Timbre's the star TC!
Here we are at fenchihu - east of alishan. This place serves as a rest stop for train commuters who would drop by this cosy cafe -
It's also one of Timbre's favourite place and i think he found his favourite dessert here: The chinese name of this fruit is called ai yu, (Translates: love jade) which is actually the fig fruit. The inside of the fruit actually looks like a pomelo, all you need to do is to dry the fig fruit to store it for up till 1 year and when your craving comes, put the fruit under running mineral water and give it a good scrub and press until the seeds become soft and you can cook it like jelly.
ta dah! Timbre's favourite!
That's my dear boy, basking under the sun under the blooming tree....
Can you find the little dog? He's just standing right under the 2,300 year old tree - the sacred tree of alishan!!!! That makes him just as sacred... right Timbre?
Timbre: woof!
Of course the 2,300 year old tree wasn't the only bad boy around. We also made it up to the top of the World's tallest building (by far)! Timbre loved the surroundings i suppose... the mist was starting to gather, just thin enough for the little boy to enjoy some scenery...
There you see almost a formation of a yun hai (Translates: sea of clouds). We needed more luck than this!
When you're up on a mountain, the sunset is a die-die also must stay and watch one.
Well, back to being in Taipei 101 - the little dog got really facinated by the big damper that is said to keep the building straight in the event of an earthquake... It moves in the opposite direction so the building won't get too dizzy... Good for us and perhaps it might have been a good marketing move - Taipei 101 has personified the lifeless big ball into cute toys that can walk and fly. comes in different colours of black and red as well - quite a grimace to me though- like how Ch*na gives silly names to 5 pandas that actually means "Welcome to Beijing". That's no wonder I wasn't too keen on getting souvenirs when I was there. Anyway, not to digress...
