After leaving a trail of destruction in the Philippines, the first typhoon of 2006 is heading towards Hong Kong. Typhoon Chanchu may swing back east and head towards Taiwan, and I hope that it does.
Typhoon days in Taiwan means that everybody gets the day to play mah-jhong, go karaoke or just sleep.
Here's the food that you would typically find at Jiu Feng.
The man is preparing the sweet potatoes.
The end product. Purple is yam, yellow is sweet potato, and the dark brown is another kind of yam. It's dipped in a sugary syrup and is chewy.
Hmm.. I want some now.
Free to try are different types of nuts and seeds,
you can get green tea flavoured nuts!
Some sort of fruit jelly… eaten cold… refreshing!
Fish balls!!
The Chaz Chop 
Those fish balls kinda look unhygenic dude…sitting out in the open…???
You seem are having a good time with friends here. Cool!!
We should be out sometime as well. MISS U!!

Jiu Feng!! I went there in 2004 and it was super duper. Stayed over at a cute Japanese Inn ontop of the mountain. And yes, there were typhoon warnings whilst we were up there, too. Very windy but very exciting. Too bad I still can’t see any of the photos you are posting.
zomg i miss the food already just looking at urphotos!
