Where Are We Going Sis? (姐姐去哪?): Day 7: Fun in Taichung

Good morning Taichung! :)

Breakfast at Hotel One.
















I thought it was lotus leaf rice. It turned out to be yam & ginko nuts. *.*

















Didn't really like the porridge as it tasted weird...















I was hopping to see mushrooms & hams in the omelette... :(















Best out of what I eaten this morning. :)
















We only had two days in Taichung and we wasted no time in exploring this city. :) 

First stop: Rainbow village (彩虹村). There are 3-4 small houses in this tiny village. They were given to war veterans for their service. One of the veterans is Grandpa Huang, who used his pension from the government to paint the murals. Petition by the local community secured temporary preservation for it.






















Cute Ukulele...Time for merry making. :)))
