the North of Taiwan, Keelung.. okay quite cold there.. 8 degrees or so.. but because it was raining and windy.. night market for the 1st nite.. i ate O-ya-jian.. fried oyster =).. its very different from Singapore.. its not dry like singapore its much more wet.. then went back to hotel.. Evergreen Hotel..
the next day well.. uhm.. we left Keelung and travelled south wards on the West.. while on the trip we went to Yeh Liu Geological Park where we took pictures of the Orange based rocks.. rocks that were shaped due to the sea and typhoons and etc etc.. so its all natural Art and Designing..
yes i know i look good as usual. ha..
so after that we went to JiuFen ( 9 portions ) to eat Fishball and Yamballs hahaha.. so funny.. i bought myself a traditional costume (shirt) for performing purposes don't even know if i'll ever use it.. but ok it costs me a lot also.. 1500NT..
then we went to eat dim sum.. said to be related to ding tai fung.. and they're business is so good.. u must take the amount of dim sum they tell you to take from the steam bowl.. and must be fast.. or they'll just clear it... but it's very nice =)
so we continued our journey south.. then the tour guide was talking about bing lang.. its a fruit wrapped with it's leaf wif something inside the leaf but it's bad for health.. it gives throat cancer or something.. or was it mouth.. but it keeps you awake.. Mostly drivers eat that.. and because this plant/tree is found almost EVERYWHERE of Taiwan.. everyone is selling it.. so there is a street dedicated to selling this and well they had methods to outbeat each other.. 1st idea was to get a sexy lady to sell.. so every driver goes to that stall.. the others learn that method and uses it too.. another one gets the lady to wear lesser.. so all the drivers will go to that one.. then another one has a naked lady to sell it!.. O_O.. omg.. so all the drivers go there.. the police got hard time.. because ya.. its happy happy for the drivers buying but for the poor lady there who has to strip for money O_O.. heres a pic.. of cos it's much stricter now so they MUST wear clothes.
