Michelin

I missed the first street vendor recognized by the prestigious Michelin Guide (米其林一星小吃）in Singapore, but just tasted the famous Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice/noodles (油雞飯/麵 @ $100/$120 TWD， ～ 3-4 USD) in the food court of Taipei 101 building.

Lunch Near Taipei Botanical Garden.

Image
I had lunch with my old colleges of Board of Foreign Trade, and caught up with everyone's life and health issues.  I then toured the Taipei Botanical Garden.   The 15-acre Botanical Garden includes over 1,500 plant species and provides a lot of shades from the hot sun in 32c. I found out two buildings historical structures: a Qing Dynasty era Taiwan administration building relocated into the Garden and a herbarium, in the Garden which I did not notice when painting there many time at junior high.

Met My Croatia travelmate in suburb Sydney

Image
I finally managed to reunion with my travelmate who I toured Hvar Island in Croatia in 2015 on motorbikes，and we walked the Bicentennial Coastal Walk - Narrabeen Beach to Warriewood Beach, and parts of the Narrabeen Lagoon bush trail in the suburb of Sydney. It was overcast but I can image how pretty the views would be in a sunny day.  https://www.weekendnotes.com/narrabeen-lagoon-bush-trail-walk/ My friend pays $2000 rent for one-bed room apartment within 100 feet from the beach, while i stay in a hostel dorm bed in downtown at $28 per night. Cost of living is high in Sydney for all it has to offer. As another example, without. The beach parking cost Monday to Friday - $6 an hour or $10 all day Weekends - $26 all day.  I went back to city center to check out the china town. I waited 15 minutes in line to taste this popular freshly made puff and had Thai BBQ beef rice for dinner.
