Aiesec winter explore day 21

Blessed Christmas to everyone!

Today at school we didn't have to teach but it's D-day for cooking chicken rice for all the teachers!

Wasn't very concerned because the main star was Josephina so the pressure's on her haha. She lugged the seasonings she bought from SG to nanshi!

We started cooking at 10 and ended at 12 noon. Was real tired!

The cooking auntie did the hard stuff like handling and chopping the chicken. Josephina and I did the easier stuff like washing veggie and rice, cutting the veggie as well as taste testing (yums).

When we were done, I carried the soup from the kitchen to the third floor staff room! Arms were shaking when I tried to drink soup later. Sobs


Looking good!

Haha comparison of josephina's cute small rice balls and my huge ones.


Principal looks on in interest as Josephina explains.

Everyone really liked the food!
At first to ensure everyone had enough we said each teacher can only take 2 rice balls. But because there're were leftovers, the "ban" was removed and a lot of teachers came to take seconds (or rather, thirds)! Woo! Success!

After that me and Josephina went to Taipei main station underground mall to shop. Shoes were quite cheap but I didn't buy anything.

Next up, went to houshanpi mrt to meet le BFF. Plan was to go wufenpu then raohe night market.

Wufenpu was so-so. Most stuff inside the shops were 390nt and the outside racks had 100nt (but not so pretty stuff). You really needa dig every rack if you wanna buy cheap, good stuff. 

One thing's for sure- there're clothes everywhere. Both Jocelyn and I felt super 眼花缭乱 and dizzy. Spent 200nt buying 2 100nt clothes haha.

After that was raohe night market because we researched and it was famous for good food! 

Sadly, first thing we did was to go KFC and eat the egg tarts and a piece of chicken =.= so much for going on a food trail at raohe. Can't be helped that KFC at Taiwan is pretty awesome!

Had cheese quail eggs at raohe!
Pretty good! (iPhone takes ugly pics in the dark!)

And the main star was the strawberry brownies crepe. 130nt. Highly recommended! Brownie and strawberry combo is a killer (for my throat as well).

Pic will be blogged by Jocelyn haha. I didn't take one.
