Taipei 101 fireworks

The last Taipei 101 fireworks show with Tina & Jessie

YangMinShan 陽明山

風景美麗的竹子湖


Maersk Line 的員工：他們在公司裡都要說英語


面天山的山頂

這片平地真的是火山口嗎?!!

跟了Selina 的公司團隊登山，每個人都會說很流利的英語喔!!
今天的天氣真的很不錯，在冬天都會下雨的台北是難能可貴的。
不知道我走了多遠，只知道我的腿之後痛了一整個星期。
其實陽明山最出名的是什麼？觀海月花？看火山口？攀七星山？泡溫泉？
Tracy 說有次打風後，火山口都是積水，他們在那裡游泳耶...
真的是不可思議...

GuanDu Cycling Track 關渡腳踏車徑

GuanDu Cycling Track

今天帶了 Dennis 到關渡踩腳踏車。雖然那裡沒有很自然，風景也不錯的。我踩了五公里便喝了三瓶飲料。要減肥嗎？說說好了...

The first party I host in Taipei

My landlords have gone to Japan for a week. Haha... imagine the furious look of my landlords if they got to see this... :p



I did punish myself by washing up all the dishes till 12am, throwing away tons of garbage, and tidying up the crime scene as if no transparsers have invaded.

I thought it was a simple dinner, but in fact there were more cultural issues involved. Not that the Germans were big and made the 700kg lift overloaded (to be honest, maybe the lift is too old?!)... but I was scolded by Jessia, that I should have given my "guests" a much better reception, so that these foreigners have a better impression about Taiwan. She even said if I invited her for a dinner in HK like this, she would get angry....

Well... I must admit, first, I have forgotten that I am in Taipei now, and I don't look different from a Taiwanese, so I was expected to bear the extra responsibility of enhancing the image of Taiwan. Second, I never intend to impress my friends by showing them the best possible, but the reality. I do this even in HK... :p But despite this room for improvement, I guess we had a great time.

P.S. and we received Lübecker Mazipanz as a token of thanks :)

BiTan 碧潭

BiTan Lake at XinDian

仲有呢個o係新店o既碧潭，總於明白點解小予唔肯陪我o黎；好彩今日係路過，如果特登o黎都會幾失望。同香港o既城門河可以相提並論...

東區粉圓

東區粉圓 - 在忠孝敦化站、常常很擠的一間店

黑色的是粉圓；我們在大街上很"白目"的合照

Jessia 因為要翻釋國語給我們這兩個"阿豆"聽，感到很頭痛。我和Lai 常常問很多"白目"的問題，她都說我們很"機車"。我們在東區粉圓店裏拍了很多"很俗"、只有遊客才會拍的照片。我"唬爛"說可以吃一百個豆花，她們都說我"吐嘈"。我的打扮不會像"台客"，因為我是"港仔"。

東區粉圓是我的國語學校。

LongShanTemple 龍山寺

Long Shan Temple; Tawanese politics

A 2L glass - Hey, don't mistake, this guy is not Dutch :p

German count++; Renee, a colleague of Lai working in Singapore. Wierd enough, I have more German than Taiwanese acquaintances here in Taipei.

MaoKong Gondola 猫空纜車

MaoKong Gondola

This is the newly opened MaoKong Gondola in Taipei. I feel like I am a real tourist.

The making of Radish Cake

Taiwan Mahjong

Freunden von Gervase und das taiwanesische Mahjong und der Spieltisch

Was ist so besonders mit dem Mahjong des Taiwaners?

- Man spielt mit 17 Steine instatt 13.

- Sogar mit einem Punkt kann man das Spiel gewinnen und beenden

- Mit verschiedenen Munster kann man das Spiel mit extra Punkte winnen, z.B. der Stein in der Mittel in einer Dritte, die Steine 1 oder 9.

Es ist eigentlich sehr schwerig, Munster mit hohen Punkten zu machen...

雙連站的月老廟

Wir haben den Tempel des "Alters der Mond" besucht.
Er ist der chinesische Gott zur Liebe.
Naja... eigentlich glaube ich ihn nicht...

3rd day in Taipei

"Tofu Hua" @ Eastern District Fen Yuen

Hsinyi brought me to 誠品 and 東區粉圓. The former is so well-known, although I don't read books... and then latter is a famous shop for "DouFu Hua". The difference between HK and Taiwan Tofu Hua is: we don't add ice, red beans, 湯圓, etc., but only yellow sugar.
