Bamboo rice. Savoury glutinous rice with ginko and mushroom. Tasted nice.


After our lunch at a local store we headed to the boarding area to take a romantic cruise in the lake. Along the cruise, the boatman which is actually the boss of the boat we are boarding does explain about the scenic spot in and around the lake. I did not get a word he is talking about as I am busy snapping and sitted at the outer side of the boat. Ok, lame excuse you may say. But I'm a banana after all. So it makes perfect sense if I do not understand a word he says but rather wasted I would say for not understanding.









Some stores nearby the Sun Moon Lake.


 Our next destination is Wen Wu Temple. It was pouring very heavily when we reached there. Both me and my sister could only walk till the sign which says Wen Wu Temple and we have to detour. Both of us are carrying the large camera, but both of us is only sharing an umbrella. Two of our umbrellas is already broke from all the heavy usage throughout the trip - probably because its a cheap umbrealla too.
