| Solo hike up 茶壺山 Teapot Mtn |
 |
Almond tofu pudding with black sesame sauce afterwards in 九份老街 Shifen Old Street
(always overpacked with tourists and drizzly weather) |
 |
| Attending an exclusive tea tasting party...my favorite part was the unlimited homemade vegan ice cream |
 |
| Swimming, acro, and beach volleyball at 萬里 Wanli Beach for a friend's birthday on Tomb Sweeping Holiday (like Memorial Day in that it’s a random Monday off right when the weather is good enough for the beach, but not like Memorial Day in that it’s when male relatives all go to care for their ancestor’s graves) |
 |
| My first ever Passover Seder! Kosher lamb shanks not available in Taipei hence the large carrot. A few very fun Jewish friends were hosting; the traditions called for drinking four full glasses of red wine, playing hide-and-seek for a hidden matzah, singing while pounding the table and playing bongos. |
My friend took me on a night hike to 老地方 which just happened to overlook 大甲 park where an EDM festival was taking place, right as we were summiting the Chainsmokers performed their hit Closer
