Our Taiwanese friends brought Bing and I to the wonderful place of Yilan（宜兰）. Bing and I were lucky to have arrived at the railway station on time, because I had woken up really late in the morning (it took me only half an hour to teleport myself from my bed to the train seat). We traveled on train to Luodong（罗东）, where our minsu（民宿) is. The family management had been amicable, and they drove us around Yilan. The places that we had visited include the National Center for Traditional Arts(国立传统艺术中心）and the Luodong Scenic Park（罗东运动公园）. We ate traditional snacks and played childhood games, and had seen mandarin ducks and migratory birds. There had been a constant drizzle though, and the winter breeze proved a bit much for my tropical skin to bear. Nonetheless, the afternoon had been enjoyable, and both Bing and I are very thankful to our Taiwanese friends for bringing us around amid their busy schedules (some are still having their mid-terms this week).
We went to the Luodong Night Market（罗东夜市） in the evening, and had mutton noodles for dinner. Later at night, we played with crackers and fireworks! I had never played them before in Singapore, so it was a novelty for me to try them out. Sparks of light brightened our dark neighbourhood, and we had created some noise pollution by our mini-explosions. Very fun!
