A Trip to Taiwan: 2nd Day in Taiwan

After eating our tummies out, we left for the seaside to take a walk or something. It was raining there. Our tour guide said that you cannot trust the weather at the beaches nor mountains. One moment it will be shining, and the other moment it will be raining!


On the way, our guide told us to not pick up any valuable rocks there. ( I can't quite remember, but I think that it was because last time a lot of people came here to pick rocks and there were less and less... )

At the seaside, there were a few stray dogs. I noticed one of them had got their foot injured! The dog was limping as it moved.



There were also a couple of stalls, one selling sausages and the other selling squid, smelly tofu, small intestines in big intestines, and intestine vermicelli.




When our tour guide mentioned "you yu", I thought that he was referring to oily fish!

We hopped on the bus, and continued on our journey.

A Trip to Taiwan: 2nd Day in Taiwan

We waked up at 6 a.m. to brush our teeth, pack our things and went to the place for breakfast. We were stunned by the astonishing view of the hotel although it was a three star one.

If you leave soya bean milk for too long, it will have a silky skin on the top.

The cup dispensers are too hard to see. Even when my father pointed where it was, I still couldn't see it.A cook was standing someplace cooking fried eggs. But their eggs are special, they are white, but their insides are the same as the beidge eggs!


We took the bus to the train station.Nearly everywhere, there is a "7-11" store. It is different from the ones in Singapore though. It is bigger and has a giant container where they put the eggs in tea leaves with water and they will become tea eggs. They are quite nice. At only about NT $7 ( about $0.31 Singapore Dollars ) , it is a cut-off price of 1 being $0.66 at my school's lantern festival.



This is the ticket for the train from Taipei to HuaLien:


On the way, I took some photos. Here are some of the best:






We took a short bus ride to a restaurant, and left for the seaside.
