Gongguan Station: All things college

Just near the National Taiwan University, Gongguan station (公館站) will make your young self feel giddy. This was the first time I saw a double-level parking for bicycles, a barrage of girls and boys with full bangs, cool themed cafes, and dozens of outlet stores that sell rubber shoes. It's cool like that (or however college-speak you say it now).

I found it interesting to see the pedestrian tunnel decorated to have that look and feel of university corridors. We also went pass a Sanrio shop but if you walk a bit further to the right, there's also a small local store selling cute yet cheaper Hello Kitty items. 

The highlight of our day was finding a Mexican restaurant, Good Day. Woot, they have tacos! Mexican food isn't a regular in Taiwan so finding one makes me crave for more. I used to love digging in a bowl of nachos while studying for my midterms way back when. Good Day is a bit small but their menu has a variety of Mex-Cal eats. We requested for the menu in English and they have one available. Plus, the crew who assisted us can speak English very well. :) (Resto Rating: ★★★★)

We ordered the Taco Fiesta, with three choice of toppings (Beef, pulled BBQ pork, and chicken) and chicken wings. Loved the sweet BBQ toppings but I'm not a fan of the spicy chicken wings with Louisiana style sauce. (Food Rating: ★★★½ )

If not for the scorching heat, we would have spent good hours of stroll in Gongguan. Definitely, we'll go back here. Just for the reason of remembering what used to be sweet college life.
