I often wished I could catch up with all my blog friends posts too but it's simply too challenging. <br /><br />I've also stopped watching horror films. I used to love watching them with a group of friends when I was schooling as it is so fun to all be scared together. Horror images stick in my mind for a long time and so it is best to avoid such films. <br /><br />You're so right about the rain and even more right about cats!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-67831942063233476902016-07-25T00:02:56.813+08:002016-07-25T00:02:56.813+08:00Thank you.

Those red latern look very pretty to me, but I never saw them in a horror film so I wouldn't have a refrence in my mind for it...but I do get how scary films can influence what we're afraid of, sometimes they really do leave a trace and that is why I stopped watching them.<br /><br />How cute are those 'I've been to Nanyu' photos of you and your hubby! They're actually very romantic, I'm not surprised that couple take their wedding photos there...and your taxi driver was really sweet to take them.<br /><br />Sometimes rain isn't so bad, ha? It seems that this time it was a blessing in disguise indeed...you got to avoid the tourist rush hour and that is always good....and try out some yummy dishes without being pushed around- but from what I gather, your husband did the most eating.<br /><br />You're so right about cats sensing who doesn't like them! They have a six sense for that...even if the person doesn't really dislike them but just isn't a cat person...it is like they won't settle for anything else but admiration:)....maybe that is why I like them. The way that cat got behind your husband's back at that tea house was really funny.<br /><br />....I want to visit that tea house!<br /><br />....lovely cat decor and illustrations in those shops...and those street cats are very sweet.Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-38887996984045661902016-06-30T17:46:32.446+08:002016-06-30T17:46:32.446+08:00I like!

By the way, and first of all, thanks for the lovely comment you left on my blog, I'm happy that you like the content I'm sharing from my laptop at my little office ;)<br /><br />I just adore the pictures! Currently I'm falling in love with a lot of places from Asia and one of my upcoming missions (hopefully) is to travel to this continent! And from your pictures I could see that this could be an awesome experience, hopefully I can include Taipei in the itinerary. Your pictures looks so magical and the streets of Taipei seems to be overwhelming but stunning! Need to get there as soon as possible!<br /><br />Regards, dear Jo!<br />Pablo<br /><a href="www.fungiexpress.com" rel="nofollow">Fungi Express blog</a> Pablo Parra (Fungi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18238714665467098055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-55105265822375189202016-06-27T19:06:52.222+08:002016-06-27T19:06:52.222+08:00No escargots for me...

Hmm, I never knew. Looks about right tho. Lovely falls! The cat trap store is so clever and cute. Glad you overcame your fear of a red lantern. Totally cute and sweet in that kitty shirt at the end. Overall just so glad to see you look so happy and free.

Do you eat escargot done the butter ga...Hahahaha... Do you eat escargot done the butter garlic Western/French way? I love those! I don't really see them as snails but I couldn't relate the ones in Taipei to escargot coz they aren't done the butter garlic way and it was really difficult to extract them from their shells. I don't like eating difficult food. <br /><br />I didn't know you all made lanterns in school too! What are the materials used? Paper and cellophane? The lanterns we make in school are during Chinese New Year and Mid Autumn Festival. Hence we used ang pow (red packets) to make them. They are merely for decoration though and you can't put a candle in one. <br /><br />I'm always adventurous in trying out new things but I still can't do lots like eating insects or catching cockroaches with bare hands. Apparently there is a babelicous Singaporean blogger who could do those. <br /><br />Lastly, I wanna say that you never know what would come your way when you open up more, Launna. =) Wishing and hoping for good things to come your way! xoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-34767066316249525252016-06-22T00:22:35.631+08:002016-06-22T00:22:35.631+08:00What a lovely trip Jo!

I think the lanterns look so cool lit up at night... we use to make them when we I'm school but they never looked that good. <br /><br />Your husband is funny with wanting to try all the different foods... you are more adventuresome than me, maybe when I travel I might open up a bit more xox ♡♡Launna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.com
