Taichung Day 16

 Just travelling back to Taichung today. In the morning I had some of Aduan's bread, gosh it is so yummy. The more you chew, the more flavourful it becomes. Yima has some too. She had a lot lol. Smells real good. I tidied up my luggage for a bit, and then went to the post office to send off Lake's artbook. But the post office doesn't sell bubble envelopes.... despite the website saying they do (outdated?). the lady said the stationery store next door does, but they weren't open yet. Google maps to the rescue, there's another one near about 6 mins walk away. When I arrived, the lady was very helpful, and got me what I needed straight away. $18 for a bubble envelope. Then I went back to the post office and they sent it as a printed material, only $138. So cheap! To Mexico too. 

Then I went home and watched an ep of Frieren, and about time for lunch. Yima went out to get the Korean jajangmian. Ohh this shop does it really nice, not too overly heavy and quite aromatic without the onions/garlics being overpowering. I had one of those green large mandarins after. Then finished my Gungun Gurt. 

Packed up the rest of my luggage, and sat and talked with Yima a wee bit. Then got ready to go. Man I'm sad. Wish I could stay longer. 

Called 55688 to take me to Wangfang, the taxi driver was really nice. $115. Then MRT to Taipei Main Station. This is when it gets really weird cause the exit says this way, but the elevator takes you elsewhere. It's so confusing. And at some places there's no elevator??? And just an escalator even though the arrow says this way to go to the Bus transfer station. Then when I finally got to the transfer station, it has 3 floors. Kuokuang is on 2F, and I just assumed there was only 2F but there was 3. Since I arrived at 3:15pm, and the bus departs at 3:20pm, I was in a hurry... thankfully I made it. I got into the elevator and the other people just pressed the button and I assumed they were going upstairs... to 2F. But they went to 3F. Soooo confusing.

Phew, the bus I got on is nice and new and there isn't many people. I fell asleep for about an hour. 二叔 came to pick me up and was waiting at the Kuokuang Chaoma Station.

We also went to pick up my rice from 四叔's shop and parents stuff too. Then went home. For dinner 二叔 and I went around Fengjia and ate from the stalls. One was takoyaki stall, one was steak stall, and one was friend chicken stall. The frychook was a bit heavy and greasy, so wasn't a huge fan. Flavour good though, but the heaviness really ruins most of it. Had papaya milk for dessert. Then bought bread for breakfast from FM station. I found 木材麵包!! And of course my lemon cake. There was a bun using the Hsinchu peanut butter so I decided to try some.

Went home, tried to figure out luggage, really stressed cause I don't think I can fit them all... tried looking at posting all the figure stuff but with volumetric weight, it comes up to 8kgs, which would be about $1840, and buying an extra bag would be $120 NZD. Sooooo.... not really worth it.

Took a shower and bed. We can tetris again tomorrow.
