Most popular pet is The Bichon Frisée. Like the Jack Russells are to the UK. Not all night markets are the same. You could take a chance at shooting some hoops or popping balloons in addition to the array of tongue tingling tidbits. Food is the star of this whole country. Marquees feature silhouettes of chefs in chef’s hat or a giant mochi cut in half, as big as your house. Bubble tea or “Boba” was invented here so like the hands of a clock, there is one for every hour. Every glance is either a store front, billboard or a hand holding bubble tea. Coin operated karaoke . Push in the code of 8412 and get ready to sing “Paper Roses” The Pacific Ocean water is blue compare to the greenish hues in Huntington Beach. No graffiti no trash no problem. 30 NTD ( new Taiwan dollar) is 1 dollar US. Tonight staying at a 9 story hostel with a Japanese style tub. I sit in as I sip my white gourd and lemon tea boba thing which has theses little seeds encased in a tart jelly like fruit. Slightly sour then a little sweet and tiny crunch once you bite seed . Taipei has just as many layers as the drink. How did we all get so lucky.
