Going through the watermelon basket of Taiwan we had to stop at a road stall to munch on sticky juicy watermelon slices.
As a child I obstinately refused to put my mouth to watermelon but instead dedicated myself to remove all the seeds from the offerings with a knife. So I understood the reluctance of the kids to stuff themselves with the sticky stuff.
In Sansing (三星), being the green onion town we visited a green onion store where they even sold green onion ice-cream.
I opted for strawberry and as it was out of this world went for a second helping of chocolate flavor.
In Luódōng (羅東) we went to their famous sports park, and the whole of Luódōng (羅東) had the same idea. But this park is REALLY beautiful.
And practical. It offered tennis, basketball and baseball facilities to the sports enthusiast; cafés to the hungry and weary; a swimming pool; and children could feed Koi in the ponds.
We had a cappuccino and tiramisu.
While the cappuccino was great, the tiramisu was everything but, which proves that not all things Japanese are better. We’ll stick to the original Italian, thank you.
But overall, it was just a place where one could relax if so inclined. We even had the luxury of a saxophone player!
This park beat the Forest Park in Taipei by far.
But unfortunately we had to leave, and the traffic….
