Local Longshan Night Out, do'in the town!
Had big plans before the Easter Holiday.
I always abstain on that weekend for religious purposes.
Had plans to go to Taoyuan and Keelung but the plans fell through.
Ended up at the old default, Longshan Temple.
Did some searching, and feeling a bit out of sorts. So, decided to abort mission and eat something.
I suddenly realized that I was a bit out of sorts because I ate very little the whole day, a couple of bananas and some bread, maybe dehydrated. (what kind of an idiot forgets to drink enough when water and drinks are so plentiful? That idiot would be me!
Had some rice, soup and some vegetables on Kangding (about only $50 NT) and felt refreshed.
Reconsidered, in light of the renewed burst of energy and resurgence, to continue with my original mission. But, still wanted to go easy and cheap.
Walked the park and tea house stroll, and saw some exciting long legs in shorts on Guangzhou and Huaxi. Lovely legs. Had to have them.
I then realized that I knew her. In the past, I enlisted her many times. She used to rush me, so I told her back then that we were done, finished, divorced, arrivederci, sayonara, zaijian.
But, when I would see her over the years, she used to beg for forgiveness and always pleaded to be reinstated, and not be on my naughty list. (naughty, as in selfish-naughty, because we all like naughty-naughty girls).
I would just smile, shake my head and maybe buy her a snack.
(Incidentally, this is a different girl from the one who used to try her best to clean out my wallet when I was a newbie to the area. Aside from friendly bantering, that one knows she has no chance, unless she pays me back from extreme overcharges, plus interest. She is satisfied that I joke with her and give her a small donation).
But, I was sort of down on my luck tonight, so when I realized it was her looking so good in those shorts and she promised to be nice, and I stared her down and she was read the riot act. I really gave her the last chance and don't blow it speech. She got it!
Anyway, usual tearoom fare. Pay 100 NT for tea and 1000 NT covered the full service.
She is lively, spirited and very passionate, powerful legs and hips. She's one of the few that really overpowers me. She is no wall flower. Once she lets loose, there is no holding her back. I can only watch in awe at her feminine strength. She sounds like she is giving birth. Literally like riding a bull in the rodeo.
Anyway. Her energy was just what I needed. We embraced as old reunited friends do. It was mutually satisfying. Said our good byes with nothing but smiles and good will.
I forgot to mention that I passed by a one-timer I had last year who offered me a discounted HJ for $600 NT, but I refused her, as she is beyond all hope of reformation and rehabilitation. Unless, during this Easter Holiday, she is visited by the three Easter Bunny Spirits of Past, Future and Present. I am not sure if that applies to Easter as well as Christmas.
Anyway, I needed to wind down after activities.
In the underground that connects to the MRT, there are two very large coffee / tea / drinks and dry snacks restaurants. Very informal, so friendly, with locals. One has a couple of large screen TV's, with a broader menu, but mine was the more simple one.
You are allowed to literally sit all day there and talk to friends, and sip and eat. It is a very popular hangout where many locals gather. Very nice.
Many people are writing, working something out on large papers. Not sure if it is some sort of divination, as the fortune tellers are in that section also. Or, maybe some sort of lottery or island activity from yesteryear.
Anyway, the hostess was lovingly nice to me, super friendly and happy to have a "waiguo ren" as their guest, as were the other patrons, happy and friendly towards me.
She served me a cafe late, $55 NT, hot and steamy, in a tall glass mug. Hit the spot. They have very nice, clean specialty coffee equipment.
And, then I went home.
Incidentally, across from that large snack shop, there is a very high-end tea shop, dark interior, nice mood, clean. I have spent time there on occasion. Higher prices. But, solemn, almost like a tea shop for meditative monks. They also serve black coffee only there, and hot chocolate for $120 NT, or water for $100 NT if you want to just sit there and enjoy a peaceful place, because the two other shops are more robust and jumpy. But, the high-end traditional, connoisseur teas there are quite expensive.
