Day 20 - Officially Homesick! With mere three hours of rest, I crept out of bed and headed out with the rest to 平溪, which is an hour's journey away from Taipei central. It was where our landlord and his family lives. The moment I stepped into his house, a sense of familiarity and feeling of home engulfed over me. The family was obviously opulent, the home decorations was lavish and the flooring was just very much gorgeous. That said, we love the family, because they were humble people who genuinely wanted us to have an enjoyable time in Taiwan. With our two youthful girl guides, we set off to 十份. It was relatively touristy, depsite looking remotely rural. Nothing exactly fantastic there, but being able to smell refreshing clean air makes it all worthwhile to come here. From the bridge, we got see a panoramic view of the beautiful landscape too!     We had late lunch at 青銅, and the cold tofu was really luscious and delectable.  we strolled back to 平溪, enjoying the scenic view along the way. The guys made their way to the temple, and I headed to the old street, where I saw a horde of people queueing for wild boar sausages. Being a typical Singaporean (quoting YL), I joined in the queue and voila, it took us 40 minutes just to get the food we desired.  BUT TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT, THE CALORIES AND FATS. Sausages were very well barbecued, and it didn't feel greasy despite the layer of oil clearly visible. The meat was tender and fresh, and the aftertaste was deliciously memorable. The barbequed chicken meat was really done too, and it taste very much different from your usual Taiwanese chicken cutlet. But the highlight of the day was the homecooked food that our landlord's mother prepared. It made all of us miss home so much, and it made me really miss my mother's cooking! =(   We set off the big lantern thereafter, where our wishes were well written on it. Playing with firecrackers were loads of fun too! Definitely an experience that I wouldn't forget!   As I was heading back home to Funky, it made me realized how much i enjoyed the day and how I miss home badly. Mother still have not called and she seems to be occupied everytime I try to dial back home. Oh well! |
