"Taiwan Glass Gallery"

Do you know what this building is?
Actually, this is a temple!
Compared to Japan, the temples in Taiwan have a lively impression with various colors such as red and yellow, but this is a temple that looks more colorful with the glass and light up above it.
Enshrined inside is the goddess of Taoism, the guardian deity of the "Mazu" voyage and fishery. It is recommended to visit from the evening to the night.

My name is Finemakers.
Miaoli in central Taiwan reached its peak flowering season in mid-November. The chrysanthemum festival was held on 11 / 14-15 and was crowded with many customers.
The white chrysanthemum has a round shape like a pompon chrysanthemum, and the yellow one has elongated petals and is large.
This chrysanthemum is used not only for appreciation but also for tea and food.
Tongluo, which has a large temperature difference between day and night, high humidity, and red soil, is suitable for growing chrysanthemums and has a history of more than 50 years. For the past 10 years, we have also been focusing on pesticide-free cultivation, and you can enjoy the natural flavor of the products produced here with peace of mind.
Since it is non-caffeine, it does not interfere with sleep at night even if you drink it in the afternoon.
I learned from the local people that it has the effect of helping indigestion, mental stability, and liver function.
According to Japanese edible chrysanthemum research, it is said to have effects such as suppressing carcinogenicity and lowering cholesterol / triglyceride.
In addition to the standard tea, there were also rare products such as chrysanthemum beer on sale.
If you see Miaoli chrysanthemum tea (copper pile white chrysanthemum), please give it a try!

I have lived in Taipei for over 20 years, and suddenly I remembered the composition on the theme of "elderly" that I wrote at a language school at that time.

I think I wrote a part of the content, "In Taiwan, many elderly people walk hand in hand, and their appearance is very smiling, and I want to grow older like that in the future."

And now that time has passed, you can see the same scene of the elderly in Taiwan.

Over the last 20 years, the city's infrastructure has been improved, transportation has become more convenient, and there have been many changes.
I felt once again that the old humanity and compassion for others remain as they are.

▶ The state of the town Bankanqua 87, a popular horse shop

I went to Bankanqua 87, a popular local horse shop in Ho Chi Minh City!
Low plastic chairs are lined up on the street, and it is a shop full of local colors like a food stall and a popular dining room. It's a dish that you don't really hear, but it's actually a national dish that is as good as pho for Vietnamese.

Even today, the local people are quite busy without losing to Corona! !!

The rich soup with condensed seafood and the chewy tapioca noodles are well entwined and go great together.
Shrimp, pork blood solidified, vegetables and many other ingredients are enough to eat. But the deliciousness that makes you want to eat another cup.
Ho Chi Minh style is to order additional fried bread.
The fried bread in the south is fluffy and soft, soaked in plenty of soup.

If you can feel free to come to Ho Chi Minh City, this is a restaurant that you should definitely visit!
