We took a train out to Hsinchu today to do some scavenges there. We saw the East Gate and then the City God Temple. Remember we meet someone yesterday from Sugarland, TX? Well, today at the City God Temple we met a local lady who spoke perfect English. I asked her if she had ever been to the states and she had not, but her son lives in Houston and goes to school there. So crazy.
We completed some of the food scavenges and that was quite interesting. The first was zong-zi and was a pork and rice mixture. The second was Boba and is a milky drink that has tapioca pieces in it. Both were yucky.
When we got back to Taipei, we went to fishermans wharf and saw the “Lover’s Bridge.” A group of girls approached us and asked us to take a picture with them. Turns out they were from Manilla and since we were there just last year at this time, we had plently to talk about with them. We also got to eat the world’s tallest ice cream cone.
Shortly thereafter it started to pour down rain. Earlier in the day, my purse broke so once it started raining, we went shopping for a new purse and then headed back to the hotel for a quick nap before the group meeting tonight. Tonight we found out that Myanmar is our next destination. I had read up on Myanmar in the past as Zoe was hoping we would make it there on this trip. It has only recently opened up to tourists. I am really excited to go but just a little nervous. Its super hot there and is going to be the complete opposite of Taipei and its modern way of life. I am loving this trip!
