Taipei (11/1 ~ 11/5/2024)
The WIFI hotspot hardware I bought from Amazon for US$20.
Many Amazon reviews said it was a piece of junk.
I thought maybe because the instructions are in too tiny a print and are
difficult to follow.
I was hoping Taiwan's telecommunication store's
staff could make it work, and they did.
The charger's contact is not very secure; the lights
indicator did not respond spontaneously either.
Size is 4 x 2.3 inches.
Hotel Cozzi's breakfast spread.
There were 5 hot dishes and a soup every day, and they were different for the 5 days we were there.
WOW! 紅燒豬腳, Braised Pigs' Feet on the first day's breakfast.
A collage of hot dishes from other days.
Fried fish, 古早味油飯 sticky rice, fish ball soup, and braised pork.
Outside breakfast time, this breakfast room served as a lounge for all
guests
to come to enjoy free beverages and snacks until 11 pm.

MC ordered 東坡肉飯, pork belly rice (on the left).
A customer who shared a table ordered 豬腳肉飯, pork knuckle rice, on the right.
From our hotel room, we could see a long queue across the street already formed at 5 am to enter
Fuhang Soy Milk (阜杭豆漿) on the 2nd floor of 華山市場 for breakfast.
阜杭 opens from 5:30 am to 12:30 pm. (Closed Mondays.)
The wait time usually was more than 1 hour, and could be much longer on weekends.
On a weekday at 5 am, Vincent decided to join the queue.
The inside eating area was very orderly.
Vincent came back to the hotel with these purchases from 阜杭豆漿.
He loved the 鹹豆漿.
(We still had a full breakfast to go to at the hotel after 7 am.)
南門市場 (Nanmen Market): ready-to-eat food to take home.
