SUPERmarkets...

The supermarkets in Taipei make me super happy.

Sweatin' it off...

I finally went to the gym with the hubby tonight after [his] work. Since I did not have any workout clothes or shoes, I opted for the sauna instead. Somehow, I think as long as I sweat, it is considered a workout. I hope I shaved off some calories from my spaghetti lunch. I am in desperate need of a Yoga class.

Hello, Panda.

Look what I found at the Costco in Taipei today:


A ginormous box of Hello Pandas. Everything jumbo size appeals to me. While crossing the street to get to Costco, we saw a strange crosswalk light:


WTF. How are we supposed to see the light when it is facing the pole? I'm going to have to tell the Taipei city mayor about this. After Costco, we traveled to a famous Sushi place nearby and had this for dinner:



It was a funtastic Sunday.

Foot Fetish

What I love about Taipei is how convenient and cheap everything is. I have a thing for foot massages and lucky for me, they are everywhere AND they are cheap! It's a perfect way to end the night after a long day of walking and eating ... and watching Resident Evil 3 in 3D with my cousin and his wife.

Grandpa Hammy

My grandpa enjoying some sushi at the Taipei 101 food court. I found it amusing for some reason.

i miss Shady

We passed by a huge Tod's ad a few days ago and it reminded us of Shady. At the same time we were taking a photo, a lady walked in with a yorkie and said that her yorkie looked just like the one in the ad. It so did not. Shady looked a lot more like it!

Fat Hammy

I haven't been very good about posting since my return to Taipei. I've been too busy eating. Hammy is a true ham. Me eating a peking duck burrito at a restaurant in the Westin Hotel. MmmMmm good...

Made in Taiwan...

It's been awhile since I last posted...I feel like a stranger! After the BFF's wedding, I managed to pack quickly and jet back to my motherland. 'Twas great to reunite with the hubby, but definitely takes some time to get used to. I've been back for 4 days, but it feels like I've done so much already. So far, I have:

1) Looked for apartments with the hubby - my main purpose of this trip. The apartments here are so tiny and expensive. They are too small, even for Shady.

2) Watched Pirahna 3D. It was ridiculously hilarious. LOTS of boobies and blood. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 75% - I highly recommend it.

3) Ate so much one night that my stomach got upset and decided to diarrhea on me. I was in so much pain and seriously almost shat in my pants. The hubby had to drive me to my dad's office so that I could release all the crap I ate.

4) Started a food blog for all the food I ate, and will eat in Taiwan. The hubby will be a guest blogger when he wants to be.

5) Encountered a gecko(?) at my parent's place. Apparently, they eat mosquitoes so we left him alone. Somewhat disturbing.
