Two eating engagement s with elementary classmates (2)/ Charles Chuang
Two eating engagement s with elementary classmates (2)/ Charles Chuang
At the dinner with Huiwen, I heard that Yimei from Los Angeles was in Taipei
And I like very much to see her. The class head said if I would come to lunch with
them on Friday then I could see her. Actually she was not there. I went to
shopping with these ladies after the lunch. I believed that was on East Nanking
Road many high rise buildings. They stopped at a familiar leather shoes shop.
One lady relator with us from Houston purchased a pair of red leather shoes for
US$17. They encouraged me to purchase some items on sale. I bought two pairs
of leather sandal which I thought I could put into use at Waikiki on my way back
to Houston. June Mer, the class head, asked me be silent in order for her to
negotiate some more. Another classmate, Pingju, was against it because the
price was reasonable low.
I would like to purchase a leather belt without any success, then we arrived at an
old rice liquor factory, Hwasan factory, which was famous for the red rice liquor
in the old day. I was fond of the site tour, therefore, I parted with those ladies.
This site has become an art center where many famous artists own their stores
on site. There was a festival going on that afternoon full of visitors. It has been
listed as a historical site under the governmental protection.
I would like to show some lists of food price in Taipei for your reference:
A full plate of delicious food at a restaurant with coffee afterward costs
US$10, vegetarian plate $7. I ate at a street food stand for a bowl of noodle
US$2, salty bean coud soup less than US$1; US$4 for a plate of food at a
cafeteria. A big queva fruit is 70 cents.
