Sunny messaged me at 8am one morning and asked if Sabrina and I wanted to see something cool. Two hours later, we were at the base of this incredibly happy Buddha. It was part of an enormous complex we weren’t able to enter.
Two:
After giant happy Buddha, we went to a traditional Hakka tea house. For the snack, we had to grind up sesame seeds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, and green tea until it was a thick paste.
Three:
The paste was then served in bowls with hot water and rice puffs. It was unlike anything I’d ever tasted, which is saying something. Sabrina and I both really liked it.
Four:
Accompanying the snack was rose tea.
Five:
The small shop offered a number of different teas and snacks made in the area.
Six:
On a handmade sign, a snake.
Seven:
We left the tea house and walked to a temple. Once again, there were building-less doors scattered around. I don’t know what it is about Taiwan, but there are a lot of interesting looking doors discarded everywhere.
Eight:
A shop near the temple.
Nine:
Later, in Neiwan, Sabrina met ET.
Ten:
Small potpourri pots – pour scented oil into the narrow mouth, then roll the ball trapped inside to release the scent. It’s a pretty cool idea.
No time for regrets 
lol.. I so wasn’t expecting ET! The photo of the potpourri pots looks really tranquil. ^^
In that little area, there’s ET and an 8′ tall King Kong. Spiderman’s hanging around there, too, on one of the walls. It’s a quirky little place 🙂
