Big Yellow Duck

So this is another one of my adventures that happened quite some time ago. Again sorry for the delay. 

You might not be aware but one of the huge trends here are yellow rubber ducks. This is because of the giant yellow duck that has been on tour here in Taiwan. So when it came to my area I had to go and see it.

I went and saw it with a Taiwanese girl that I had met. We met up in Zhongli at the train station. I got there super early but that gave me time to go buy some sunglasses( notice the picture) and have breakfast. From the train station we walked over to the bus stop where we got on the bus that was to go to the yellow duck. The bus ride was way longer than either of us thought that it would be.

When we finally got there it was warm and breezy.Since it was close to the water it honestly reminded me of the Jersey shore and made me miss my best friend from home a little bit.  There was also tons of people there. We waited in line for like half hour before we were able to even see the duck. 

First sight of the duck













Soon...
After we saw the duck we went and looked at the different stalls. There was all sorts of Yellow Duck merchandise that you could think of. There were also lots of food stalls. We decided to get some squid balls and my friend got some warm soy milk. The squid balls were awesome although a little dangerous to eat while walking since they were on very sharp sticks. We also got something that looked like a corn dog but the batter was closer to that of pancake batter than cornbread. I also bought a yellow duck stuffed animal that quacks really awkwardly so I named it after my favorite awkward angel from the show Supernatural, Castiel. After that we made the long way back home. 

Sorry for being away

Sorry for being a way for so long. I've had a really busy two months because of work and then I got sick. Sorry again
