Popsicle Capital of the World

Friday met Melissa and Rachel from Painting, went for lunch at an Italian place. First time seeing a menu with English translation included. Also the first time seeing or using a fork in over two months.

After, went with Melissa to see the Taipei Fine Art Museum. Mostly Taiwanese artists, mostly modern, some weird, but mostly pretty good stuff. Walking around later she learned I hadn't yet tried Taiwan's popsicles. Dropped into a 7-11 straightaway.

I had a milk and red bean. Pretty good. Red bean besides, there're tons of other flavors, though can't be sure of what you'll turn up in any individual store. Some are standard; like chocolate-flavored and orange and mango (Mmm). The cheapest I saw was only ten dollars, not the usual fifteen. Most of it was like frozen vanilla pudding, while the tip tasted like syrup (!).
