Taiwan Trip Day 2

Sorry, no pictures until day 3….

I woke up Sunday morning feeling great, did not feel a bit of jet let at all. I wonder if it’s because I was so looking forward to this trip, the excitement overwhelmed the fatigue. My sister suggested a Teppanyaki place where we could go for lunch and I was all for it. If my memory serves me correctly, the last time I tried it was at Benihana in Miami years ago, and it was very expensive. The place I went with my sister is located in mall, but when you walk inside it feels like a warm family type restaurant. No fancy decorations, no over-price menu. Everything tasted delicious and the price was very reasonable.

After lunch, I asked my sister where I could go and get all the things I need to buy on my “shopping list”, she suggested Kwanghua Mall (光華商場). Many of my Taiwanese friends must be very familiar with this place. Although most of the venders mainly sold used books when the mall first opened in the 70’s (see pic attached), today the mall has become best known for a place to shop for electronics such as computers and stereo systems.

The place is huge, hundred of mini-store fronts venders occupied in a 6 stories building. You can easily spend the whole day there and not feeling it. I called up my buddy Ron again and met him and his friend Paul there. I did manage to get something checked off my list but I figured I may have to come back again.
