Sakura Blossom Viewing and Weird Exhibitionist Tale

Yesterday Kamiko and I went to see sakura blossoms before it was set to rain and we got there just in time! Today is so rainy!  The place we went had both Japanese and Taiwanese sakura trees (the Japanese are a paler, milky pink, and the Taiwanese ones are a darker pink)

There was also a very large temple, 竹林山觀音寺 that we went to (no photos inside, sorry!)

Photo from across the little river.  The weather was beginning to turn!

We went to the park and walking path across a small river to take a walk and get photos.

Traditional style building

Nearby park with Formosan Black Bear!

 On our way back, I was taking a video of Kamiko for her and directly after we finished, we rounded a corner and ran into a older man with his pants down sitting by the riverside and taking a photo or video of himself O____O;;

Luckily, he didn't seem to be a flasher as he sort of jumped when he saw us, pulled up his pants, and quickly ran off. Awkward, but a bit hilarious as well?

Then we went to have a light, late lunch!

Overall, it was a very nice day!

What springtime activities do you like to do?  My friends in Minnesota have told me that it just snowed again O_Q  I hope it all goes away by the time I move there!!

Books ONLY March Meetup

March went by so fast!  We had our monthly meetup at the end of the month, on March 30 with the theme of Books Only!

The only book print I have is this Re Ci Pe for the Endless Dream skirt I got in a 2015/2016 lucky pack!  The way mine is gathered doesn't show the print properly, but Lolibrary link above has better photos of it ^_~

We went to a nice little cafe called Smith&Hsu which has a wide variety of tea with tea samples to smell to help you choose your tea!

Fragrant!

Afternoon Tea at 春日甜 Bistro Cafe

Happy Sunday everybody!  The weather has been cold and rainy recently T^T  But today I went out for a lovely afternoon tea with my friend Kamiko!  We went to 春日甜Bistro Cafe near 中山 Zhongshan Station.

It's pretty inside, and their desserts vary a little with the seasons!  This time, we got little piggy mouse desserts for Year of the Pig!

OP: BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT
3-Tier dessert: NT$1300 + 10% service charge

Overall it's a pretty nice place and there is a two-hour eating time limit, though if it is not crowded I don't think they will enforce that strictly.  The desserts are handmade in-house, and the kitchen (and bathroom) are in the basement floor, where we were seated.

This is pretty much going to be a food post.

Mintaiko mashed potato gratin (?) with egg on top: Virtually no mintaiko flavor, but otherwise OK
Cold soup: Slightly savory, slightly creamy, not much flavor

Forest Fruit Tea: Fragrant and good!  Free if you check-in on facebook

Matcha cake with red bean filling and raspberry(?) cream on top: Very good!
Blueberry milk jelly: Yummy!

Nuts chocolate cake I think?  Quite good!

Strawberry douhua (dessert tofu): A strange combo.  Not bad, but I'm not sure?
Passionfruit mousse pig: Tangy and good!
French gummy: Good soft texture, smooth, extremely sweet!  Drink tea!
Macaron with pearl: Close the macaron for 3-5 minutes for best flavor! Is yummy!  Pearl is white chocolate.

We were both wearing casual Lolita today and it was good because it was rainy!  The one-piece I am wearing is from this year's BTSSB Happy Pack that Laina picked up for me while she was in Japan!  The coat I wore is also from BABY.  I was a very pink Lolita today ^u^v

Cotton ONLY Lolita Meetup! Ft. kayz0rbeam!
