Yours truly is taking almost a month long break from work. I needed not-to-work for a while. The beginning of the break saw me taking off to a land four and a half hours flight away from our sunny island. I ended up in cold Taipei.
So enjoy these pics while i collate and organize my thoughts. Time for a mind spring-cleaning session.
If you have not seen me before, you would think i'm as tall as Aud but the truth is.....
I'm being 'elevated' :)
The temperature was hovering between 13°C-20°C and i'm constantly wrapped up in at least three layers. Don't laugh, it's seriously cold for me na!
Taipei, the land of glorious food. Thank goodness i have Lotus & Pammie with me. I serously couldn't read Chinese and i have no clue what some of the food are.
A super gigantic raddish cake!
A different variation of the smelly toufu. I don't quite like this, prefer the normal one.
Braised chicken leg and duck wings. Lotus bought some on the last nite and we had a quiet nite eating this, drinking Taiwan beer and chit chatting about everything in the hotel room.
The super big chicken steak. Everything is like extra big in Taipei, even their hotdogs!
Woah...!!
Bubble tea stalls are aplenty but this one specialised in white bittergourd juice. Supposedly to be good in battling heatiness.
Beef noodles
Grilled squid
Gyoza
I love smelly toufu!!! It's really very tasty. You got to believe me and try it once.
On the third nite, i just craved for some good old familiar food and i found Kentucky Fried Chicken!!
Taipei streets are flooded with gorgeous, slim and very pretty girls. Seven out of ten wear fake lashes though and their noses are sharp, small and with a slightly high nose bridge.
Fake lashes sold in packs of twenties. I'm not good at wearing them although Lotus gave me a lash applicator from Make-up Store. But ain't it tiring wearing them day in, day out?
It so happened i saw this - nose clip in one of the shops. Decided to buy and see if it can really make my nose as sharp and high as the Taiwanese girls! The sales girl told me all i need is to wear this for 15mins a day.
Immediately i tried it on when i reached the hotel. This is how my clipped nose looked like from the left.
And this is from the right. But alas, i didn't bring it back with me and so, my dream of having a nice higher bridge nose is gone :(
So until the next entry, have a great day at work everyone. I'm going back to my warm bed until dinner time. Then it's wine time with a good DVD in bed.
