Bei Gang day 2

This was the hotel that we stayed in last night. Pretty neat huh? It cost US$60, which is pretty expensive, considering the location. But it was a pretty nice hotel.

I was enjoying the bed in a roomy AC room, not as much as I want to enjoy the bubble jet below though.

Around 8:30am, Akung pick us up. Errrrrr........... I still wanna stay in an AC room. I no want to go............. Nooooooooooooo.............. I have no choice but to leave the nice AC hotel room.

We went to the temple to have breakfast. It was a pretty neat temple. The roof has lots of nice decoration on top. It was very detail.

And look at the carving on the pillar.

The surrounding area is prepared for the bai bai...

And then we had breakfast. This is a typical store that we ate all over Taiwan. They are not a nice fancy restaurant, but the food was pretty tasty over all.

After breakfast, we head to the department store to pick up some stuff. Here was the first time I rode in the car/shopping cart. I looked cool in it.

For lunch, we had this very very good chicken. So good that Mama forgot to take picture until the last piece. The chicken meat was so tender, dip it in the white pepper. My goodness..... suddently I was heaven..... I can still taste the chicken melting in my mouth. The soup is also good, but it was nothing compare to the chicken.

Then we went bai2. Everybody put their stuff on the table, then bai2 together from a certain time to a certain time.

There was also puppet show with Gods in it

It was so hot that day. I think it reached almost 40 degree. Without AC, imagine that!!! It was a pretty pretty hot day. We (not me icluded of course) decided to eat Frog Egg (not the actual one. This was tasted a bit like boba), the best n cheapest Frog Egg around Taiwan, the whole big bowl for only less than US$1. (US$0.60 to be exact if I remembered correctly). Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I can't stop eating it. It was so good in this hot hot day....

It was very common to have this kind of arcade and finger foods after the Bai Bai.

Yup, it was snail on the top right.

Below is the stinky tofu. Yummmmmm...........

Ama borrow this bicycle from the neighbor for me.

We were making a man made ac below. The AC felt soooo good....

At night, we had a party (we wish......). It was our neighbor who had the party. See the drinks, it was 50% alcohol. Somebody can parrrteeeee.......

Akung ordered the food though. They were so many foods and very gooooooddddddddd...... We had the portion for 10 people, only 5 adult and myself eating it. We had to give away some of it.

I was downgraded tonight, went from a AC hotel room to a floor in the house. I coulnd't sleep the whole night, no position was good positon. It was the first time I slept on a hard floor and worse night of my life. It was so hot and the floor was so hard. What an experience.....

Bei Gang day 1

This very early morning, around 4am, we woke up n went to Bei Gang to go bai bai, the many reason why we went back to Taiwan this time. I woke up at 4am, then went back to sleep in the car on Mama's lap. When we arrived there around 9am, that's when I felt really really hungry, cause I haven't eaten anything yet. Anything tasted so good at the time.

We went bai bai that morning, then we're done for the day. (We still need to bai bai tomorrow and the day after).

I was pretty bored that day until I found this very cool looking car. I played n played n played.
I liked it the most when Papa pulled me.

Finally the day end. Akung took us to find a hotel room for me, Mama, and Papa (mostly because of me), cause it was very very hot and I can't sleep without AC. We found 1 motel, it was a pretty smelly room, so Akung took us to find another motel (even though he was already so tired n sleepy then. Thank You, Akung). After driving n driving n driving, finally we found a motel which is much much nicer and cost around US$60-70. It was pretty expensive considering that it was a suburb area. The motel was a pretty nice n clean hotel though. They have flat screen TV in the room, flat screen TV by the jet spa (n did I mention jet spa). They called it a Car Motel cause the guest can park the car downstairs.

Chiang Kai Sek Memorial Hall

We flown to Taiwan on September 1st. Only I and Mama went to Taiwan. Mama was pretty nervous taking me alone on an airplane. But she made me so busy with all the toys and food she prepared from Jakarta. I behave, too. We finally got to Taiwan around 8:00pm Taiwan time. It was good to see some familiar faces, Papa n Akung n Ama. I was not as fussy as I was in Jakarta. By the time we got home, I went to bed.

The first day we were in Taiwan, we went to Chiang Kai Sek Memorial Hall. By this time, I and Mama already feel 100% healthy. It was pretty hot and humid in Taiwan. We felt it more here because Akung & Ama did not really use AC, like in Jakarta. Last night, I had to turn the AC on, otherwise I couldn't sleep.
