Happy Constitution Day &/or Merry Christmas from Taipei!!!
I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Or happy Constitution Day, as it is here in Taipei. Tomorrow is my friend Shou Chi's wedding reception here. Monday, we go to Malaysia. Then next Sunday is the ceremony there.This may be the warmest Christmas I've ever had, though it's only in the 60's and rainy. This is my first Christmas not spent with any family, though Shou Chi can be like a sister to me. Also definitely is my farthest from home on a holiday. Though New Years in Kuala Lumpur will change that next week :) Ok, I should get going! Have a great day everyone! Have a wonderful New Year too!
Answering my uncle's question about what I have eaten here:
I have had black eggs (boiled chicken and other birds), pigs blood, oysters, squid or cuttlefish (Shou Chi isn't sure of the translation), congee, taro balls, foot high ice creams (ube-green tea swirl and a mango) cones, turnip cakes, taro cakes, bread stuffed with cuttlefish paste, mochi in bread, fresh ... See More starfruit and other fruits I don't know the names, dried/pickled cranberries, mango, and Taiwanese peaches. Hrmm that's all I can think of that's different from more usual fare.
