Day 5 of Taiwan.
Went to this place where there were many peacocks first thing in the morning. All the peacocks there must have had been damn sleepy or something because all of them refused to spread their tail feathers to wow at and take photos. Not even one! The tour guide tried to sound his loud-hailer music(which was Für Elise by the way) so as to make them spread their tail feathers(he said that it used to work...-_-) but to no avail.
As the peacocks couldn't be bothered to spread their tail feathers, I couldn't be bothered to look at them too and so...I went to play with the cat which was lurking around the place and it too, ignored me. Wa lau eh.
Next, we went to this smelly hotel that survived the earthquake or something before proceeding to Wen Wu Temple. Apparently, you can have a good view of the Sun Moon Lake from the top of this temple but I was just too lazy to climb all the way up to do so.
Our tour group haolianed to us that his name's engraved on this slab because he donated money to the temple for reconstruction purposes. Erm...okaaaaaay.
For some unknown reason, I did not take a single photo of the food we ate on this day. Must had been quite unappetising I guess. Can't remember what I ate anyway so I shall continue blogging about the places of attractions we went to. Next we went to the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village which was basically an amusement park with a cultural touch.
Being the chicken that I am, I didn't take any of the exciting rides because I didn't want to get myself killed...whether of a heart attack or because I got thrown off the ride or something. My sister on the other hand, tried all the crazy rides. -_- I can't believe that we're actually related...

This is the tian lu which supposedly protected the smelly hotel I mentioned above during the earthquake. The tour guide was trying to convince us the wonders of tian lu because I guess he gets a fat commission if we buy tian lus from the place that he brought us to next.
On the way to the Feng Jia Night Market, we stopped at a few stores that sold betel nuts...because the tour guide wanted to show us Bin Lang Xi Shi, betel nuts girls, or just simply girls who wear very little to sell betel nuts. Managed to get one to board our bus but she had a cant-be-bothered-dont-waste-my-time attitude the whole time...even though we bought something from her. Service in Taiwan sucks seriously. The only polite/nice salesgirl that I saw in Taiwan was from the Kaohsiung Kinokuniya branch.
Reached Feng Jia Night Market and I totally HATED that place. Too many people, similar stuff being sold and the worst thing was that cars and motorcycles drove behind people as if they wanted to kiss them or something...freaking close can...and they don't bother to horn you but just wait for you to realise their presence with a big shock. Urrgh...bah.
Anyway, end of Day 5. More pictures here: http://mizu-kioku.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=113
