the trip to taiwan

"we're travelled like gypsies, only with worse luck and far less gold" - fall out boy (sophomore slump or come back of the year)

last thursday i went to taiwan on a company trip and only got back late on sunday. it was a retreat of some sorts so it was good to finally have some sort of a break even if it was a short one.

taiwan is certainly a place for food. there was just so much food available that it was crazy. i was just eating, eating and then eating again.











the first night it was pig's innards noodles. the unique point of this shop was that everyone had to stand to eat. it was pretty yummy.











then we went to another place for some large desserts.





















and yes, i'll have you guys know that i had almost all of that on my own for lunch!











taiwan is also known for it's fried food...











... as well as it's smelly tofu. the tofu not only smelled bad but it tasted terrible as well. it was like licking a garbage truck. not that i would know...











there was also a lot of fruits...











and really huge ones at that...





















to work it all off, we walked it out in the many night markets till my feet and back ached...

i'm not really one for shopping (yes, shocker!) so i was the only one who come back home with the same amount of luggage as i left with. but everyone else seemed to spend loads of money and came back with extra luggage. i didn't really think the prices were all that cheap and i guess most of the stuff there wasn't really suited to me.

that said, on the whole the trip was good.
