day 3 - taichung to kenting

day 3 was really exciting because we are embarking on our road trip. we check out of tomato rooms in the morning and took the 922 am train to zuo ying train station, collected our rented car at 和运 and off we go!


the two drivers.


the vehicle commander and the entertainer/deejay.


hw was the first one to drive. it was a long scenic journey from kaoshiung to kenting. we stopped over at this place for lunch:



eat at 猪脚店 of course must order the 猪脚. 
 
pig intestine.
 
炒板条
 
炒山苏. darling we ate this at hualien before. remember? :)
 
红烧豆腐. the compulsory tofu dish that hw wants. *how apt that he likes to eat tofu*


the whole meal cost NT1000.


i took over the wheel after lunch, and drove to our 民宿. our 民宿 is minimi inn. very convenient location. downstairs is the night market. and it is very cheap. each of us paid 25 sing dollars, for both nights. the only disgusting part is that we cannot throw our toilet paper inside the toilet bowl because the toilet bowl will get choked. so we can only put our stained toilet papers inside the bin beside the toilet bowl. yucks. reminded me of my overseas training camp at taiwan. 


quite nice right? hahahahaha. well worth the money.


we put our things in the room and continue to explore kenting. it is super convenient to have a car.



i took a picture of this 民宿 because got my chinese name. hahaha. 岩手.
 
some lighthouse thingy. we couldnt go in because it was closed at 4 pm. we reached at 415. boo hoo hoo...


you can tell for yourself which photo is from me and which photo is from nzj. 


out of the blue, we decided to do a dance photoshoot. the theme for the photoshoot is to recognise nzj's stature and efforts in nuscd, hence the theme is COOLIE.


the original coolie.


coolie xuehong.
 
coolie yy. (hw was busy eating his sun biscuit and din bother to do the photoshoot)


both xuehong and yy fail. let the original show us how it is being done.


nzj win! *clap hand clap hand* support original! no piracy!!!


we had early dinner at this nice bistro called 香蕉湾沙滩小酒馆. i found this place on a taiwanese local's blog.







the dinner also cost us NT1000. the 3 of them thought that the dinner was more worth it than the lunch. :p

drove back to our 民宿 and we explored the kenting night market! our 3rd consecutive night of night market action. zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

throwing darts to win prizes. 

the prizes that we won:




day 3 concluded!
