So I decided to go to Tamsui (淡水) by MTR.

We can go to Tamsui by MTR Tamsui line directly from Taipei station.
It takes about 1 hour or so.

おいしいかき氷を食べたらなんか復活したので、地下鉄で１時間弱の淡水へ来ました。

Tamsui is said to be “Venice in Taiwan”.
Though I got to their around 4 p.m., but it was cloudy and it was like evening.

台湾のベニスと言われる、淡水です。４時ごろ着いたのに曇っていてすでに夕暮れのようになっていました。

Only one place had bad smell, but it is comfortable place.
(Maybe many people throw garbage into the sea…)

どぶくさいところが一か所だけありましたけど、全体的に景色が良くて気持ちのいい場所です。

It was weekend, so many people from inside and outside Taiwan gathered.

週末なので、たくさんの人が集まっていました。

But too many people gathered along the market street :p So many stalls are along the long street.

しかし、海よりも、屋台通りのほうに人が集まっています（笑）

Anyway, I wanted to drink something cold, so, I dropped in at this shop. Plum beverage shop. They prepare plum beverage only. Of course, I ordered cold one. But they prepare hot plum beverage, too. Both is $NT30.
It seems long-established shop.

のどが渇いたので、こちらで梅ジュースを飲むことに。

Of course, this plum beverage was sour. And it was sweet a bit.

梅ジュースなので酸っぱいです。甘味もあります。ちょっと変わったものが飲みたかったのでちょうどよかった(*´▽｀*)

By the way, I heard that we can see beautiful sunset at Tamsui, but we couldn’t see it because of such a dense cloud.
But still the sea view going to get dark is beautiful 🙂

淡水は美しいサンセットが望めると評判ですが、重い雲のせいで、それは望めず。それでも暮れゆく海景色はきれいですね。

I found terrible Japanese. This signboard says “We burn branch of flower. Squid burst.” Oh my. But it’s tasty deep fried squid shop.

こわい日本語みつけた／(^o^)＼

Then I found grilled squid shop ! I didn’t feel like eating something, but I suddenly felt hungry as soon as I found this shop !
$NT50。

別に何か食べたいとは思ってなかったんですけど、この店見たら、急におなかがすきました！(｀・ω・´)ｼｬｷｰﾝ

Squid is my delight. And grilled squid that can be eaten at the market and festival is exceptional !
Speaking of grilled squid can be eaten at festival in Japan, it is seasoned with soy sauce and sugar. But in Taiwan, they add much spice ! It is delicious !
And mostly they cut grilled squid into pieces so that we can easily eat. It is helpful.

日本でイカ焼きといえば、醤油と砂糖で味付けされたものですけど、台湾ではスパイスをいっぱいかけます！これがまたおいしい！そして安いからいっぱい食べられる！

In addition, grilled squid in Taiwan is inexpensive. It is one of the reason that I like Taiwan ! 🙂

Some events were held. Though I wanted to enjoy more, but I went back to Taipei before night. I had to go to another place, too ! My trip to Taipei was only for three days !
