PIzza Rock Yonghe

I went to Pizza Rock today
They have a Yonghe branch, but originates from Taizhong
Omg, they offer local beer
They have many kinds of pizza, with 2 sizes
I had the 2 local beer they offered
Both were very bitter
And a hawaii with extra cheese, but it didnt taste any special, a little bit like the other restaurant in taiwan
I manage to fit the price almost equaly divided by 220nt, the staff commented that it was special

A quick visit to Zoca Pizzeria

I met an old friend today...at Zoca Pizzeria
It was prrtty good...
I had an hawaii...it reminded me of La lupa a little bit, it was cheaper but not as much cheese...

A trip to Taidong

I did some interrailing this weekend...
Started by taking the MRT to Taipei city...and aw this disco-wheel chair...
Omg...the toilet flush sensors were sometimes put upside down in the toilet...welcome to a "never 100% country"...
Strange sign...looks like a face...
I spent the first part sitting on the floor...
Omg...in Hualian I found a Amei- store...
"Saopu Stonehenge"...I wanna go there...!
I paid a wuick visist to this place...it was close to the trainstation...
They had "deep water beer"...interesting...
And an aboriginal waitress...maybe AMai tribe...
The trip continued in early morning...
I could see the new rail way...
And the mountains never ending...
After some time I came to taidong...and observed many red flowers on the trees...
And uncle Pete s Pizzeria to be closed as usual....
I also passed by the book store...where people read books, instead of buying them...
And they recently opened a ned pizza hous called "Big Ö"...but minimum charege was 350nt per person...not usful when you just look for some snack...
Plan B was this burgerbar...last time I Was here it was closed...
It looked prettymuch like any other burgerbar in Taiwan...USA 1959-influenced...
Johnny also had a system camera...he was currently hosting his polish friend...
I wanted a beef burger...but accidentally marked chichen burger...
Noooo!, it was suppose to be a "huge burger", but the only thing that was big was the bread...then it was fille with smal pieves of meat...just as the burger store in Shilin I visited some years ago...
Well...since the peices fell out when trying to eat with my hands...the bottom bread layer was left when the burger was done...what a pity...(.it was a big bread with 4 peices of chicken separated to cover the bread)...
After this I passed by a sweet potato chips place...
And some hotel that closed...
It was said to affect the corals...
Over there...I should be able to see Green island...some 35km away...
But not its a ghost house...
I also met a super funny Amet guy...in this car...I sang some Amet music that I heard...he seemed to like it...
Next stop was some bridge in 8 parts...
Conecting Taiwan to a smaller island...
It was especially forbidden to defraud people here...su strange...(why just here)...
HEre is the brideg...
"Sansiantai island"...
And some cluffs reminding me of that its a vulcano island...
I like the east coast..and that they offer small sites for people to visit...and its pretty concentrated to Road 11 or road 9...
Many steps to walk...it was not until I reached the bridge that the wind came...it was a sweaty walk...
Hualian is there somewhere far away...
I saw that they had a light ouse here somewhere...
Omg...after beeign out in the sun, and missing a spot with sunblock or clothes...I needed to suffer with pain...
Burning myself on random places...
Reality chech, am i really at the east coast? -Yep...no helmet...
Yep!...
Nice sunset...
Next stop was Uncle Pete´s pizzeria...
I ordered some Mosambique pizza...it was as close to hawaii pizza that they had...
And i also got sauce...
Omg...there was a Motor bike festical here..so many motorbikes...(monkey bars equiped Harley davidson´s etc were here)...
Even the host "pete" was entertaining the guests with guitar playing...
I got best friend with this old lady...
I think its my 5th time to pass by, and now, after 3-4 years its was finally open when I came...
A big crew was baking...
They had some shelf for already made pizzas...
And surfing boards as decoration...
The locals wanted to go to a japanese resturant...so this was the next stop...
But they seemed to be out of many things...
By some strange reason, I got a huge glas of saké...the others got warm sake in small shot glasses...strange...
We alter on visited some Motorbike expo...
Many clubs from all around taiwan was represented....
Pretty cool...especally when they were cruising on road 11...along the coastline...
Omg...I also saw this transformer car...so cute...
And a vespa...original italian...might have been only for decoration..
And some tree house in the middle of nowhere...
I made sure to get som local frui before I took offf...
I was forced to take the slow train...so I spent some half day enjoying the view of eastern taiwan...
And observed that the warning signs for construction workers had some thai language on them...maybe thais come here to work...
I ended the trip by seeing an "H&M" bad in the MRT...omg has H&M finally opened in taiwan!?!?! congrats!

A daytrip to nanjin east road...

I started the day by a short visit to Muzha in south of taipei...
I used the free wifi that the city offers...
It was a cloudy day...

And my friend is working here...atleast I try to be his friend...
Seems like he was working here by himself today...not sure where the older guy is...
He also seemed to be best friend with the tea store on the other side of the street...he just waived with his hand....and they came with more tea...
Shit...super good pizza this time...some mushroom paste...
I later went 20 minutes west...to pick up a friend...

Some pilsner...super good...
After a short ikea visit where I bought Stockholm beer...
We bought some cinnamon buns...
Never bought it here at ikea before...
More baseball photos...many people stopped to watch...
At taipei min station I saw many runners...or atleast they had runner bags...maybe they just did Hualien marathon...

Alot of decoration...and music from "tim burtons nightmare before christmas"...
Wow, a non coloured beer bottle...havnt seen that earlier here...

Visiting Le Rouge

I met a foreigner at costco some week ago and asked him where his favorite resturant was...

Yesterday I vistied the retaurant he recommended...an italian and french restaurant near banqiao...

With nice paintings...
It looked really professional...
They even served snacks while waiting...
And i got Focaccia woth olive oil, just like the one i use to make, but with less salt...(as most things here in taiwan...)
It was many small dishes...like asparagus in garlic...
Pasta...
PIzza, A hawaii that they called Aloha...
And dessert...a little dry but still ok...
Later I also drank my last beer that I bought from hsinchu some week ago...tasted like the one i brewed n bali (taipei), flower character...

A small trip to the city...

I went to taipei downtown...

To eat pizza at shida...

The waitress was smiling...I asked if she was taiwanese or not...since many waitresses here dont smile...she said she wasnt...just as I thought she was from vietnam...

I had a ful set of things...

And a hawaii pizza...that was pretty good...

I continued to nanjing eat road. where many people gathered...

And I helped a friend to buy things at ikea...

A night in Taipei, with the Swedish chamber of commerce...

We were supose to go to taipei, for a After work with the swedish chamber of commerce...
We were a little late, plus waiting for others...so we fixed phone cards for of the swedes...
Then we were stuck in traffic for some hour...
Fixing MRT cards (just charging the student card)...
This is the place...Alleycat´s in Tienmu, Taipei..
5 people were there before us...and we were almost 12, so it was a big add...of people...
I had some seafood pizza...it was good...
And their own Amber ale...i think...

We went for a quick beer in Ximen...
Before some went home...and these guys went to club, one of them borrowed my spare pants, to be able to enter the club...
I found, that the latest bus leaving today was 01.30...later than last time...
In the bus, the AC is always on, and you cannot shut the flow off...so I used tape to hinder it...
