I asked the lady in the tourist info; I think that's what she said. Anyway, the train out of Taipei was totally heaving 'cause it's Chinese New Year today. And now, we're waiting in a massive queue for the bus as well. - Yeah, we⏤ - It's just coming; hopefully, we'll get on this one. We're like ten metres into the street, already stopped for some food. These are some shrimp balls; let's see what it's like. Actually, this is our first food in Taiwan. This is exciting. Oh, my God; amazing! Oh, it's so good. I'm not sure what the sauce is. Sweet and sour at the same time. This tastes like something we used to have when we were kids. Oh, I think it tastes like a fig roll. A fig roll? I love a fig roll. I haven't even finished my squid, and I've just found some more food I want to eat. King oyster mushrooms; come and look at these. We've been here less than an hour, and we've stopped five times for food, and it's all been really, really, really good. That's the best one yet, I think. Squid's pretty good, too. Well, if you've seen the movie "Spirited Away", this is actually the place that the director got all his inspiration from. Yeah, it's a famous view, but, as you can see, today, not much of a view. We've come a bit further down the tracks, and we got off at Shifen Old Street. Everyone's releasing lanterns 'cause it's Chinese New Year and it's really beautiful. They're all going off into the sky with all the new year messages and stuff. I love railway lines, and this is just ideal for me. I got us some food; more food. Takoyaki. We just headed further up the line to Pingxi Station, and we're sitting in this little cafe with an awesome view, right next to the railway tracks. And there's a dog; yes! More food; a steamed bun sandwich. - There's pork... - Coriander and sugar. Don't know what the sugar is all about. It's really good. That's us just back in Taipei. Had a really great wee day trip today. Enjoyed being up in the mountains, even though it was really foggy and we couldn't see anything. Loved seeing the sky lanterns and just, generally, riding the trains, that was really cool. If you enjoyed the video, give us a like, subscribe for more, and don't forget the bell. Don't forget the bell. - OK, see you next time. - See you next time, bye.
