Back in Vancouver

Image
After 10 hours looking at clouds and admiring the icy window, Ice on the plane window. Being back in Vancouver is good! What's the first thing we did as soon as we landed (and after security check)? Eat. Specifically, eat fish and chips from Pajo. Fish and Chips Dinner Pajo is a Steveston, Richmond local fish and chips place. It's one of the first fish and chips place I've tried when I migrated to Canada. I had it on my second day. Anyway, Jomar and I had salmon and halibut for dinner. We went home; unpacked and it's already 11 at night. Time to sleep because we're both going to work the following day.

We have a 4-hour layover in Taiwan. What did we do in Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport? We walked around Terminal 2 and visited the Hello Kitty boarding gate. Jomar saw new Kit-Kat flavour which he purchased. We also had dinner in Mos Burger which is a fast-food restaurant chain that originated in Japan. It's pretty good.

The layover hours were not too long plus I've never been to Taiwan. Booking was convenient, the check-in process was natural, and the staff were friendly. The food exceeded my expectation. I daresay it's better than All Nihonggo Airlines (which I thought had fantastic food) but not at par with Singapore Airlines
