recommendations

how about me recommending the hotel that i stayed in when i was training in taiwan about a year ago. it's "crystal hotel" and it's located right beside huaxi jie1(huaxi street for fajoo). huaxi jie for those who do not know, used to be one of the more popular red light district( but that's not the most important point). it has now turned into a bustling night market selling lots of exotic meat( definitely not what you are thinking situ) such as crocodile and snakes and some others that i can remember. i remember i had one shot of snake wine in the one of the restaurants along the street and vividly tasting the snake meat and i remember i saw a python shitting. ahahaha.

and if you wanna buy some s*x toys(probably as gifts if u think u can bring them back), they are up for grabs at the many many sex shops there too. my group of friends were actually pulled into a sleazy shop where they showed us pictures of girls and asked us to choose and name a price but i was quick enough to escape because most of the females in the pictures look old enough to be our mums(though some are not bad). okay actually although what i said in front are all true, they are merely distractions. since i m such a food lover i m definitely gonna talk about the food there. i cant rememeber whether its along the same street but i know its in the same area where they had a street full of roadside hawkers. i had a wonderful time trying all sorts of food over there. the cakes made of pig blood, the oyster mee sua which is different from our singapore shih lin store, the barbecued squids, the smelly tofus, the different local noodles over there. awesome i tell you. okay i think its along the same street cos i remember after we finished our fried oyster then we got approached.

back to the hotel, its 2 or 3 mrt stops from xi men ding which is shopping heaven. if u watch enough taiwan shows, u will definitely know the place. crystal is quite a budget hotel though it was definitely a comfortable stay there. things i dun like included the tainted(am i right?) glass toilet without any lock. so you can probably look at each other silhoutte while you are lying on ur bed and ur roommate is bathing. if you feel the urge, u can always run into the showers since there is no lock on the glass door. sounds great??

and please go visit lava club. totally rocks.
