Day 5 - Kao Shiong

*Digusting to reside in different parts of Taiwan every night* (ok ok, I'd quit the whining, but it really is awful lah, like some lunatic on a jailbreak... always on the go)

Today, one highlight is the Er Luan Bi gardens - such lush, well-kept gardens with rolling small hills framed by swaying woods... the only sensible thing to do is to lay on the soft grass and read a book under the blue sky-white clouds. Within this garden, there is also a small bazaar right on hilltop facing the ocean, selling windchimes. Can you imagine that? Such utter peace, I wouldn't mind being one of those old stall aunties, spending time with the wind and sun.





Another interesting place we visited was a temple with a "counting" burn chamber. This one's very cool! The chamber's been designed such that air draughts would naturally suck in all the "paper money" placed at the entrance of chamber like our POSB/DBS/OCBC etc money counting machines - the very same flipping action and sound! Almost comical.



Tonight at Kao Shiong (the place with most HDB-like buildings), we gorged ourselves silly on hot steamy shabu-shabu. ~S$38 for four of us, ate till beng(1) san(1). Totally immobilized. The only saving grace is it's soupy gorging. No (or little) fats involved lah.
