Taiwan Trip Day 2 (04/07/2009)

Before I lost my blogging urge, I shall continue to day 2. We (me + Jian Wei + Jia Wei) went out with Po-min and Devin to Jiufen. It was a nice morning :) On the way to Jiufen
First stop of the day - Jiufen Old Street. Now that they erected the signage, looks super touristy la...
We also tried things like ice cream crepe, abalone mushroom, and had beef noodles for lunch. All shown below.
We also ate the yam ball (literal translation), which is chewy and yummy yummy. See what happened to Jian Wei and Jia Wei after they've tried it.
Went crazy hahaha. Or more accurately, transformed into Domo-kun! After the yam ball, we went further up the mountain to look at the scenery. It's super beautiful la!

Before I left Jiufen :)
After Jiufen, we went to Jin Gua Shi, where it is previously famous for being a City of Gold (okla just a gold mine lol). Look at the gold bar below. It's worth a whooping 218 570 000 New Taiwan Dollars!
Ok dreams aside, we went to Kee Lung in the evening by bus (a super zai driver on board), just to eat the super famous nutritious sandwich! (It doesn't look like a sandwich though, but the taste is extremely addictive)
After a whole night of eating and squeezing in the night market, we departed for Taipei through train. Well, I think this is the first train that I've ever boarded (MRT excluded). Stay tuned for Day 3! (It's gonna get shorter and shorter due to laziness to post photos haha)
