Lukang

Some of our students are doing a project for the Taichung City government,making a tourist brochure. So we went off to Lukang with them this afternoon. My pair are dealing with local food so Lukang was a great place, lots of local delicacies.We also went to the Lukang folk arts museum which is situated in an old dutch style residence. Walked through the alleys and overall it was a pleasant afternoon. On the way there Ciro and i were reminiscing about the first time we rode out there on bicycle..our first weekend here. Dylan was really great. He slept for the first hour or so and then he was so content to be looking at everything and he just loved the kids . At one point he was holing on to one of the boy's hands as he walked alongside Dylan's stroller...of course i missed that picture! Dylan gets into "no" moods at the moment, he repeats no, no , no and it sounds so cute!!...for now. Here are some pics from today.

Dylan fast asleep and oblivious to the attention.

Just liked the following pic..

The oldest house in Lukang.

Fascinating rice "cup cakes" a spoon of a certain kind of rice pressed into this 'mushroom' container and dipped in sesame or peanut. Didn't taste but looked very different. Apparently a special Lukang treat.

Tofu drying...in the middle of the living room floor of a house we walked past.

This old guy was so interesting. He spoke to the kids and answered their questions without getting impatient, he was making big steamers. Then he proceeded to hand out cigarettes to all the male teachers...




The road home, tired!
