Hello love. I love all your pictures, the water looks fantastic and serene. I’m glad you finally got the opportunity to ride the Hello Kitty Ferris Wheel, (love the panoramic view). I miss you and can’t wait to see you. Aren’t you glad you went now? I knew you would have a great time. That and I would have kicked you for not going. Take care gorgeous.

I’ve only been on a Ferris Wheel once (in HongKong too!) and it was incredible fun. The view looks amazing and I love that last photo of the wheel itself; reminds me of Hachikuro lol.

Even here in the Philippines, calling a teacher “teacher” is widespread! They even sometimes shorten “teacher” to “t’cher”, which I did, myself, when I was in elementary school. XP

The gremlins. They scare me.

Ooh, and Hello Kitty Ferris Wheel? That’s nothing: we have a Hello Kitty-themed bus running around the Manila streets. XD

omg! Again with all the yummy yet still somehow slightly troublesome foods (at least the snails were perplexing)! And the silly “washcloths” had my belly grumbling.

i stumbled on your blog and am loving the pictures– i miss taiwan quite a bit so i’m always searching for pictures and blogs of my home.

i think it should be called dou-hua, which essentially means tofu/bean flower. it’s tofu, made very finely, and usually cooked sweet with ginger soup/syrup. dofu and tofu are the same thing, it’s actually pronounced doh-fuu but the taiwanese romanization of names made it become tofu instead.

have fun on the rest of your trip!

Yeah, dofu translates as tofu but it encompasses a lot more than in English- pretty much any soybean-based white stuff… amazing how tasty it is, though, huh?

Gorgeous

I like that area with Confucius temple, and the Fu-Zhong tourist street.

Thanks for this. I am a writer and am about to move to Tainan (from Latin America) and had already marked the museum as a place to visit.

Good photos, good commentary, saludos!

I’ve never heard of 夫丈大 being used to mean “male chauvinist pig” in Japanese, but the characters do roughly translate as “a husband of great height”, so it’s possible. Incidentally, if the characters are written in reverse order 大丈夫, it becomes “daijobu”, which is a commonly heard word in Japanese meaning “all right”, “OK” or “safe”.

Excellent photos and a great site!
