| Supposedly,
they make the best coffee; even better than Starbucks. I found the
prices to be surprisingly high. Great coffee means high prices. I
ordered a vanilla Lavanza while my aunt ordered a mocha flavored Lavanza.
They took their time in making the coffee and when they were finally
done, I tasted the coffee and found it to be made very well. It was
creamy and perked me up right away. They really do know how to make
a good coffee. Our coffee break over, we went and met Uncle Huei and the kids at the toy store. Naturally, the kids were in awe of all the toys there and they wanted everything. However, like parents usually are, my aunt and uncle refused to buy them anything. They were particularly enthralled with the toy penguins that go up a motorized staircase and slides their way down to the bottom to go up the staircase all over again. Uncle Huei decided that he and the kids were going to go back to the apartment. My aunt asked if I wanted to watch a movie and I thought that it would be fun to watch a movie in Taiwan. We went to the multiplex downstairs and waited in line to buy tickets. I found it funny the way they sell tickets in Taiwan. They actually assign seats and ask you if you want to listen to the packages they offer. We bought tickets to watch the Bourne Identity. The theater was relatively small compared to American theaters, and there were not that many people inside. After finding our seats, we waited for the movie to start which didn’t take very long. |
Like in America, there are commercials
and previews in the beginning. The movie was very entertaining.
I found the sound system to be especially loud which made the movie
going experience much better. During the movie, I had to go to the
toilet. My aunt seemed to be very squeamish and had to cover her
eyes a few times; overall, a very good movie. |
