Today, Jennifer and I went to Danshui to be touristy and check out the Fisherman's Wharf and a Portuguese Fort, named Fort San Domingo. It was really interesting to read about the different countries that were trying to take over Taiwan (named Formosa by the Portuguese).
We also went to the former British Consulate building that was conveniently located next door. On a weird note, there was a band playing in the courtyard between the fort and the consulate building. They were mostly foreigners and I think that they were a ska band. The fort was really cool except for the passageways were a little bit low. After messing around with the fort we went to the Fisherman's Wharf. While we were there, we saw a couple signs that were pretty funny. The men's bathroom did not say men at all, it said Gentle. There was a sign for a fire hydrant, but there was a mop there. While we were walking up and down the wharf, I found a Belgian beer to drink, Duvel, it was pretty good and at 8,5% alcohol, I felt pretty good too! For dinner we went to a fried chicken place. For $50NT you get a piece of fried chicken that is about bigger than your face! It is really good but after eating all of it, I don't really want to eat chicken for awhile.
