OK I woke up and didn't feel terrible today!! I still had a later start to the day though, by the time I finished blogging and stuff it was 11am.
So I got to Hamasen around 11:22am. Ahhhhh where do I start? I wandered over to the red bridge... And saw so many relics of the Port Station when it was in use.
I ended up going to the house that has the switches for the railway, one and only preserved one in Taiwan! It's not open today cause it's not a weekend, but they have signs outside.
On my way I also found some 含羞草！
and the rail car far on that side which, is a bakery called Horli. It was getting to lunch time so I kinda wanted to done... But old rail cars... And the air inside... No open window... I ended up not going inside.
On the way there I spotted banyan trees grown over old brick wall, this must be the old fence for the Kaohsiung Port. There was also a sign about an old shed for maintenance and repair of Kaohsiung Port, but it 2as demolished. You can see the remnants of the brick wall and the shape of the roof.
Then I was like... I haven't been back to the museum to see the third room though (it was closed yesterday for a meeting). So I walked my way back....!
I made it. And I bought the postcards which were actually matte finished with shiny embossed words on it. Fancy. $150 for a set of 5, and I stamped them all.
The third room had 3 video clips totalling about 20 mins. It was 1pm now and I was definitely hungry. I decided to finish this. One was a YouTuber explaining the history of the port city using Yokohama as a parallel.
The other two were videos made by the govt about the heritage and preservation.
Once done, I asked the staff where would be suitable for lunch? She advised to walk through the MRT so you won't need to cross the road, and then there will be an area with lots of new establishments. OK! Thank you.
I got through the MRT station and then was about to cross the road, when I spotted a Dandan Hamburger! And.... They have outdoor seats! YEAAAHHH!!
