You are not in Kansas anymore Day 27

Shaved ice - Summer in Taipei can be unbearable! Due to tall buildings located very near to each other, the city is a heat sink. And in the mid-summer, temperature can soar as high as 37degC! Thus, shaved ice is a hot item in the summer! I went to Kangxi Road today to shop for some gifts for Hannah. There is a famous shop there that sells the most expensive shaved ice in Taipei. The mango sorbet shaved ice cost NT180 (NZD 6). It is a huge bowl of very finely shaved ice, with fresh mangoes around it, topped with  mango sorbet. The queue was about 15mins long. I was very reluctant to join the queue in the hot sun in the first place, but I was thinking to myself "What the hell, I am a tourist.." So I joined the long line of people in the hot sun, and after 15mins, I finally got my famous mango shave ice.
