Tainan Trip Day 1

it's very hard to book hotel during the new year period, so Kevin and I did a pre-new year trip instead.  2 nights at Tainan.  We stayed at 愛閣汽車旅館 Love House Motel, $1690 ntd per night big rooms with flat pannel TV, with jacuzzi, steam room, and a small TV in our bathroom.  the toiletry supply went beyond the basic, there were face wash, bath oil, even disinfectant.  snacks and drinks at the mini-bar were complimentary.  everyday we came back to the motel, they gave us herbal dried fruit and a deck of player cards.  breakfast was above average. excellent value. yes, i am recommending it.  

Now back to the trip.  the weather in Tainan was nice, so Kevin shaved his head to expose his scalp to sunlight.

in front of the city hall, Kevin sat on a dog.

on the way to the motel, we walked by a new year market.  they have a beer-drinking contest that Kevin almost participated in.

going out for dinner.  Kevin accentuated the sunset with the contour of his nicely shaven head.

we walked by a wine store downtown that sell fruity Belgium beer.  Kevin got a passion fruit lambic.  i got a tea lambic.  the beer was even served in the proper glass!

then we have pizza served by a block of cheese.

they have a brick oven and make the pizza fresh from scratch.

we enjoyed our food.  too bad they don't have a branch in Taipei...

on the way back we walked by a basketball court on top of a scooter parking lot.  it looked weirder than this picture shows.
