Weekend In Hsin Chu...Again


Yep, last weekend, within two weeks of returning from the UK, my oh so considerate (please note the sarcastic tone) father-in-law thought we should endure a weekend in Hsin Chu once again.

I didn't really mind, but the fact that I was still jet-lagged and at work we were entering into an important part of our project, I really needed the weekend to relax a little. Actually, we all needed the weekend to take a breather and relax, but God thought we don't suffer enough and behold, the father-in-law is sent onto us.

Anyway, I don't really want to go into it, but be sure, I was not a happy bunny. So I took it on myself just keep myself busy by taking more photos. The theme at first was Taiwan's fruits. We stopped by a big fruit stand, and there was a lot of fruits on display, many of which you cannot buy back in UK.









One particular strange one is called "Dragon Fruit" (literally translated). The flesh inside is either red or white, and has what looks like little black sesame seeds, which are edible, otherwise you will be there for ever to pick the seeds out!



Ok, enough fruits, that was Saturday's activities. Sunday, while Chien-yu and Amelie was taking an afternoon sleep, I ventured outside of the old village house and walked along the main road and pictures of the surrounding area. The sun shining with a little bit of breeze. I think I needed the walk just to get out of the house and relax a little.

Going Japanese

After a bit of a battle in the bathroom with Amelie, she chose to go Japanese tonight. Chien took some pictures, and I thought I'd like to share them. Enjoy!

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Hello, Amelie is sick again...

Just an update.  I know it has been a while, but Amelie is in hospital with some bad virus.  Hopefully, she will get better soon...
