| Stinky tofu with Taiwanese kimchi |
I have finally arrived in Taiwan. I've pretty much settled into my first host family's apartment. So far my major first impression of Taiwan is that it is HOT!!! But the country is really pretty and people are pretty nice and friendly. Yesterday, I went with my host sister and her boyfriend to Danshui (or Tamshui as it's written on the MRT line). It's a seaside district in New Taipei City, and is accesible by the MRT (subway). It was crowded, but then again, it was the weekend, so everybody probably thought it would be a fun place to go. And it was, lots of little trinket shops (little wonderful treasure finds that i'll explore later), and street food. I tried some of the street food, some stinky tofu. It was...different. It was okay, but i think it's something of an aquired taste, so i'll keep trying it, and see if I like it. The city's also known for being the home of a Canadian missionary, George Mackay, who established the first hospitals of Western medicine, and formal education facilities. All in all, Danshui is a fun little cute day trip from Taipei!
