Exploring Taiwan!: 24 July 2006

woke up early in the morning and had my free breakfast provided by the youth hostel...the uncle at the restaurant was really friendly...chatted with him while i eat...he was rather surprised that i could actually speak such good chinese as he had always thought that Singaporeans only speak English haha...anyway i took an hour bus to Lukang (鹿港) at Zhanghua (彰化), just south of Taichung...walking around and can sense that big wind has already starting to blow, first sign of typhoon!...could see that some of the roadside tentages starting to fly alittle lol...some shop keepers in fact have already starting to pack up even thou it is still so early in the day...ate 麵線糊 for lunch at this little shop...wow really delicious...end up eating 2 bowls of it...walk around again and i probably dun even know where i am heading to thou...kinda lost in the so many alleys intertwining with each others...but those alleys are rather unique and interesting, u know like in those 武俠小說 that kind haha...finally manage to find my way around after some asking around...went to Tienhou Temple (天后宮)...lots of people praying there since the Ghost Festival is starting tomolo...ate more foods from the roadside stalls...tried out those small fried prawns and crabs...really tasty haha...headed back to Taitung in the evening...rested a while before going for dinner at Zhonghua Night Market (中華夜市) and Yucai Night Market (育才夜市)...there isn't alot at Zhonghua NM, but Yucai NM was really crowded with university students and teenagers...somewat like Ximending of Taipei...things there are of cos really cheap too as they mostly cater to the students...eat and eat and eat again!...went back to the hostel and that night, i had the whole room to just myself =p

the shop i went to eat my 麵線糊...note the "無餓不坐" lol
