板桥Part 2

Caught up in all the action at Ah Xin's book signing session in the morning, we proceeded to tour 板桥 in the afternoon. It was a fulfilling time coz Huifoon's friend's friend brought us around. It sure makes a difference. Managed to get 2 decent looking blouses for an unbelievable S$5 & S$10. Thank goodness I didn't buy it at Shi Lin (if not I'd be banging my head!!) Shopping aside, we got to see a more cultural side of Taipei. There's an old mansion, those you see in those period dramas, complete with fake mountains and lakes and bridges... the Lin family used to live in it. But now it's a tourist attraction... can't imagine your home being an attraction.
