Oh No, i am chained up! Help help! *shouts frantically*
Never miss this! Turkish Ice-Cream! NT60 for a cone!
*Slurp slurp*
Two unique qualities that distinguish Turkish ice cream: 1) texture 2) resistance to melting. Salep, a flour made from the root of the Early Purple Orchid is used as a thickening agent, and mastic(a resin) that gives it the chewiness.
This aint a uphill task for us anymore after we conquered the most thrilling and challenging rides at the beginning of this trip!
Right now, i shall showercase the biodiversity of nature by featuring some snapshots of animals! As mentioned earlier, this theme park is the one and only open-sky wild animal park in Taiwan.

Located in the hustle and bustle of XiMenDing, this modern toilet restaurant adds a unique touch to our dining experience. The checkered tile covered walls are adorned with showerheads, while plungers hang from the ceiling along with fæces-shaped lights. The chairs are actual non functional toilets, dishes are served on plastic miniature toilet bowls, and drinks in miniature urinals. The perception of toilet being an unpleasant and unhygienic place was totally put off.
