The church is located at a very central location called Zhongxiao Dunhua which has many shopping malls and also a 24-hour flagship Eslite bookshop. Their services are held at a school hall very near to their church office. When we reached there, there were already quite a few people waiting around to go into the hall.
Soon after the doors were opened, the whole hall was filled as well. A male cgl came up to chat with us and even told us he came to Singapore for our Asian Conference last year! The members were all very frenly and also very grateful towards Pastor Kong. We felt very at home there!
We din manage to get up close and personal with Pastor Kong as he left directly after the service, probably to another church. Joe did meet Pastor Abraham Ku at the toilet though! Hee! We also din get to see any celebrities, only Wing. Hee! We headed for their church office and it seemed many of the members flocked there as well. They gathered in their cgs and there was packed food and everyone just ate and fellowshipped together.
We bought a CD from the bookstore and you can check out the MV for the first song below. I'm sure some of you are familiar with it =)seed of hope new version from swchao on Vimeo.
After lunch, we headed down to Danshui which was super super packed! It seems like a really popular hangout for both locals and tourists on a Sunday. We got all of the popular Taiwanese foodstuffs from here too - iron eggs, pineapple cake, mochi, jelly, sun biscuit. Just a tip, dun buy iron eggs in big packets cos they cant keep for long once opened. Get those packed in 3s per packet and buy from the stalls further in than those near to the MRT station, those cost more. For pineapple cake, the freshly made ones may cost more but cost better than the pre-packed ones. As for the sun biscuit, the pre-packed ones are good enough and they taste great!
There are also lots to eat here in Danshui, we got fried mushrooms which were really tasty. All kinds are fried, even the golden mushrooms. We also ate this potato spiral tower which they will sprinkle flavours like garlic, curry or cheese powder on it. And not forgetting the long ice-cream cone I mentioned before!
It started pouring again! But still we took the ferry over to Fisherman's Wharf and with the cold wind blowing, we had to seek shelter at a coffee house. They have quite pretty cafes there with live music too, very nice for relaxing. We took pictures at the Love Bridge but it was freezing cold!!
Dear was itching to shop again so we headed down to Shilin again (this' the 2nd time!). We topped off our long day with food at the Shilin Food Centre and took a cab back to the hotel around 1am!
