mY t@iwaN tRiP...day 5

Today's breakfast was a little better.. They actually had sushi.. Though it wasn't tat gd but at least it was something different.. After breakfast, it was a long bus ride along expressways and hills to taizhong to a place called Sun Moon Lake.. Its a beautiful place with mirror-like calm water and there is also a big temple called Wen Wu Temple there as well.. There were 2 very big red lions guarding the gates of the temple.. quite unique as we dun see coloured lions guarding gates often but our tour guide Caifu told us its gotta do with feng shui.. In the temple, we managed to catch the mins of the spurs vs cleveland game.. haha.. the temple staff were actually watching the game too.. Anyway, happy that spurs won the 4th and last game.. Go SPURS!! After lunch we went to a place where they are famous for their royal jelly.. My mum ended up buying some.. After tat, they allowed us to put on some traditional costumes and headgear to pose for some pics.. Dun we all look cute? haha..We were supposed to visit a peacock park after tat but it was raining very heavily so we decided to give it a miss.. Everyone didn't mind so our guide juz took us to our next destination which is the Lu Fong Earthquake Museum.. The museum used to be a secondary school but after an earthquake , the govt decided to convert the school into a museum.. Of course, some parts needed repairs as the destruction of the building was quite severe.. See the pic of the track below.. It was raised to a height of about 2metres.. After the visit to the museum, we went to the Feng Jia Night Market.. Caifu told us not to eat so much as we were going to a fabulous restaurant after that.. At the night market, we saw a pet shop with lotsa cute dogs inside but we din dare to take any pics..

Dinner that night was at the strangest restaurant i've ever seen.. Its set up by this lady with big dreams.. i would recommend everyone who goes taiwan to visit her restaurants.. She has 1 in taipei, tainan,xinying and taizhong.. Every restaurant looks different.. one really has to go n experience it yourself.. I checked out her website and it is really cool.. Her site is http://www.five-dime.com.tw/


After the fufilling dinner, we went back to our hotel to take a rest.. tml morning's morning call is 6am.. but i din sleep until about 1am.. haha..
