We had breakfast before proceeding to Kaohsiung. An hour journey from Kenting.
The boss personally made this sandwich for me. It wasn't even in the menu! Thanks lady boss!
The highway to Kaohsiung!
We settled for some fruits along the way.
The water caltrop (Trapa bicornis) is an aquatic plant with a fruit strangely shaped like Dali's moustache – although it is more often likened to the shape of a bull's horns. The fruit is alternately called ling nut, horn nut, bat nut, devil pod, and, in Chinese, ling jiao.
When I look at it again, it look like Maleficent's horns.
A nut with a buzz, Bin Lang is Taiwan's second largest crop and people consume it like candy. Known to science dorks as Areca catechu and cool kids as a Betel Nut, it’s similar to chewing tobacco (with a bit of a high) and just as tooth-stainingly cancerous. Hawked on the streets by chicks in bikinis, this nut is food, drugs, sex and smokes all rolled into one.
Bin Lang stalls and their convincing salespeople can be found along busy highways and intersections throughout Taiwan.
