16th Sept - Fisherman's Wharf, Tam Shui, Old streets

Not to be confused with San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, its Taipei's Fisherman's Wharf - 淡水鱼人码头.
There was this temple proceedings at the street where we stayed.
inside the MRT station
Old Street 淡水老街
pig's trotters + innards for sale!
chicken feet (the food i mean, not the literal meaning), chicken innards, some veggies..
selling catch of the day! As I was taking this picture secretly, the neighbouring stallholder asked me, "li ai hip xiong, wu gio yi chio3 bo? bo chio3 wa gio yi chio3 ji tio hor li hip" Which struck a chord of familiarity within me. The uncle was speaking to me in Hokkien, which means - "you want a picture? did the uncle smile? if not i ask him smile then u can take again." I was secretly happy. Haha, i don't know why.
chickens (dead) on top, chickens (alive) below. Fresh chickens? order and kill and take home?

Tam Shui Wharf 淡水码头
Those pasar malam games were rampant here.. I tried my hand at throwing darts -
Don't play play.. i burst 4 out of 6 water balloons, ok! haha! That is 60% hit rate. Anyone wants to challenge me to Time Crisis?
and won a bubble blower and a lollipop. Haha
The ice cream u see is the famed ice cream which u can spin to very very tall...but NO TASTE one! Like eating ice water. I threw mine away after ONE slurp. Yes, missus is a very picky and spoilt brat when it comes to food.
Guai lan people. They say no parking, you still park!!??
大树下乘凉



Fort San Domingo
We were in luck! The Fort San Domingo was opened for visitors today! Free Entry! Since we were killing time, we went in to see see look look...

haha, please tell me i have sexy LONG legs

A history tour round this place.. About how this port in Taiwan was taken over by the French, Portuguese and then Brits...and then I forget already.
After this we went into Aletheia University....

Fisherman's Wharf - 淡水鱼人码头.
People who are pak toh-ing (otherwise known as dating) can come to this place. The bridge behind us is the 'Lover's Bridge'. Haha, you can torture your prospectives by demanding, "you don't piggy back me across this bridge, don't even think of marrying me!!" See - i make a good jie mei (for those who are getting married..)
Dunno why i smile until like that.. must be missed a step then paiseh machiam want to fall down liao.
假惆怅!几琼瑶一下!哈哈!
Night view of the bridge
I super like this shot. Kudos to Panasonic Cameras - my favourite! In case you cant tell, I am on the extreme Right.


If you have been following my blog, you probably can recall that I was sick when I was in Las Vegas. Well, the sick monster has been pestering me since. I was nursing a bad cough...till now! Well, I went into a pharmacy - cheena kong kind. And bought this cough capsules. Which works magic! After I finished this 10 capsules, my cough was waving me bye bye already.I was coughing like a pneumonia being...but I healed. Magical.
