mosquitos 2, me 7

i worked pretty much all monday. on what, i no longer remember. isn't it sad i can't remember 2 days ago?

monday night i headed to taipei main station and got dinner around there. there was a decent place for beef noodle, cheap too. i then caught the train down to taichung to visit relatives on the maternal side. i arrived at my third aunt's place. before heading to bed, i killed 3 mosquitos. upon waking up, i killed one. taiwanese mosquitoes are big.

tuesday was spent eating with the relatives. breakfast was from 9-10am. lunch from noon-2pm. lunch was at a western style buffet. there were a lot of dishes to choose from, but my fav was the black pepper sauteed ostrich.

after lunch we headed to my first aunt's house to rest up and chat. there, i killed 3 mosquitoes, but left with 2 bites. those suckers work fast.

dinner from 6-7pm. i could barely eat dinner, so we just got a couple of items in the nearby night market. one was the stinky tofu. i've been going to this place ever since i was a kid, and it's still as good as ever. the pickled cabbage is sweet. they put a bit too much sauce, so the skin is not as crispy, but it's very flavorful. after dinner i caught the train back to taipei.
