Last night I hung out with my cousins. They're a hilarious, crazy bunch :) It was Allan (flew from Houston for the wedding), Aunt Shan-zhen's sons (edit: Huang-bing and Huang-shiuan), and on of their girlfriends, May. I'm really bad with names, and Allan goes by their Chinese names which I can't even remember. Yeah, anyway. It was pouring rain last night (plus thunder and lightening) and definitely not the best time to be going on a large ferris wheel. But...we're Taiwanese. We can wade it out. We drove out to Neihu district, which is almost outside of Taipei city. There is a big mall out there called Miramar. This plaza has an 8-floor movie theater, American brand shops, and a ferris wheel on the 5th floor. From the ferris wheel, you get an awesome view of Taipei. Though it was raining and all the windows were foggy, I still captured a few successful photos.
look out below!

Afterward we went to feast on sashimi and sushi. Ah heaven! However, I have had a weak stomach for the past week, but I am a bad sick person and couldn't resist. So. Much. Good. Food...
don't worry, I only ate the masago (on the left) handroll!
So nice! I went on the Miramar ferris wheel last summer during the typhoon :D so I know how crazy you guys are haha. You went on the clear one too huh? Brave souls. When I went on with my friends.. the speakers were playing "Killing Me Softly" and my friend who was afraid of heights was screaming to get off (x
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm eating more Japanese food here than Taiwanese...hmmm
