People to thank for:
My cousin, Mei, who is super nice and offered me a room on her Long Island house for staying temporarily, went all the way to pick me up from the airport and sent me off too.
My aunt and her family, who are really considerate and showed me around during weekends.
I'm really grateful that I have all the relatives to rely on, and would love to send big hugs for everyone.
Now, here are resources used and gathered before and during the trip!
It's the season for cabbages in Taiwan recently. One can find cheap / on sale and tasty ones around easily.
This week's menu focus on cabbages.
I have to say that I didn't think curry and cabbages would be a good match at first, but they are OK together. So, here are this week's menu:
1. curry with cabbages and golden mushrooms;
2. stew cabbages with soy sauce (Hakka cabbage stew).

February 28 is a national holiday in Taiwan to mourn for the pity souls murdered by the Chinese government back in 1947. The Chang-Kai-Shek government took over Taiwan from the Japanese in 1945. A horrible political oppression was enforced on Taiwanese people since then, and had lasted for 50 years. Well-educated gents, teachers, and doctors were arrested and murdered during that period since the Chinese government wanted to take full control of the Taiwanese.
It's a sad story to tell. But the post is more relaxing. I took the liberty to go on a hiking trip with a friend and her friends. Our main focus was on Tinmum Hiking Path. We separated around noon at Yang-Ming Mt.. I enjoyed a carefree afternoon and wandered around Yang-Ming Mt. park a bit.
