Taiwan High Lights

We finished our week long vacation in Taipei on Monday. High Lights are:

We were interviewed and broadcasted on Taiwan news! Saturday morning, we were walking around, and went into a grocery type of store by our hotel. TV crew were there interviewing people about the tainted milk products. The lady asked us if we eat "peanut milk". I took that to mean literally, peanut flavored milk. Wei was smarter than me, and understood correctly that she meant candies make of peanut milk. The whole 3 minutes, I was laughing at Wei's awkward Mandarin. I thought they'd just delete our section. Guess no one else was willing to talk to them, so they aired us. Need to find the clip and download it somehow.

Eva Air upgraded us to first class! Monday morning was our flight from Taipei to Hokkaido. Guess we were kind of early, when we checked in, the lady told us she made some arrangements to our seating. We didn't pay much attention to it, since we didn't have seat numbers before, we thought she just gave us seats together close to the front. So being assigned row 7, we boarded the plane towards the end. Wei was wondering how come our seats were H and K, they don't seem to be next to each other or even close. When we got on, we were shown to the first class section. Apparently, rows 6-9 are first class. Of course we didn't complain. Wei seems to think the lady at the checkin counter thinks he's cute, so upgraded us at no charge. In any case, it was so nice!! They fed us all the time, had "tray clothe" for meals, and food was served in real china. We had food menu and drink menu. The best part was the seat. It reclines all the way so I can sleep like in a bed! Too bad the flight was only 3 hours. I told Wei that's the only way to travel from now on.
