Saturday
So by saturday i was absolutely exhausted. Still, Paul and I went to this place a little ways north, called Danshui, where the river meets the sea. It’s got a nice boardwalk with lots of food stalls and vendors of everything imaginable.
Including lots of grilled squid.
And here’s proof i ate–and actually enjoyed–it.
I don’t, however, know if I’ll try what’s really a market delicasy…stinky tofu. Basically fermented tofu that smells putried, like rotting garbage, but apparently only tastes half as bad. The Taiwanese love it.
Then we had lunch, which sucked, so we gave in and went to mcdonalds for mcnuggets. Here, Ronald is consoling me in my quest for familiar food.
Later, we went out with some folks to a jazz club, and then back to the hostel to drink. Below are Michelle, from Australia, and Paul, and behind them are Jurjan and Troy , from The Netherlands.
Later we met up with a couple Canadians, a Singaporean and a Japanese man. Lots of fun. And in a few hours, I’ll be bound for Bangkok!

And I thought we were going on a McDonalds withdraw… Tisk tisk! Oh well, sometimes you just need the golden arches to get by.
