豪大大鸡排 与 soul and the city

The only thing I, as a tourist, happily liked about Taiwan, must be the 豪大大鸡排.......


Yay! This one in 士林夜市


Yay!!!

I have never seen a place where most of the people just couldn’t wait behind you when boarding a plane, frantically shoving through when you are stowing your luggage into the overhead compartment, without turning their heads back or having the slightest sense of apology.

I have never seen a place when people failed to nod/respond when you accidentally touched them and said sorry.

I have never seen a place where people will come to stand in front of you when you were admiring a picture in a museum.

I have never seen a MRT station where you line up by the side, but once the coach reaches everyone moves to the center and plunges in without letting the passengers to come out first.

I have never seen a place where you can find 4 or 5 big pieces of pig-blood cubes of 8cm x 8cm at least in a not-spicy-at-all spicy-soup steamboat (this is definitely biased, just my personal hatred).

Hypnotize me, hypnotize me. It’s just difference in culture. It’s just difference in culture. The measure towards indifference of public’s manners is just different from what I perceive of a developed country.


Rude kid kept looking, laughing and discussing about my head, the parents just ignore him. What's wrong!? (not with my head, but with the basic manner teaching?)


I don't think it's that nice. It's just the packaging. Micro and Macro alike.


That's the scary pot. That famous restaurant's name is 飞天麻辣火锅


Some places are much better, the places where most outsiders look at.



蛮难吃的O-jian


好闷的渔人码头


Damper Baby! The only souvenir I would buy!


猫空,something like mini Cameron highlands ba.


101 from a cab.


Fried Quail's Eggs (not bad)


Pinang and sexy girls (some are aunties anyhow). It's everywhere, telling the world that the lure towards pornography is oozing.
