Sunday. Torben is back to his normal routine of waking up at 5:30. I got up with him today, Tim slept until 7 and I went back to bed and got up around 10! Yunche called and asked if we wanted to go to Shabushabu (hotpot) so we quickly had ‘About Coffee’ coffee and then got on our way. Remarkable it was not that hot today. We got to the restaurant which happened to be next to this temple called Taintan Temple, which is the oldest temples in Taiwan. It was crazy. Since this is the Torben blog here is two pix of the monkey but if you want to see more, go to my flickr account. After the super cool temple we hit a different hotpot place. There was a sign on the door that said ‘no cameras’ or I’d have taken a picture. Everyone gets there own little pot of boiling broth (you get to select your broth flavor) then you go over and select your meat and they slice it up super thin...then you go and grab platefuls of seafood (clams, shrimp, squid, scallops...then a bunch of other unidentifiable seafood), and vegetables and dumplings and many different kinds of mushrooms...and many, many, many other things - take them back to your table and then you cook it all in your boiling pot of broth. It was enjoyable but like usual Torben was difficult to deal with because he hates to sit. Ryan, Yunche’s son is a year older and just sat there like an angel. My favorite part of the meal was feeding Torben a little ice cream. I gave him a bite and he had that usual disgusted look on his face, the look is ‘what the hell are you feeding me now?” and then the eyes got really big and looked straight at the bowl and then a big smile...it was hilarious. Go figure, he likes ice cream.
