Tea at Wisteria House with Nabila

5.1 labour day.

Guo-chin, Fumi, Violette and I greeted Nabila, Guo-chin's boss at his cosmology lab in Paris, who for the first time visited Taiwan. We gathered in the dusk (because Guo-chin is not a "labor" and therefore had to work that day) and went to a Japanese restaurant in Yangming Mountain called "Cherry Blossom" (山櫻坊).

As expected, it's an ideal place for us as it provides mainly cooked seafood--Nabila doesn't eat red meat and Fumi doesn't eat raw fish. Both quality and quantity (we five shared four sets) proved right. And the price was also friendly. So it turned out to be a very delightful dinner.

And then we drove around Chinese Culture University to take an aerial view of the night Taipei. We were very lucky; the air was crystal clear after it rained for almost three consecutive weeks and thus the nightview was simply awesome. I took two pictures there.





Then we came back to downtown and had tea at Wisteria House. I surprised everybody by saying it's my first time there while I basically grew up in that area. Anyway, it's a fun experience; the house itself is a historical place with quite a few political stories, and the tea making is interesting to everybody in particular, i guess, to Nabila, who is a Nigeria-born French.

The saleslady demonstrated how to make tea...




Then Guo-chin tried...


He did a good job!


Nabila and Fumi then also tried...




Then we took group photos.




It was just a great night!
