      Tamsui and Bali

      November 26, 2014 in Taiwan ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      We returned to Tamsui and Bali to spend a few days at my aunt's apartment. It was nice to have the whole apartment to ourselves. Tamsui during the week days are breezy and beautiful, and the old street area has plenty of food. A short ferry ride takes us to the Bali area on the other side of the river bank. This is not the Bali in Indonesia, but a very nice and quiet park near the mouth of the Tamsui river.Read more

      Day 7 [Waiting for Fitzy's photos]

      January 13, 2018 in Taiwan ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      今天是星期六。我们睡得比较晚,也不去吃饭店的早饭,但是吃了萝卜糕。然后我们坐出租车去曾老师的父母的家。我们见到了她的父母、弟弟和他的太太。我们先在餐厅吃酸菜白肉锅,它是一种中国北方人吃的火锅,然后去他们的家喝茶和吃水果,也看了可爱的狗。然后我去淡水,它是在淡水河口附近。我们参观了红毛城,它是荷兰人建的碉堡,因为很多荷兰人有红头发,所以以前台湾的人叫它‘红毛城’,它在山上,所以是拍照的好地方。凯尔拍照拍得最多。我们也走得很多。晚饭我们在一家小吃店吃饭,点了牛肉面、麻酱面、汤圆、烫青菜和猪油拌饭。然后我们买了很多东西,如:蜜饯、铁蛋、糖葫芦、甜甜圈、海绵蛋糕、鱼酥、蛋卷。回到旅馆以后,我们喝奶茶,并且吃了我们买的东西。

      Today was Saturday. We woke up late and skipped hotel breakfast but ate radish cake. We took a taxi to meet Ms. Tseng’s family. First we went to a restaurant to sour cabbage and pork hotpot. It is a type of hotpot that Northern Chinese people eat. Afterwards we went to their house to drink tea and eat fruit at their apartment. Afterwards we went to “Dan Shui” the area near the mouth of the river also called “Dan Shui”. We visited the Portuguese fort “Hong Mao Cheng”. It is called this because it was built by the Dutch, and many of them had orange/red hair, so in the past, the Taiwanese called it ‘Red Hair Fort’. It was on top of a hill. Kyle took many photos. We walked around for a long time. For dinner we went to a small restaurant and ordered sesame noodle, beef noodle soup, rice ball soup, boiled cabbage, and onion rice. Afterwards we bought dried fruit, black eggs, candied strawberries on a stick, Japanese donuts, sponge cake, fish chips, and egg roll cookies. At the hotel we drank bubble milk tea and the food that we bought.
