Taipei / Taichung, Day 2



Taiwan's largest amusement park



"Leofoo Village Theme Park"


Looks dry eh?

























The weather is soooo hot that even tigers are soaking themselves, chilling~






Monkey kingdom



I wonder how can they stand the heat


This rascal was attacking the bus



Say helloooo to Simba


This one looks mean






RAWR!



This theme park lacks what a theme park is suppose to have



A great atmosphere









NEI WAN OLD STREET

It is old alright





The old train station which is still serving as a train station


At a coffee chop/restaurant




Best PAN TIAN you can find in whole of Taiwan



It looks like Pan Mee but the texture is way better.







A pet shop




Delicious looking mochi









The noodle shop



Is the shop owner posing??





Yummiest dumpling ever!









The oldest cinema in Taiwan



It can only accommodate about 15 ppl



No James Bond or Wall-E here



Maybe some Bruce Lee or Lin Dai's movies




Shin Kong Mitsukoshi
This is where I bought Jay Chou's album











One thing I like about Taiwan is that they have special boxes for certain vehicles








Feng Jia Night Market

Small sausage in a bigger sausage





People queueing up to buy the hotdog


I totally had no idea how it tasted like


I assumed it taste like a normal sausage




There is another stall on the right hand side which sells the same sausage


But this stall has more business, because the sausage tastes better


You can tell by the length of the queue


I forgot to upload a photo of all the ingredients they put in the hotdog


It is actually a sausage in glutinous rice(shape of a sausage)


As far as I can remember they added raw garlic, minced meat, spring onions, pickles, ginger, another kind of pickle and a few other stuffs.


Sounds weird but it taste awesome!!







This night market is made up of many rows of shops, unlike Shilin Night Market which is made up of one very long row of stalls at both sides





The funny thing about crossing roads in Taiwan is that, vehicles are allowed to move when it is the pedestrians' turn to cross the road. I do not know what kind of stupid system is this.



Somehow this guy was waving frantically at me


He must have been overjoyed


Papparazi snapping a photo of him














This jelly lime drink can be found almost everywhere we went. So I decided to get one to figure out what is the big deal about this drink. And yea it tasted good. Refreshing!








Almost 98% of the 2-wheels vehicle in Taiwan is made up of scooters. Yes that's right, scooters and not motorcycles


Notice the piece of paper at the back of the scooter?



A closer look of the piece of paper.


Everytime, there will be this guy, issueing this ticket
