Location | Taichung

It’s raining like crazy outside. The kind of rain that goes WHOOOOOSH when it hits the ground because there’s so much hitting the ground at once. The dog is sleeping on the floor next to me and the bird is making an awful lot of noise.

Well tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. My mom has been making a lot of those sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves things (Zhong-zi). I’m kind of hungry for one now, but I’m too lazy to think about it.

Yesterday I went to the Puli Winery to check out the foods and stalls. I got this apple flavored jello, egg tarts, and some passion fruit mochi. All quite tasty. I prefer the egg tarts tho. They’re a differnt kind, they’re called “Portugal style” and the crust is flaky like a pastry, not like the old fashioned kind.

I also went to a lake where we went on paddle swan boats that were old and smelly (like everything else in Taiwan). It was nice to go out on the lake that was all brown…

Anyway, being back in Taichung is nice. It’s not as hectic as Taipei which makes it an ideal place. I love going to the Chung-yo area to just shop and eat food. Mmmm…

Not much more to update on. Bye.
