Date night -- tapas and cold drinks沒有孟田的夜晚

我們把孟田放在我媽和我二姐家，兩個人跑到一家西班牙餐廳約會
Vivian and I dropped off little Fiona at grandma's house, then went for a nice dinner of Spanish tapas.



吃完飯，又到一家叫做"冰館"的酒吧。裡面真的很冷
Then we visited "The Ice Bar" for drinks. It was very cold inside.




我們不敢久待，因為我的腳只穿涼鞋，快凍僵
外套是服務人員借我們穿的，但還是冷，零下15度
I would have taken more pictures, but the cold air inside affected the camera to the extent that the battery died. It was freezing in there, about -15 C.


The attendant gave us some winter coats and waved us in, yanking back a heavy sliding door. Inside there were lots of neat ice carvings and whatnot, with colorful lighting. Many rooms with different themes and ice slides and sculptures and other oddities.


At one point I got scared, because I got lost down one dead-end corridor, and it occurred to me that I would probably freeze to death in about half an hour if I wasn't able to get out. But all the same, it was fun. Who would think that in sub-tropical Taipei you could play in a winter wonderland like this?
