Couldn\u2019t sleep tonight either. I actually woke up at 6 am. Couldn\u2019t sleep at all. Even tough I was dead tired. I Ran out of HHTTG episode in the CD I had at the hotel room, I had the rest on MP3 at the hotel, but my CD Player don\u2019t read them. It\u2019s too old. I\u2019m gonna buy a new one here before I go back. I had another 45 minutes of book at the office, but I didn\u2019t feel like getting up and dressed and go to the office just to get one CD. So I started reading the tourist book.
\nI found out some things I already knew, and learnt about a few places I can probably visit in the next weekend.<\/p>\n
At the morning (afternoon), I went and stayed at office, watching a Smallville episode. It was the day before last of the new year\u2019s. Nelson called me and we went to the Shih-Lin Night Market after he was through with some family dinner or something, we went to the market along with his girl friend and a friend of hers. Hanging with Nelson is good. He kind of reminds me a bit of cousin Alex. Only Chinese. I think it\u2019s something to do with his accent and his height. He\u2019s not a \u201cGil Biderman\u201d high. Nelson is cool to hang with and we have a lot to talk about usually. I think that everybody here at Sanctum is very friendly and nice, and so does Idan.<\/p>\n
The Shih-Lin Market is very large, and was very crowded that night, because of the holiday. There is a \u201cfood court\u201d area which has a lot of different varieties of dishes. I ate some fried fish pieces that has the same sauce that the Oyster egg thing has. Nelson had the oyster thing. He bought me some drink called \u201cFrog Eggs\u201d (See Pictures). Don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s not actually frog\u2019s eggs. It\u2019s like some Jello-Ice-Tea with small dark starch balls. They even have larger straws for the cup, that are available almost only in Taiwan, and it\u2019s mainly just for this drink. We then stood in line for some fried chicken. It\u2019s basically a Schnitzel. A very good one for that matter. It\u2019s not made out of bread crumbs but some other way to use flour, and they season it with spices, like black pepper and red pepper powder which made it a bit over spicy. Also it\u2019s big. Very big. And entire chicken\u2019s breast I\u2019ll assume. We went to some of the smaller streets, it resembles \u201cNachlat Binyamin\u201d, a lot of vendors with carts. Stores that sell all sort of clothes and stuff. It\u2019s what you\u2019d expect in a night market I guess…<\/p>\n
Nelson bought me a prepaid SIM card that you can stick in your GSM Phone, and just talk here without all the extra roaming charges I Pay for using my Orange phone. I stuck it in my phone and it didn\u2019t work. \u201cSIM card not accepted\u201d. Nelson told me that some cell companies lock their phones so you wouldn\u2019t be able to able to use them In other networks. That isn\u2019t nice. A short Google search for \u201cHacking Nokia Phone Sim\u201d didn\u2019t help. I found out HOW to actually hack the phone, but you also need Orange\u2019s code, which I don\u2019t have. Hacking is such a nice illegal hobby. Thank god I don\u2019t practice it, nor do I support, or encourage anyone of take part in hacking in any way.
