Face my fears! It’s small. It’s stinky. It’s the infamous Taiwanese dish ChouTouFu Stinky Tofu! The dreaded stench (sorry if it’s aroma to you) effectively drew our attention to a small stall selling a deep-fried small serving version (TWD20).

A friend in (great) need! No signs was around to show the way to the nearest place of relief! At thrice the speed we hiked up minutes ago, we trodded down to Cable Car Station. It was the nearest place where the crowds were (so would the washroom be located there, we reckoned). Anyhow, sprinting downhill was that much easier! ;-) Read More →

Could we? :-( Read More →
