December 28, 2010 – Eternal Spring Shrine, Taroko Gorge, Taiwan
We were only given a flashlight to use for the trail and we were on our own. The cave of Eternal Spring Shrine is just a few meters but it was really dark and we really hear the drops of water on our heads and its flow from end to end of the cave shrine carved into the mountain rock.

December 26, 2010 – Modern Toilet, Taipei, Taiwan
Our first meal in Taiwan was in Modern Toilet. Yes. It’s Toilet but a Restaurant.
Modern Toilet is a casual restaurant in Ximending. Everything in it is designed like you’re eating in a toilet (minus the you-know-what-i-mean smell, hahahaha!). The table is a bathtub, chair is a real toilet bowl and you have a shower hanging on the wall. The tea cup is a mini toilet bowl and even the plate of your viand. You have a rice bowl cover shaped like a real poop (hahaha!). You’re going to eat your poop ice cream. (hahaha!).
I had a poop stuck around my straw.
Above is a bathroom sink. It was a toilet bowl but it really was a bathroom sink. It had a faucet. When I looked down to check the water in it, I feel I was about to sit on it to have a poop. My mind didn’t accept the creative idea. Hahaha! Geesh. But it was really cool and funny. I was just not used to the design. I loved it!

April 20, 2010 – Daejeon, South Korea
It’s 2am and we had not eaten our dinner yet. We ordered our first meal in a laid-back eatery.
I was adjusting myself to the new language I heard from the television when a lady knelt at the corner of our low-leveled dining table. I was overwhelmed with the number of bowls she was putting on the table.
Korean table setting is also named as Ban-sang setting and it is composed of a rice bowl alongside with side dishes. Table setting depends on whether a noodle dish or meat is to be served. It is also determined by the number of side dishes and there are 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 side dishes that can be served. We had 3 side dishes.
As customary, side dishes are shared among diners but rice and soup are served individually. Koreans, unlike other chopsticks citizens, use spoon more often. They eat rice with spoon while chopsticks are used for side dishes.
