I really didn't do much until about 6:30 PM (oh jeez) when Joanna and I went out with some relatives to a cultural performance in Nangang (南港).

A little visit from the temple~?

The place served food as well! They gave us some dried dates and apricots (both not my thing) and some pineapple cake (yay). They also added water to our personal teapots which had a green tea leaves in it. Very nice!

I didn't get all the performances, but it was honestly a really cool show. I was ready to be bored when I heard we were going to go to a cultural performance (interesting to a certain extent), but I was impressed with all the modern culture mixed into it. There was a nice mix of traditional drum-playing, dancing, acting, makeup, acrobatics, and the such, but also beat boxing, breakdancing, and b-boying. I really liked it!

I got some shots of it, of course~

Drum players. Really passionate, I liked it a lot.

Woah~ 妳是我的花朵~

It's over!

Afterwards, we went to Yangmingshan/陽明山 for some nice scenery. It was quite the car ride but we all got there in one piece, and the view was great! If only my phone camera could've captured it......

  Where the sightseeing occurred...:

haha! Less than glamorous.

The drive home also took a while, and we picked up McDonalds for dinner (and by dinner I mean a midnight snack........) before heading home and relaxing. And writing this journal entry.
