This must be THE season to Taiwan. Other than five friends from my department (read about their trip here, here and here), there were also a few others who went too (read about one of them here). I was supposed to join them for the trip. Unfortunately, I had to postpone the trip as my girlfriend who really wanted to go couldn't make it, as her best friend whom she really wanted to go with couldn't make it (that's a mouthful of reason!). Besides, last week was the important "presentations week" in school.
But no worries, look what they got me for souvenirs! TADA!
The nice red lantern ornament, for mobile phones, from Jax!
In the center, that's the test tube from my shy neighbour. Inside, is a whiff of air from Taiwan and an environmentally friendly GREEN bookmark from 淡水. Why I think it's green? Cuz on the front it says, "航向下一个绿色岛屿" (Sail to the next green island).
For a moment I thought of a wonderful vision of going GREEN and mistaken that it was from YeeYee, the GO-GREEN-Evangelist!
And finally, the real souvenir from YeeYee is a bottle of 虎标万金油... or rather a look-alike. So duh to give me a bottle of medicated oil!
But on closer examination, it is actually 唬标万金有, the spoof! In fact, it is a bottle of sweets!
Once again, thank you for the souvenirs! The only regret, no 太阳饼 for me!!! Go Taiwan without bringing that back is like not going Taiwan at all... hah. I was told they had bought back some, but was finished on the first day, while I was away from office. =( Anyway after reading about their trips, it inspired me to complete my entries on TOML and my holiday to China. I shall do it after the exams! So stay tuned!
