Today I got together with Hank, Peter, and Peggy at sTV near Taipei Main Station. We had lunch at h. Hank, Peter and Peggy all had a steak and I ordered a German Pork Feet. While we were eating, unexpectedly, the emergency gate came down and malfunction. Since our table was right under the gate, waiters evacuated and moved us to another table. Then the manager replaced our main course for free, in addition, he took 10% off the entire bill. So, I guess afterall it was a good deal. Then we took the MRT to Taipei 101, and "window-shop" It was great seeing everyone and hopefully I can see them again real soon.

I have been to many different places since the last entry. I took the train to Tainan and visited Charles. He took me on a tour to a few different historical sites such as r, G\], xnռq, g. There are guided tours included in the price of admission. Also, since his father is a professor at Cheng Kong University, so we took walks on the campus. Unforturnately, the memory card on my digital camera is running out of memory, so I couldn't take any pictures on the trip. Otherwise, it would be wonderful. After I am back in Taipei, my dad and I decided to try our luck and invited Auntie to join us at Shi-Lin Night Market. Although we already ate dinner earlier in the evening, she still ordered a few goodies for us to enjoy. Then, when we stopped by a Boba/Grass Jelly Tea place and was waiting for our order. We saw a dog barking madly at a what appears to be a homeless woman, according to the owner, the dog has been angry at that woman for over 10 years (!) So, remember, kids,... don't fight with dogs, otherwise, it will be a very long 10 years.

I went to the spa resort in Tien-Lai with my dad, Auntie Wei, and Cousin Judy. My dad and I went up there first on Saturday, then Auntie and Cousin joined us for lunch on Sunday. The spa room has a great view looking out towards the mountain. There is a river below the mountain. Since it was raining, we can hear the rain and running water outside. Afterwards, we gathered together in the room and had tea. I played pool afterwards with my dad being the coach and then later I played against Cousin for the rest of the afternoon. We all had a great and relaxing time up there. I thought Tien-Lai is a great place. The only down side was the area had too much moisture. I think I will go there again if I have the chance.
