Happy Birthday Peter! Here he is, wolfing down his birthday burger. Incidentally he washed it down with 5 glasses of Fanta Orange in a bid to beat my record* (* my coworkers and I eat at Chillis a lot over lunch and because drinks are free refills we always joke about drinking as much as we can - our record has been 4 glasses)Seriously, I wouldn't drink that many Fanta Orange... Sprite perhaps *wink*
Peter and I arranged to go hike up 7Stars mountain at Yangminshan but it looked like rain, so we decided not to chance it.
Peter suggested visiting this place for views of the sun set - Dadaocheng 大稻埕 translated literally into "big rice-drying field". Off Wikipedia, this is an area of historial importance as an important trading port in the 19th century - particularly with tea exports. It's a nice trail alongside the Danshui River, people biking/walking/jogging along the banks. And when the sun started to set over the other bank beyond Shilin...
Simply gorgeous view of the sunset... More pix here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/8062670@N07/sets/72157606031769473/
Oh and I caught Sex and the City with Ghee Hwee and Amanda. It was funny, but also brought back memories of Hon. We used to watch with a bunch of friends in the early years over lots of booze... Those earlier truly fun filled hedonistic days of old.
