Last, half day @ Hsinchu
We loaded our luggage up to Teammate JI's car before we started our day. A rather cold cold day~~~
1st stop - Shen Keng
Despite the drizzling rain, we walked along the Old Street with many of the shops were under construction but it was a nice experience looking at what they sell - whether edible or inedible.
We took on a “challenge” - to eat coldcold icecream and cold cold tofu-alike dessert on the coldcold day. Haha! Nice taste!
One of which has an unique strong “burnt-smell”.
We also settled at one of the makan place for lunch, spicy tofu + duck blood, Shen Keng tofu and "oil rice". I quite like the "oil rice" actually, very very simple without any side dishes, just rice with sauce.
2nd stop - Jiu Fen
It was then another quite-long journey up the mountain to Jiu Fen - the place where the three of us almost freeze to ice. Haha!
To add on to the low temperature of 11degree, it was raining!
We squeezed through the crowd from shop to shop along their famous Old Street.
Till once we cant take it anymore so we quickly found a café and settled for a hot drink.
But the warmed-effect was gone immediately we stepped out of the café. -_-
After a short, very short walk… though there were still alleys we yet to conquer but we decided to end cause it was too cold. We headed back to the car in the rain + strong wind. Grrrrrhhhhh~~~
Teammate JI drove down the mountain before she had another long long drive up Taipei.
Salute her from the bottom of my heart - not a single moment of tiredness or sleepiness.
I very much wanted to accompany her so struggled BIG time to keep awake.. Haha! But I failed for a while, fall asleep but quickly woke up and continued to talk to her. =p
Thats the end of our trip @ Hsinchu!
A big THANK YOU to Teammate JI and Friend AN for their great hospitality and love!
From picking us from Taoyuan Airport at late late night (despite having an important event the next day) to sending us to Taipei to the many many long ridessssss. Not forgetting opening up their house for us to stay over.
