Below is a picture of Jennifer and Moss (two Taiwanese friends who accompanied us on our trip).
Below is a picture of Tainan from the 13th floor of a shopping mall.
We visited the "Eternal Golden Castle," though I can't remember the Chinese name for it.
This is the entrance (above)
The Eternal Golden Castle was a battlefield historically, and so there were cannons everywhere like the one shown above.
Yep, that's Jake (note the hat)
A section of the "castle" grounds.
We also visited a large temple in Tainan. The detail inside and out was absolutely beautiful. As Jake noted afterwards, the place was also very peaceful.
The above picture is one of a girl praying.
Jennifer and Moss insisted we try a treat called "bean jelly." I ordered mine with the little red beads you see in the photo; I'm not sure what they're called, but they gave the jelly an interesting texture.
The picutre below is a statue by the Tainan harbor. It was beautiful in person (of a woman looking out to the sea).
Tainan was an incredible place to shop! There were loads of interesting things to see and smell. On one street, there was a cotton candy machine (only 10NT).
Jake in the process of fetching his cotton candy -- a feat that requires a good measure of skill.
Success!!
While in Tainan, we were lucky enough to visit the beach. Neither Jake nor I had seen the ocean in a very long time.
Below is a picture of a very loooong row of scooters -- they roamed the streets in packs!
moped madness!
We hope to explore the night market tonight. However, we were just informed that we may be experiencing a typhoon this evening ... typhoon = no market. Either way, there are sure to be photos for the next post.
Thanks for reading. Until next time.
