Taipei and Hualien trip (1)

Apau Jie had already promised to bring us to some trip. Last Tuesday, we went for 3 nights trip to Taipei (1 night) and Hualian (2 nights). 

On the first night in Taipei, we went to Shilin Market to have a late dinner. That was the first time I tried the delicious Taiwanese hot dog. 

It looks like normal hot dog, but instead of using bread, it uses sticky rice. It's oily and sticky, but tastes yummy! 

We also ate some other stuffs like pork ribs. Actually I was not so sure if they were actually pork ribs, cos the shape was not like a rib. The meat was not that much and it sticked to intricate parts of the bones. So, I had to play my tongue and teeth nastily in order to get the meat. Xiao Hei kept on correcting the way I held the bone as if I was a baby who started learning to eat by myself. huff. But once, I took a bite, chewed, and swallowed  it, the sense on achievement was just... overwhelming. 

I remembered Apau Jie said that when she went for a trip, she had to sleep in a good hotel. That night, she proved it. This is where we stayed: 

The room in the hotel was very nice and equipped with jacuzzi. Sometimes, I wonder why people are willing to pay so much just to sleep for 8 hours...zzz. Btw, just for information, in this trip, I always shared one bed with A Yuin, the guy who drove the car. Sleeping with him was very enjoyable (don't think too much). The reason is he did not snore and he did not move a lot. It was like sleeping with a dead man, I like it=).
