Visiting some friends in Taipei

The next step to Alex was to discover the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.
We met one of our friend in Ximen, to have lunch all together. Then, we went to visit the "Chiang Kai Chek Memorial" and the "Sun Yat Sen Memorial" Halls, before joining some friends in a pub to relax a bit.

































One of the new experiences in Taiwan is the "Snake Alley Night Market" close to Longshan Temple; a market where you can eat snakes, crocodile, bee larvae, mouses, frogs, turtles and so on. Actually, our Taiwanese friends we met in a pub, never went there and they were eager to join us and participate to Alex's next experience : the snake meal set ! The meal set is composed of glasses of snake blood, snake venom, alcohol and a snake meat soup. One of the waitress kindly explained us how to drink these beverages...Because there is a procedure to handle before starting. I would not explain the procedure here (hope you will go to try by yourself) but it make easier to drink them all. Despite Alex's disgust, he did finish the meal.



"Bon appétit" bien sûr !!!!
