Taiwan Day 3

 It was such a terribly rainy day when we went to Yehliu! omgoshhhh, we had to buy these super ugly yellow plastic bags to cover our heads and white plastic bags for legs. hahaha, we looked like yellow aliens

 but nothing stops us from getting tea eggs :D haha, we were so intensely fishing eggs we didnt even stop to pose for a pic. hahah

we also ate ice cream pancake in the rain. :p


we went to yehliu geopark

Let me explain how they are formed!!

as you can see from the picture below, there are two different rock types. I think the darker rock on top is granite, whereas there is soft silty sand below.

Thus, the sand is weathered away extremely quickly, but the areas with granite on it is a little more sheltered, therefore, leaving granite 'heads' on columns of sand.

but as you can see, the sand is still being weathered very quickly, making the neck so skinny.

it really looks like a person's head right? hahah

 maybe it was the rain getting my hair wet, but i was grumpy, and scolding everybody for stepping on the sand and causing faster erosion.


oops! but i have to do my part to save geographical features!



then after touring the park, and climbing a hill up and down (dad's idea), our guide took us to eat from a famous duck stall. hahah, according to him, the whole street was sustained by the human traffic sustained by the fame of this one stall. 

so here is this famous duck.

most unfortunately, this is the only pic of me looking happy at the meal. hahah

cos i accidentally bit into a fish which was full of white small fish eggs.

i nearly fell off my chair in shock. i really have a weird phobia of small identical white spherical things.

like ulcers, shingles etc. ok im getting goosebumps thinking about it. ):

then our guide took us to eat a famous fish ball noodle soup. my tour guide is really funny, he always tell us stories about the besttt food in taiwan. hahah

 the fishball in taiwan is very different from singapore. it's something like meat ball!

 famous beef noodles! yumyumyum! this was really good :D

a dessert that we had to walk up a few flights of stairs to get this. supposedly the best in taiwan! hahaha, we thought it tasted the same thoughh


lovelove!
