I already had a good idea of the type I wanted and I actually ended up buying a pair of gucci's that I had tried on before when Eliza bought hers a month ago. The total came to about $175CAD which is pretty good for designer glasses with high quality lenses. Plus they checked my eyes for me too.
After the glasses we went for sushi lunch and then picked up Ashley. We didn't really have any plans so we just hung out. We went to Toys R Us and goofed around there for a while...
Next was food so we parked at Ali's parents place and went to one of the Taoyuan night markets. This particular night market is special to me because it's the first real authentic night I ever went to in my life back when I came to Taiwan in 2007. As we walked around I spotted familiar vendors so it was really cool that not much had changed in the past 3 years and it gave the place a "timeless" feel. There was even a video game vendor that we walked by and Ali said that him and Johan used to play video games there when they were kids!
We stopped at two places for lunch. The first was a deep fried stinky tofu place. The deep fried stinky tofu is a lot less stinky than when it's in a soup. This one was a tad bit too sadly but it came with some pickled cabbage and I enjoyed it overall.
Next we had some fried oyster omlette. It's a Taiwan specialty made from egg mixed with some diced greens with oysters folded into it with a pink semi-sweet sauce on top. I haven't had it since the first time I had it in 2007 and it was better than I remembered :) I'd order it again!
Thanks for the great day out guys! It was about time I went outside of the cave at home.
