Taiwan: Ximending

Ximending (西门町) was the place we had been looking for. It's a common rendezvous for young people. We could see many dandy and trendy people clad in fashionable attire hanging out there. Florinna was putting on her Harajuku costume already.



Basically, Ximending is an area with a few streets and many shops along the streets. I think this is the place where you can find the latest Japanese/Korea fashion clothing.


Many rich guys like to stroll their expensive dogs there too. This dog was wearing a pair of sun glasses. She was well-trained and clever enough to follow her owner. Besides, she managed to pose candidly when her owner asked her to do so.


Sony Style. I went in to take a look for the gadgets and asked for the price of 2Gb Memory Stick Pro Duo. But there's no stock.


Ironically, I saw a few street food stalls at Ximending also. It's out of my expectation.


Lastly, Ah-Chung Flour-Rice Noodle (阿宗面线) was the ultimate food you should try out there. The culture of eating this noodle was standing in front of the shop and eat. Everyone was doing this although the noodle was damn hot.


Since 1975. The recipe was passed down from his grandfather? Btw, it's really delicious.
