So this is the second time that I'm moving in a week (it will be the same routine the next 5 weeks, sadly) and I was told that I'll be spending it at the principal's place. Upon learning about it, I was pretty nervous and stressed out. The image of a principal in me has always been that he/she is strict and well, not that fun to be hanging out with. So while packing my baggage for the weekend stay, I was really conscious in making sure I packed clothes that looked "more decent" (if that makes sense). And that would mean no shorts, only jeans. No slippers/ sandals, only covered footwear. And with that, I was ready for my weekend staycation at the principal's place.
Turns out that she actually arranged for her nephew to bring me around to explore Taichung! What a relief. Else I would be feeling all nervous and tense the whole day. Her nephew, Will, brought me to several places on Saturday. We started off by visiting this place called Qing2 Mei3 Cheng3 Pin2 (a mall). This mall contains an eatery/restaurant called Chun Shui Tang. I was told that they are the inventor of Bubble Tea. So we dine in at this restaurant and gave their bubble tea a try. Verdict: Not too bad. Wasn't exceptionally special or tasty to me. After which, we visited a traditional park called Ming3 Su2 Park before heading over to Xin1 Zhi1 Fang1 Ting2. It's a place that's decorated with the theme of flowers, etc. A perfect place for couples to head to for a date. It's also a famous location for wedding ceremonies and wedding photo shoot. It was pretty crowded when we were there so I took really little photos. Then we headed for dinner at Ding3 Wang3. It's a place that serves hot and spicy hotpot and it's quite a famous place for dinner among the locals here. Finally before the day ended, I was brought to do a leg massage around the area. Really comfortable and something that I didn't expect myself to be going for in Taiwan.
Sadly it rained on Sunday and we stayed in almost the entire day before heading out to a night market in the evening after it stopped raining.
Again, pictures shall do the illustration! (:
