A Wonderful Day with Carla, Her Third Day in Taipei

On August 27 (Tuesday), I served as a tour guide for my newly-acquainted friend Carla, who just arrived from Switzerland on August 24. We got to know each other through our mutual friend Shu. The following photos showed how we spent the day.



 



Ate traditional Chinese food at DingTaiFung (http://www.dintaifung.com.tw/en/default.htm).

 







Visited Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall (http://www.yatsen.gov.tw/en/?PHPSESSID=d2adc640f09bc6eb086d62acc492dca7).

 



On the way to Eslite Bookstore at Xinyi District. Carla has a crush on Taipei 101. She loved to have pictures taken with it.

 



Had some tea at a teahouse in Eslite after browsing around.

 



Took MRT to Jiantan with Wayne, a former student of mine, who came to join us after work.

 



Visited Shilin Night Market (http://eng.taiwan.net.tw/m1.aspx?sNo=0002090&id=154 or http://www.taipeitravel.net/frontsite/en/food/foodListAction.do?method=doStoreDetail&iscancel=true&menuId=1030601&storeSerNo=32011051800000555).

 



Tasted stinky tofu for the first time, with frowning brows.

 



Tried teppanyaki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teppanyaki).

 



Gina, a former student of mine, came to meet us after work.

 





Walked around the night market.

 



Waiting for the shaved ice with mango for Carla, shaved ice with chocolate syrup for Wayne, and papaya juice for Gina and me.

 





Wrapped up the night market tour with a BB gun game.
