Wulai Trip with a Friend

 Over the weekend I took a half-day trip with my friend Tex who is visiting from the US!  He's much more into traveling around and knowing the history of Taiwan than I am, so I'm glad I got to go on an adventure with him~

We took a bus up to Wulai (I got motion sickness and a lady on the bus taught Tex how to press on the bit between the thumb and forefinger to help reduce it. My mom used to do that for me!) and went to a hot spring hotel to just soak in the tub!

Outfit of the day!

Taipei 101 Observatory

Living somewhere, it is often easy to overlook local attractions in search of more "exotic" fun elsewhere.  Taipei 101 is definitely one of those things for me!  Despite how easy it is to access, I have never been to the observatory on the 89th and 91st floors... until now!

Recent Snaps

 

After going to Kokorolia on Wednesday, we walked around the area before my friend had to go back to work and I met up with a new person I'd met through board game meetups.

We found a large pop-up shop for Kanahei's Small Animals (Pisuke and Usagi) who are just so cute!!  They had lots of goods at this shop, but I couldn't justify buying anything.  There were many tempting goods!!

Magic School Event at Kokorolia

Guess who went back to Kokorolia maid cafe again!!  And this time they have a Magic School event going on!  I "enrolled" and drew the card for the Gaia house~  That's the Earth themed one, so my "report card" is all earth themed.  There was also a water house and a fire house.

It is a cute and fun event, but in order to graduate and earn a prize, you need to clear many quests (called "taking credits") that will not be feasible for me in the time limit.  It can certainly get pricey to go too frequently!

However, this time I did get the Magic Set Meal because my friend treated me!!  So let's see what it contains.

A Maid Cafe with Decent Food?

 I don't believe I've written about the maid café I recently started going to.  It's called Kokorolia 心物語  and I've gone three times now!

The maids are chatty and will make you feel welcomed, so I really appreciate that!  The previous two times I went, I only ordered dessert, but this time I ordered a proper meal set.
