on the 5th day of taiwan, my true love sent to me...

(25th May) - Taichung

f&e day at taichung so we decided to go sing k in the morn. we saw many KTVs during our bus ride and was amazed by their sheer size. some of their ktv building itself looks big enough to be a shopping mall. so we let our imagination run wild on how the ktv would be with drop down screen and projector. lo and behold... it was true!

completed with tambourine just like korea!

and BOY am i glad that my travel companions loves 猪脚 too.

after which we went in search of our taiyangbing 太阳饼 store.

after we ordered our tai yang bing, the couple got lazy and went back to the hotel to rest while jfeng and i continued to hunt for BASKIN ROBBINS!! (it was my idea actually)

we walked for almost 2.5hrs across empty lanes until we reach another civilization where we saw many people and DOGS. they were having a pets adoption day and dogs were everywhere.

including this bulldog.

and FINALLY BASKIN ROBBINS after 3 hrs of search! liping would have been REALLY PROUD of me.

jfeng and i found a bus back to the hotel to meet up with the couple and found maggie crying because..... she was watching I NOT STUPID. (wa lao!) and then we spotted these fireworks from our windows. and off we went to a nightmarket which seems so near yet so far.

lesson learnt in taichung: dont trust how places may look near on the map. THEY ARE NOT NEAR.
