This past weekend, I helped work on a mural. It’s going to be a map highlighting some of the historical houses in our neighborhood and will include pictures of the birds, flowers and trees indigenous to yangmingshan. We were only able to get the base coat down–it’s a long wall!–but it looks great already. When we started, I was skeptical of the green hue but after the paint dried, the color brightened and the surface became glossier.
As a treat, my ma took me to a restaurant so famous for its ground beef filled fried bun-like things that it only opens its doors for dinner. Like any other well-known and tasty eating spot in Taipei, the line goes out the door. In fact, if you are unsure of where to eat in Taipei, just go to any restaurant that is incredibly crowded. Anytime I see a small food stand with a line that snakes around the block, I unquestioningly step in line to see what they have to offer.
