Taiwan research trip June 2013 - Weekend off

Had the weekend off. With strong recommendations from Taiwan colleagues, I decided to avoid the heat (it's 34 deg C today!), and went shopping in the Taipei MRT Station Underground Mall. It is a huge 2/ 3 -level underground mall that spans about 2 MRT stations (about 4 blocks). Bought some gifts for Hannah, and some other friends and colleagues back in NZ. Unfortunately, it is meant to be a surprise, thus, I cannot reveal what I bought! :) I will post another pic of the presents when I am back in NZ.

Lunch -
Formosa Chang set lunch
Rice, pork chop, vegetables, picked vegetables, egg
Cost NZD 3.75 (NT 75)

 Dinner -
BBQ beef noodle soup
Cost NZD 4.75 (NT 95)
I am trying to pluck up enough courage to eat the duck blood rice/ noodle! Smells weird!
