We spent our Saturday with some family friends. Lunch was amazing - we had my all time favourite Peking Duck. Afterwards, we headed off to Nan-Kang to a family's holiday apartment to sing and to swim.
I did not know any Chinese songs so most of the time I just sat there twiddling my thumb and wondering what Dicko and Kyle would say to each of the performances I've heard.
Then they got me to sing Edelweiss and some Disney songs. Oh dear, I've never been more embarassed.
Next day, we went to this produce/food market which is inside Da-An Forest Park.
Dates or prunes.
Huge grapes
Funny how they have sandboxes inside a park
I think I may have fallen in love with these steamed peanuts. I used to take out peanuts when they're in my food - but these are soo soft and full of flavour..yummm.
I fell for this beagle. He looks so sad though, so unlike the normal hyper-active beagles :(
He must be sick.
Huge ears - I just wanted to cuddle it!
It's Christmas time, so what else but POINSETTAS
This caught my eyes. A golden retriever with Hello Kitty backpack and a little maltese in a shopping trolley?! I don't know what to make of it.
Look! I spot them again!
Awesome colour for poinsettas
Ughhh what are they?
Up close and personal...the entire fungi family
Cool water feature.
Looking for a friend for Mr. Lonely. However didn't end up getting one as I didnt wanna carry it around with me all day.
Hermes Christmas Tree.
My store..
Tiffany & Co. Xmas Tree - another example of the materialistic representation of Christmas.
Time for snack
Yummy stuff - I don't really kno what that is though.
Taipei 101
Little drummer boys and girls.
Me and Nao! Cool ear muffs eh?
I met Nao on the plane from Taipei to Sydney 3 years ago as she was sitting next to me. She is Japanese and was heading to Sydney to learn English - so spoke in English back then since it was our only common language.
She has moved to Taipei around a year ago after she graduated from uni in Japan...
When I met up with her this time - I started on conversing with her in English. However after a few blank looks, she spoke to me in perfect Chinese saying that she's pretty much forgotten how to speak English! It is a weird experience speaking to the same person in a totally different language.
