Five Days in Taipei

On July 9th, last Monday morning, my mom and I went to Taipei and spent about five days there. My cousins came over as well, and together, we went to a museum on Tuesday and we went to see a movie the next day at Miramar Entertainment Park (美麗華百樂園) to see a movie called Brave. It's the same place we went to last year to see Cars 2. We also did some other exhausting, fun activities. We returned home on Saturday afternoon. As usual, I had lots of fun!! Well, here are some pictures!

Monday:

Yes, those were my tired eyes.

My mom looks better here.

In the train. I was sore throughout my body.

After lunch, I went with my cousin to her piano lessons.

Her classroom.

The view from above.

That night, we went to the market to enjoy slushi ice !! Mine was strawberry snow ice (the translation is Snow Ice).

Red beans over green tea flavored ice.

My cousin's honey over aloe flavored ice.

My aunt's.... normal snow flavored ice.

We shopped around for a while.

This is Lemon Jelly ice.

Traditional stinky tofu!

Tuesday:

My cousin and I went biking.

It was a nice view, cool breeze.

There she goes, my cousin!

There was barely anybody around.

Some birds and dogs, though.

I took this when we crossed the bridge.

We stopped to rest for a few minutes.

There was one dog in the lake. Now there are several. You can imagine how hot Taiwan is.

Taipei 101 in the distance.

My other cousins arrived later.

All of us, including my aunt, went to the museum to look at Three-dimensional books.

I remember being here when I was younger.

My aunt and my cousin go off to buy tickets.

My cousin was checking her brand new itouch.

The gift shop. Pictures were not allowed to be taken in the museum.

We kids rested outside, exhausted, while waiting for my aunt.

Another gift shop around the corner.

That night, we went to a Cantonese restaurant.

One with a cellphone, the other with an itouch.

Fried tofu.

Red cooked ribs.

Shao Mei Ding Sun.

Cantonese style noodle.

Wow.

Wow.

My chocolate flavored ice.

A pudding over snow ice.

My mom's or my cousin's.

A very disturbing, defensive backpack. I mean the one on the left.

Me with my pretty cousin.

Wednesday:

All four of us went biking the next early morning.

That noon, we went to Miramir Entertainment Park.

Tada!

I had no idea what was going on.

Yay! Gone to see Brave.

I love this picture!

Here's what I think of Brave (No spoilers!): An enjoyable flick, with beautiful animation, mind-blowing music. I also love that girl's big, fuzzy red hair., and I like her friend. Overall, the film was good, but it was too short. I'm glad the tickets were for free. In my opinion, I think 2 hour movies are worth to see in theater.

A fear of heights, anyone?

Still had no idea.

On our way back.

We went to the vegetarian restaurant that we always go to whenever we're in Taipei.

Thursday:

We went to have some ice (again)!

In case you're wondering, yes, I did gain a few kilos. But I'm back to my normal weight now.

We went to Watson's.

French fries as a side dish for dinner. Not mine.

Salad, my side dish. We all had hamburgers.

My mom with my Ah-gong.

Friday night:

We went to a Korean restaurant.

A vegetarian dish.

My cousin's other piano classroom.

Just me, in a large, vacant room.

On our way home.
