Taiwan…umm…Part 5?

Taco complained that I didn’t post the many pictures taken at Danshuei. I told her, I wasn’t there so I couldn’t write about it. But to be fair, my friends did take a lot of nice pictures there so I have decided to pick some of them out. This fishing village is pretty scenic and many artists come here to paint. This old town is famous for it’s wide variety of snacks and foodstuff so obviously my friends had a great time eating from stall to stall. Here they are, 淡水 Danshuei and 八里 Bali as seen through the eyes of my friends.




This place apparently sells the best pepper pastry but unfortunately, my friends were not able to sample the famous puff. Just look at the queue and only one guy was making the pastry.


My friends discovered an interesting way to eat tomatoes…Taiwanese eat them with preserved prunes sandwiched in between and it’s actually quite nice.
Sunset at the MRT station…nice huh?

Last but not least, here are some random animal pictures taken during the trip. It was raining cats and dogs everywhere…besides us the tourists, this drenched kitten also seemed to be complaining about the weather.After all that rain brought on by the two typhoons, this dog obviously was enjoying a nice time basking in the sun at Yangmingshan.On the day of my departure, while waiting for my friend Clio at 西門盯 I saw this old man with his two huge dogs right in the middle of this busy district. The dogs were very attached to their owner but they were very well-behaved and friendly with whoever got close to them. The students and other passers-by all loved them but I’m sure Clio would have freaked out if she had witnessed this scene…hehehe!
