Night at the Movies and Afternoon with Family

Steve and I finally went to see a movie at the theaters across the street! It only cost $110NT for two tickets. After the kids went to bed we walked across the street to watch the Social Network. It was a great movie. We especially enjoyed all the Stanford and Palo Alto references.

It was another beautiful sunny day in Taichung, which makes me believe this is certainly the best city to be residing in on the island. After taking Steve to the bus station (he is going to Idaho for a business trip) we strolled through the Sunrise shopping center and found a beautiful dress for Steve's mom to wear to Jasmin's engagement party. We were also able to partake of Moss Burger for the first time (it was yummy) and to enjoy the English magazines in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Express. The Express is brand new and very nice. There was a young singer in the restaurant area who played soulful indie sounding ballads accompanied by acoustic guitar --in English.

Lastly, there is an ice cream treat from a place called 美方 that I am absolutely addicted to. It's like ice-cream but thick enough to be molded into small rectangles and with distinctive flavors such as taro, green bean, peanut, red bean, and passion fruit. It is kind of the consistency of a thick popsicle that is all flavor.
I will definitely be eating as much as I can of this while I am still here in Taichung.
