It's been absolutely boiling here today, the aftermath of Typhoon Kasko which is stuck over Taipei. We've done loads of walking again, having a good old explore. We went to see where N_M used to live, and the same old security guard was still at the gate, so he got a cheery wave! We've also seen the gym where he used to work.
We had a brilliant walk around "Fish Shop Street" where almost every shop sells tropical fish, plants, tanks and equipment. The prices are unbelievable compared to the UK. Mal if you're reading this it will make sense - 100 neons for $15 (£1.00)!!! They cost about £1.25 each at home! We saw some beautiful and unusual discus fish, two for about a fiver, we pay between £20 and £50 each at home! Guess who wants to import some??!!
I am struggling to eat I must admit. Being veggie is OK, but having a violent allergy to mushrooms isn't helpful as they seem to be in everything. Even though N_M can explain it in Cantonese, I still don't trust them not to have cooked my food with the mushrooms, then taken mine out. So tonight I thought I'd play safe with an egg salad. Haha! Here it is
At least half a jar of salad cream with some salad underneath, and I hate salad cream!Anyway everything is good, we're enjoying ourselves and making plans for the coming days...

Nice colourful pics there - pity you can't bring a few fish back with you; mind you the salad might have looked better in black and white!!!
First night of SCD last night - Digger Barnes came top of the leader board - yeah!!!
Brian Capron (the evil Richard Hillman of Corrie fame) went out - boo hoo.
Looking forward to the next episode of Travels of a Night_Panda.
