We reached the harbor yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Nous sommes arriv\u00e9s au port hier apr\u00e8s-midi.<\/em><\/p>\n

After receiving the authorization to leave the ship, we decided with Jing-Kang, Liwen, Howard, Jyun-Nai, Eason, Yi-Wei, Sudipta and Theresa to go in town in order to play badminton. After having a look on Internet to find a place where to play and after giving phone calls to taxis to pick us up, here we are: on the road again! We played during almost one hour and it was fun! And I can assure you that playing badminton in inside doors in Taiwan when the temperature outside is of 31\u00b0C (and even more!) well… how to say… it just keeps you warm! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir re\u00e7u l’autorisation de quitter le bateau, nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 avec Jing-Kang, Liwen, Howard, Jyun-Nai, Eason, Yi-Wei, Sudipta et Theresa d’aller en ville afin de faire du badminton. Apr\u00e8s avoir regard\u00e9 sur Internet un endroit o\u00f9 jouer et apr\u00e8s avoir t\u00e9l\u00e9phon\u00e9 aux taxis pour venir nous chercher au port, nous voici enfin sur la route menant au bad ! Nous avons jou\u00e9 pendant environ une heure et c’\u00e9tait super ! Et je peux vous assurer une chose, jouer au badminton \u00e0 Ta\u00efwan dans une salle couverte alors que la temp\u00e9rature ext\u00e9rieure est de 31\u00b0C (voire plus !) et bien… comment vous dire… \u00e7a vous garde au chaud !<\/em><\/p>\n

After badminton, we went to a Korean restaurant. That was delicious! I’ve never eaten so many different food in such a little time. As appetizers, we ate a kimchi salad (vegetables with chili) and a mixture of jellyfish “nuddles” and vegetables. That was really good too! For the main meal however I was more classical and ate rice with beef and vegetables (soja, seaweed and other ones but I forgot the names…). Anyway, all the food was delicious! And to perfectly end this evening, as we were in the same street that the best almond tofu shaved ice restaurant we decided to go there for our dessert. It was our destiny! I took mine with chocolate and condensed milk: just amazing! (no, no, I am not a gourmand person… not at all! \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s le badminton, nous sommes all\u00e9s manger dans un restaurant cor\u00e9en. C’\u00e9tait d\u00e9licieux ! Je n’ai jamais mang\u00e9 autant de mets diff\u00e9rents et aussi bon en si peu de temps. En entr\u00e9e, nous avons mang\u00e9 du “Kimchi” (salade de l\u00e9gumes piment\u00e9s) puis une sorte de nuddle de m\u00e9duse… oui, oui, de m\u00e9duse !\u00a0 C’\u00e9tait \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s bon. Comme plat principal, j’ai pris du riz avec du b\u0153uf accompagn\u00e9 de l\u00e9gumes (soja, algues, et d’autres encore dont j’ai oubli\u00e9 le nom). Tout ceci \u00e9tait d\u00e9licieux ! Et pour finir la soir\u00e9e de mani\u00e8re parfaite, nous nous sommes arr\u00eat\u00e9s dans le restaurant d’\u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 afin de d\u00e9guster l’une des meilleures glaces pil\u00e9es de tofu \u00e0 l’amande de la ville. La mienne \u00e9tait couverte de chocolat et de lait concentr\u00e9 : une pure merveille ! (non, non, je ne suis pas gourmande, d\u00e9trompez-vous ! \ud83d\ude09 )<\/em><\/p>\n

As for today some of us went down town, to Anping (oldest part of Tainan), where the best jelly bean dessert can be tasted and savored. I was there and I tried some! Thanks Francis for showing us the place and offering one to us! \ud83d\ude42 For lunchtime we had nice meals as well: rice cooked in bamboo sticks, fried mushrooms (lecker!), nuddles and many other small ones. We also had an entire chicken and when I say an entire chicken I really meet a whole chicken. Even the feet were eatable! Howard ate one (normal, he’s Taiwanese) and Theresa tried a bit of the second one. So brave! She was our hero! \ud83d\ude09 Then, we went to Guan Zi Lang, a town located more in the countryside of Taiwan. We saw there “Suei-ho-tong-yuan” everlasting fire which means in Chinese “water and fire in the same place”. Impressive and really beautiful The flammes result from the combution of natural gas, mainly composed of methane (at ~90%), exhaling from the pond. Even during rainy weather the flammes don’t stop burning.<\/p>\n

Quant \u00e0 aujourd’hui, certains d’entre nous sont all\u00e9s \u00e0 Anping (partie la plus ancienne de la ville de Tainan), o\u00f9 l’on peut d\u00e9guster et savourer les meilleurs “jelly bean”. Ces derniers sont des desserts constitu\u00e9s \u00e0 base de haricots rouges. J’y \u00e9tais et j’ai go\u00fbt\u00e9 ! D\u00e9licieux !! Merci encore Francis de nous avons montr\u00e9 l’endroit ainsi que de nous avoir offert \u00e0 chacun un “jelly bean” \ud83d\ude42 Pour le d\u00e9jeuner, nous avons pu test\u00e9 d’autres mets dont notamment : du riz cuit dans des morceaux de bambou, des champignons fris dans l’huile (lecker!), des nuddles et d’autres petits plats. Nous avons \u00e9galement mang\u00e9 un poulet en entier et quand je dis entier, je veux vraiment dire “entier”. Les pieds en faisaient partis ! Howard en a mang\u00e9 un (normal, il est ta\u00efwanais) et Theresa a go\u00fbt\u00e9 un petit peu le second. Si courageuse ! C’\u00e9tait notre h\u00e9ros de la journ\u00e9e ! \ud83d\ude09 Nous sommes ensuite all\u00e9s \u00e0 Guan Zi Lang, une petite ville localis\u00e9e dans la campagne de Ta\u00efwan. L\u00e0-bas, nous avons visit\u00e9 un site d\u00e9nomm\u00e9 “Suei-ho-tong-yuan” signifiant en chinois “eau et feu au m\u00eame endroit” o\u00f9 l’on a pu voir des flammes \u00e9ternelles. Impressionnant et tr\u00e8s joli ! Les flammes r\u00e9sultent de la combustion d’un gaz naturel, principalement compos\u00e9 de m\u00e9thane (\u00e0 ~90%), s’\u00e9chappant de la mare d’eau. M\u00eame par temps pluvieux la flamme ne s’\u00e9teint pas !<\/em><\/p>\n
