Visit to Hsinchu with Juliet
Juliet and I attended a wedding in Hsinchu last Saturday (11/1). We arrived fairly early, enjoyed a very relaxing lunch, then sat around because we didn't want to go out into the unseasonal heat. We did take a walk in National Tsinghua University though. They have their own lake.
The wedding took place in a church, and the overall atmosphere was quite relaxed and fun. When the minister said "You may kiss the bride," the bride actually recoiled out of embarrassment. The bride's one of Juliet's friends from university, so we also saw a bunch of old university friends and classmates.
After the wedding, we headed to the banquet, which was located in quite possibly the most beautiful and luxurious hotel ever. It was one of those places with carpet so thick you sank into it, ankle-deep, as soon as you stepped through the front door. The food was great, the entertainment was intriguing (Juliet and I were called on stage to participate in a game involving a drawing of a rib), and the atmosphere was one of romance and joy. Quite nice overall, pity we had to leave early to catch a train.
We then came back to Taipei together, and the next day we visited Grandpa in the hospital, had lunch at Cafe Grazie with the family, and sat around doing very little for the afternoon. Very relaxing, and it's so nice to just be able to spend time together.
Best girlfriend ever.
Also, who wants pics?
