A nice little cafe that's right next to where I purchase a SIM card
|
|
when I go back. They serve Takoyaki, as well as these, um, "cake

sandwiches"?

*** 7-Eleven
|
|
Yes, you heard me right. We should probably spend a day or two getting
|
|
food from a 7-Eleven.
|
|
|
|
In Taiwan (probably in other East-Asian countries), 7-Eleven (and
|
|
other kinds of these "convenience stores"), actually sell good tasting
|
|
food.
|
|
|
|
These convenience stores have all sorts of connotations and use cases,
|
|
but I think the most telling kind of way these stores are treated is
|
|
the following: 7-Elevens are a common stopping place for children who
|
|
just got off of school, and need a place to sit, eat, and do work
|
|
before their after-school tutoring lessons.
|
|
|
|
The above use case almost gives 7-Eleven a kind of library-type feel,
|
|
except instead of books, they sell packaged snacks, food, and various
|
|
useful trinkets.
|
|
|
|
** Night Markets
|
|
Night markets are a kind of night-life phenomena that are common in
|
|
Taiwan and China. I get the impression that these are prevalant across
|
|
all of East Asia, but the sentiment that I get is that this is a
|
|
phenomena that originates in China/Taiwan.
|
|
|
|
Night markets are basically a conglomerate of popup stands that only
|
|
open up at night, and are lined up in a way to facilitate a kind of
|
|
leisurely strolling experience. You walk, there's a line-up of shops
|
|
selling gadgets, trinkets, and importantly street food. There's also
|
|
gambling opportunities (fun games to play for prizes or satisfaction).

My favorite place to bike to. It's a 4.3 mile bike trip (8.3 mile
|
|
round trip).
|
|
|
|
Especially in the early morning, when nobody else is there.

People normally try and travel to here via motorcycle, but my silly
|
|
brain says that it's bikeable. It's a 29.6 mile round-trip, uphill one
|
|
way, downhill the other way.
|
|
|
|
Last time I went, I left around 4AM, and got back by noon. On the way
|
|
back, this pesky thing called the sun rises, and makes things hotter,
|
|
so the way back - even though downhill - is way rougher IMO. There's a
|
|
[[*7-Eleven][7-Eleven]] in the middle, where I had to stop and cool off for a while
|
|
before making the rest of the trek back home.
