on the 4th day of taiwan, my true love sent to me...

(24th May) - Jiaosi, Taichung

like i said, jiao si is a hotspring town. there's nothing much to do except soaking urself (泡汤), and there's nothing much except streets and streets of 汤屋。(see if u can spot the signs)

then off to Taichung 台中 by bus! Fortunately in tw, there's always 黑轮 ('or len' in hokkien = oden in japanese) for travel food. in manda's dad's words, it is just japanese yong tau fu but at least its nice japanese yongtaufu.

another thing about buses is that its DARN COOL. there are 2 common tv screens (think tv mobile) in front of us showing different shows, and on our armrest there is actually a control which allows u to play the audio to which channel you want to watch and the sound comes right out of the headrest of our seats! i rewatched 'day after tomorrow' during that 3hrs odd journey.

when in taichung, you can't miss the biggest nightmarket in the whole of taiwan - 逢甲夜市!
(Feng Jia NightMarket). It was a saturday so the place is PACKED, it was difficult to move much less shop. instead of a blow by blow account of what we ate, let's just introduce my favourite...

芋冰! i love yam and this is my favourite 冰 amongst all that we tried.
