A happy weekend

On this Saturday, I went out for a whole day. Many thanks to my colleagues in Taipei call me come out for fun. Starting at 1000 in the morning, we went to one of my colleagues owned shop for chatting and drinking Chinese tea with some snacks. Talking, chatting, eating for almost two hours, which is not common in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, normally, we go out to yam cha that you need to eat more than talk. The time is very leisure and the feel is good though I am quite tried to talk too much.

At noon, we went out for meal in Wing Hong Street (永康街), a famous food street in Taipei. That was a Taiwanese-style Japanese restaurant serving BBQ food that located almost opposites of a open space carpark. The food is very good as it cooks just after you make a order. However, it is a kind hot as sunshine was at our back. Then at about two, we went to play badminton. Interestingly, we'd spent almost 3 hours together to pick the racket and to reach the badminton hall in Lo Chau (廬州). Since our guide forgot where it is and we drove around and around, asking pedestrian and police. My colleauge told me in this area, people normally speaks in local Taiwanese but not Chinese that makes them some worry how to communicate. I wonder if they don't know Taiwanese. Finally, a Taxi driver pointed us to right direction and a old man confirmed us there is a badminton hall. Yet before we met the old man, we suspected for a while there was no badminton hall in the area.

Well, we played for over 1 hours and my whole body is very pain now. Very good exercise and fun. Then we went back to Taipei city for dinner at a BBQ and hot pot restaurant just behind my staying hotel at eight o'clock. It is very convienence for me. That restaurant is good and it costs us NT$480 per person with unlimited food. They also server Hagen Dias and Japanese ice-cream too. Very full and joyful dinner this night and I'm really happy to meet those friends there and have a very good time.

I am still wondering the chance for me to work in Taipei and to meet so many exciting and interesting things and people there. This is a very interesting and different experience that makes my life has more stories to tell.
