Shopping!



Another day, another neighbourhood walk about. We found a good one (neighborhood) today, according to the guide book it's hip, and according to me it was pretty cool. Lot's of shopping. Based on my impression so far Taipei is all about shopping and eating. So, basically, A+.

I got this dope little necklace (see above) for my neck! Bling! We found it at this cool shop called galoop (check it out: www.galoop.com)

We also went to the Red House Theatre (thanks Mark!) and visited some great little artist shops and I got the sweet bag you see above.

After all the shopping we got hungry, and we went to this little shop and we ate what the server recommended. Probably not my go-to strategy for eating, here's what we got:

1. Soup (actually, the soup was really good)
2. Octopus tentacles and fish balls in brown curry sauce.
3. Various greasy meats, including sweet sausage and thick bacon-y meat served with rice.
4. Spinach (or similar greenery) with salty/fishy mayo.

Now I'm not saying this food was bad. It wasn't. But what I am saying is that I like vegetables better than I like greasy meat. I've learned how to say "vegetables", so hopefully there will be more of them in my belly instead of strange sweet-ish meat-stuffs.

Despite the wee-spree we went on today, we've been managing our money pretty well, I'd say.
