Take care of a cat for a week This afternoon, I went to the airport with my friend to see her off. She brought her cat with her and planed to send it back home located in Kinmen. Kinmen is a county of Taiwan including many beautiful islands. However, she forgot to bring the certificate which can prove the cat vaccinated already. What's worse, there's no time for her to get back and bring the certificate. So, fortunately, I can spend more time with her cat, but unfortunately, she can't pet it for about a week. Speaking to this cat, her name is 哺哺 which pronounced like ''boo-boo.'' I think there's no one in English-speaking countries would name his/her pet boo-boo. If you do name your pet boo-boo, I'll be definitely curious about the reason! Actually, 哺哺 has no specific meaning in Chinese. My friend named the cat 哺哺 just because she thought it sounds cute. I love boo-boo so much but I'm kinda allergic to the cat. I just pet her and my eyes are getting itchy and red. I can expect that I'll start sneezing later. Despite of the allergy, I'm glad to have a chance to take care of her!

Late night snack As the title, I wanna share what I had for late night snack yesterday. I had 鹽酥雞! In Chinese, literally it means “Salty crispy chicken” and simply it is fried diced chicken. 鹹酥雞 itself only includes an ingredient. However, there’s no one in Taiwan doesn’t know the real meaning about 鹹酥雞. The truth is you can choose other ingredients except for chicken and get them chopped up, deep fried and then mixed together! No doubt the most famous ingredient is diced chicken but my favorite is sweet potatoes! Other ingredients like tofu, squid, rice blood cake, tempura, vegs and many parts of chicken including chicken neck, chicken wings, chicken skin, and even chicken butt, and etc. Though 鹹酥雞 is unhealthy and greasy, I think it’s still the best choice for late night snack! By the way, the tofu generally includes two different kinds. One is 雞蛋 tofu and the other is 百頁 tofu. The former is yellowish and tender. The later is white and chewy~

Earthquakes hit Tainan Two magnitude about 3.5 earthquakes hit Tainan in 30 minutes last night! They were both shallow quakes and that's why I felt strongly. It was the first time I heard some noise sounded like thunder right before the earthquake. I'm still wondering the English name of the sound like that. In Chinese, we call it 地鳴 and it means that the earth is making a sound.
