Bao An Station

Bao An Station is 1 of the older train station further down South.


There's a custom that started a few years ago, where the locals would come here and buy some train tickets to give to their friends and relatives as a souvenir or good wish.
The tickets apparently haven't changed since then. So, here's a picture of ours (front and back).


Can you read it?

Surprise: Mooncake Festival

When we got back home after that grocery shopping and McD dinner date, the security guy called us and gave us a surprise packaged. Oh how we love surprises!


This surprise package came from the one and only XXS! The mooncake festival is coming up next week and XXS doesn't want us to miss out on this event as well. So, he pre-ordered these yummy goodness so that we could have our taiwanesse mooncake on the festival day.



Look at the pretty packaging and the different mooncake inside the pretty box.
Thank you XXS! We hope you could be here and celebrate the festival with us next week.

XoXo,

August = Ghost month

BoO! Greetings from the Formosa Island

August = Ghost month here in Taiwan which could be either good or bad.
It's bad if you believe in ghosts coz all of 'em are supposed to be out wondering around.
On the other hand, it's good if you don't because you don't need to be afraid ;) Also during this time of the year, most grocery stores are having huge sales on food. This is because a lot of people here likes to feed 'em ghosts so that the ghosts would leave 'em alone. But if you really think about it, if you keep feeding them won't they keep comin' back for more?

So this is the reason why Koggy has A LOT more snacks than usual ... because all of 'em are on sale!



Happy munching!
