So here's an effort to make use of our Sundays in a more 'efficient' way. Since it's the only day that EVERYONE has off, we all try to get pissed off trashed the night before (except for me because I like to do my laundry on Sat. nights and have ONE beer. My tolerance is embarrassing, I know.) Then we drag ourselves out of bed the next morning despite the pounding headaches and upset stomachs because we don't want to sleep our day away (but we really do), and we still want to see more of Taiwan...the country we're growing to love...
This week, we went to visit the Longshan Temple which is one of the longest standing temples in Taiwan, architecturally speaking. I think. The tourist pamphlet doesn't say much here...so I'll refrain from doing so too. There were tons of people praying, incense everywhere, food offerings for the gods, gigantic paper mache things, and outside was a night market where people sold things they probably stole off a delivery truck or other people.
The gave out incense...
Alright, so we were REALLY at IKEA, furniture shopping. We also had Pizza Hut for the first time here (we ordered the Supreme) and to my amazement - it tasted like Pizza Hut! Of course they had all that other weird toppings too like fried rice, egg tart, or shrimp and corn - otherwise, it just wouldn't be AZN.
Then we headed over to the hockey game where I pee'd all over myself and the reason being - I had to use one of these fuckers...
This is actually the cleanest one I have seen so far. Believe you me, I have seen WAY nastier ones. I taste a little stomach bile just thinking about. Ugh.
