There were also delicious beef noodles as well as store bought instant noodles that weren't too shabby.
Although I feel the Bar Beer was a bit of false advertising due to the distinct lack of other people over sharing awkward stories and numerous amounts of folks desperate for a shag that typically accompanies beer at a bar. Perhaps Kirin were hoping for a representation of taste more so than setting with this one.
Still though, saw plenty of the latter at a local bar we went to later that night called Brass Monkey. A bar that was currently celebrating Bastille day and was filled with expats and Taiwanese people in "French" berets.
There was an American army guy there who explained to me about a city in Thailand that was known as the sex capital of the world before then taking a (rather large) drink of his Kronenbourg and silently staring off into the distance.
All in all it was a decent night.
After I went home I ate some crackers and drank a little bit with this guy, who I picked up in a small vending machine.
Not bad for 60 NT
Earlier that day I also had the pleasure of finally trying some fairly famous Din Tai Fung dumplings.
I got my order to-go as the wait for a seat in the restaurant itself was an hour. They gave me a dimebag of ginger along with my food (I MADE AN ILLEGAL DRUG REFERENCE HERE (MARIJUANA) I AM NOW EDGY AND COOL).
They we kinda overpriced in my opinion. Didn't blow me away or anything, but perhaps I was not trying the right item.
To be honest I was more interested in the hello kitty cakes that were nearby.
They looked cute and tasty, and that goes a long way in my book.
The next day about 10 of us went to a famous rock festival outside of the city at fulong beach.
There were quite a lot of people.
Those last two pictures were just from the trip going there.
The whole weekend's attendance totaled at about 800,000 people I believe.
We started off by eating at a local restaurant. I ate some delicious sheep and noodle soup as well as some sort of melted rice dish which is pictured below.
Oh and there was an entire cooked pig just chillen on the side of the street.
Looks delicious.
NOW FOR PICTURES OF THE BEACH
Some incredibly packed waters.
Had a lot of fun playing in them.
A lot more fun after buying and consuming 5 beers for 100 NT (A little over 3 dollars American).
After swimming for several hours they closed the beach for clean up before dark....They sure had their work cut out for them.
Still kind of a pretty view
After a little while massive amounts of people started queuing up attempting to leave, or to find their way to the only bathroom within miles......(I ended up peeing behind some trashcans)
And there was this badass shirt.
please?
Now for some more beach
But with (what I'm assuming is) more deep-fried pot stickers.
Now for a close up
No but really that's as close as we could get. There was an amazing band playing that sounded a lot like this

Also this band

They were kinda meh.
After that I went home.
That's it.
That's all.
No cool ending, it is disappointing,
Just like real life,
unless you live in Taipei,
Which is an amazing place.
:D
