Note and reflections:
After the first visit to Fisherman's wharf by bus [An Adventure on Formosa] and the first fail attempt by bike [วิ่งไม่หยุด: April Runs], I determined to get there again by bike today! After departed from my walker gang [วิ่งไม่หยุด: Walking for a cause: walk for the blind], I biked to Danshuei MRT station and tried to find a way to the Wharf. Last time I got lost here, but this time I would drag my bike passing through the crowd at Danshuei Market. Along the way, I saw several cute shops, café and hotels such as a cute postcard shop pictured below. I arrived at the Wharf about an hour later and had a big ice cream!! I craved for it. The Wharf in Autumn was a nice place for clearing my clustered mind.
Enjoying my time there, listening to music and chat with people...
Around 5, I decided to bike to GuGong for a quick look at the museum and a music in Saturday Night at NPM program. Later, I joined a group of friends--Den, Jeab, Waan and Neung--for their shopping at Shilin. We were enjoying shopping and eating on the always-crowded streets for almost two hours. The girls got some clothes they wanted. Not being able to read (as well as speak) Chinese, I wanted to order Dou Hua from a picture. But the one we got is not the same as the one in the photo--What You See Is Not What You Got! After my stomach was satisfied, I left them, biking home on "my regular" Keelung River Biking trail.
Walking and biking completed my exercise today. Feel good!

It must be good because of a long line.
