Food glorious food

Festivities at the Heaven and Hell temple Tainan.


Scooters in the rain.


Try your skill with BB guns at the night market.

We went to an all you can eat bbq and shabu shabu restaurant. Shabu Shabu is hot pot, a big bowl of stewing water heated underneath. Inside you boil all kinds of vegetables and meats. The soup was 'herb' on the menu and contained goji berries, astragalus and other strange things but certainly felt very healthy. But we didn't really go there for the hot pot we went there for the all you can eat bbq and all you can eat we did. There seems like there is quite a few of these all you can eat places around town but this one was definitely the best value. Infact I can't imagine how they make any profit because we definitely got our moneys worth. It cost 450nt which is about 10punds with limitess sushi, sashimi ,beef, prawns, fish, squid and scallops to throw on the BBQ. Delicious. We went with Lisa our landlady and she ticked 1 of everything on the menu. It was a feast and all the protein i would need in a week. I would deifintely recommend it to a friend. It was the the stone bbq on Jhonghua road. Theres always a line so book ahead.

Went clothes shopping yesterday it was fun, for me that is, not for Pra who moped around between the railings playing the part of the bored boyfriend very well. The only problem is the size, everyone is so bloody tiny here. I managed to squeeze literally squeeze into a few things so I am happy with my wares. Infact I plan on doing more clothes shopping. Clothes here are cheap but the quality can also be poor too. 

It's Easter today not feeling very Eastery tho. Had a late one in Armory infact the stragglers came tumbling out of the doors of Armory drunkenly singing at 8am. Then we had spicy beef for breakfast. 5 hours kip then we met up with a friend called Bell who cooked us some traditional Turkish food it was really tasty. I made my very easy Salmon and cream cheese surprise. The surprise is that it is minimal effort with maximum taste. Belle has an oven so we could make it in there. It's just a little tiny thing but it gets the job done I would like to get one. Belle's really sweet. She was telling us how she is the only foreigner on her course at university and she finds it quite lonely. :( She's very good natured so I am sure we will see more of her. And a good cook. 

I've got to plan lessons now loooooooooong!!!
