Early in de morning we went to 中正纪念堂 to take pics as well as to view de changing of guards. When we reached there, to our surprise, there were lotsa pple wearing yellow or white tee gathering @ de parade sq rite in front of de memorial hall. They r pple fr 法轮宫, n apparently they’ll be sitting @ de sq chanting. We went to c wat we’ve wanna c, n tt’s changing of guards. We’ve to climb up de very long stairs b4 we reached de monument. De changing of guards ceremony occurred every hr. de guards were wearing white, n their faces were very stern n expressionless.
Next, we went to 永康街 4 lunch as well as try 冰馆’s ice! It’s most famous dessert was mango series, but de others were very tasty as well. De stall was very small, but it was full of pple queuing n waiting 4 seats. Actly I tot tis street was a very quiet street n mebbe not many pple noe of de ice stall. Obviously I’m wrong coz tis street was very happening.
We went to Taipei main stn aft tt bcoz of it’s underground shops n idée departmental shop bcoz many pple haf been promoting it. De underground shops stretched 3 mrt stns long. N there’s accessories shops as well as bk stalls. There’s oso a shop selling jazz music @ de last stretch of st, but tt pl was more popular 4 having many youngsters practicing hip-hop. There were mirrors along both sides of de street 4 them to practice, n yellow tapes were made to segregate de areas 4 diff teams to practice.
B4 we left 4 士林夜市, shiying came back w/ leslie n her bf. Leslie even brought her doggie w/ her, called wuni, 1 yr old. She’s very cute w/ brown fur, n she doesn’t bark. She’s afraid of strangers, but dunno y somehow I managed to carry her. I’ve alwaz been afraid of dogs, but she’s so gentle tt I’m not scared of her @ all.
We went to士林夜市 to do our last shopping. It’s really full of pple over there. It’s so crowded tt u could hardly move freely but oni to follow de crowd. Despite tt, I still lyk it being interesting. There’r stalls set up in de middle of de streets b/w de shops @ both sides. When these stallholders learnt of police coming, they moved swiftly to de sides as if they’r legal stalls. Then they moved back to their original postion aft a while. I managed to get some dresses n a belt over there. When we were abt to leave, we saw jap tv stns doing filming of 士林夜市.
Wow, time is running fast. Cant imagine tt I’m gonna be returning tmr!
