Day 4- Sat, Jun 13th

Had lunch at Modern Toilet Restaurant near Ximending. Before that, got lost while trying too find it. Some of you may know this restaurant from Jacky Wu's variety show. The chairs are all toilet bowls in all patterns. Food was quite reasonable with drink and ice-cream when you order a set. Funny thing is that locals or chinese people have to go down to the cashier to pay for meals 1st but our neighbour, could just pay the waiter and the waiter will collect the change for him. Wah lau! Different treatment leh. Anyway, here are the pics:

Very pretty toilet seat covers on the walls


D.D.'s set lunch, the curry really looks like shit in the toilet bowl!


Me with the ice-cream, a good way to end the meal is dessert


Next stop, Sun Yat Memorial Hall. We were very lucky as there was an event, tink its drug prevention event. The whole "parade square" was filled with different school's band. From green, yellow, black, red, blue and other colors. Quite impressive. Also, there were many booths with their army personnel demostrating to mostly kids. We were given stickers. haha... I must say that the place is really enormous and scenic. The ang mohs are the best, as I was taking pics for D.D., they offered to help us both take couple pics. After which, they commented that our care bear couple tees were very cute. Thank you man!

Think this is the place where the ppl came after they fought for freedom?


Performance by school bands




Really like this pic alot, look at the roof and the dark clouds


D.D. chasing a rat


At about 4pm, we caught the changing of guard which was one of the things to catch in Taipei. The whole place was so quiet, you can only hear the guards' stomping their boots with in-built horse shoes. The whole change of guard took about 10-15 mins. The guards supposedly are there on shift of about 2 hours and are not allowed to move prob only blink and breath. Poor thing.

Look at the tourists on the side viewing.


In the evening, we headed to Shida Night Market (very near to a uni, got alot of students). Unfortunately, it rained cats and dogs, even with the umbrella, we could not move ard. Changed destination and headed to Shilin Night Market for the 2nd time. Stayed under cover and had some food like the coffin bread. Its quite saucy, think there is corn, cheese and ham in it. Next, we tried the smelly toufu. Actually there is no smell till u bite it. The 1st few bites were a torture. It tasted bitter and wierd, forced D.D to finish the whole plate. Haha. At least I have tried it. Next up, we were pursued by fierce aunties of dessert stores opposite each other. Settled for one, not bad, u can choose your ingredients. We chose pudding, black pearls and kiwi sauce. The ice shavings was surprisingly fine and tasted abit like milk. After filling our tummys, we walked ard the place, nothing to do as it was still raining.
