taiwan diaries day 2 part 2

the number of overdue overdued posts on my dashboard is overwhelming. i'll try to finish them this easter break :)

anyways, continuing from my taiwan/hongkong posts 4 months ago (oops!), after checking in at our hotel, we went to the Danshui Fishermen's Wharf where the wind was so strong the weather so cold i left my camera in the warmth of the car and went out with 2 scarfs, one jacket and a hot cup of milo. it still didnt help, so no photos (oops, again!) my apologies!

the fragments of the entire travel escapes me after 4 months, so i'll try my best with these bunch of pictures.

pink flowers outside our hotel at quandu

after warming ourselves for abit, we made our way to Danshui old street, selling many local delicacies and had these little store fronts selling souvenirs and memorabilia. there were game stalls where we tried our hand at shooting down as many ducklings(?) as possible to win a prize. hui won one, and i guess all i did was shout my way through the entire game.

a whole wall of hand-painted tiles!

cute little kitties! i actually regret not bringing one home now.

the infamous ahpo iron eggs. they were basically eggs marinated for so long a time their egg-whites hardened and blackened, and they shrink to the size of quail eggs (i think)

by the time we got back to quandu, it was time for dinner,

and desert

bean curd taiwanese style! sweet potato soup+taufufah hybrid mix. deliciously awesome!

after making our tummies happy and satisfied, me and hui decided to walk along the stretch of streets. we stopped by a pet shop to get some souvenirs for xiaoxiao and stumbled upon this adorable munchkin! the petshop owner lets her roam freely around the vicinity of the shop, and she was all curled up sleeping when we met her. but when she awoke she was in a mood to play! we tested the toys we wanted to buy for xiaoxiao on her, and just couldnt let her out of our sight!

watcha lookin' at mydear munchkin ;3

we did a little photowalk at the park opposite our hotel in the dark. dogs walked pass us and sniffed us with much curiosity but they were cute doggies anyway so we didnt mind the attention.

that's hui bytheway :)

that's day 2 for you! till next time!
