逛花燈，吃東西，你猜燈謎？My Lantern Festival Night in Taipei - Part 1

_{Year of the Dog!}

Probably some of you know that the Chinese Lantern Festival just passed. It was March 1st last Thursday. We did not realize until last weekend. I made sure that Taipei's Lantern Festival was on until Sunday night so we rushed there to catch some final glimpse yesterday evening.

It was near the North Gate and along the Zhonghua Road, spanning across quite a large area. So we did not check out all the lanterns, just to enjoy the fun and relax. Obviously, lots and lots of Taipei families think the same, so we just took a few photos and hid into a near-by cafe to enjoy dinner. I am gonna show you both in this part-one post, and will do a part-two post maybe tomorrow for more cute lanterns which we bumped into during our casual walking in this old part of Taipei city.

_{Don't ask me what the hell this is...}

元宵節剛剛過，昨晚我們突然想起還有這東西，所以上網一看，太好了，台北燈節是最後一天！趕緊小孩著裝後，趕到西門站附近去看。看來大家都在趕最後一刻，人山人海地實在嚇人，我們草草拍一些照片後，就躲進一間咖啡廳裡去吃吃晚餐了。跟大家分享一下元宵氣氛跟這間中華路上的咖啡廳囉！但還有續集！等我們準備回家，在這一區台北老城區散步時，剛好撞見有另一區在中山堂前面的花燈區，人就少一些，所以好好拍了拍花燈，下一篇再分享囉！

文章最後，跟大家玩玩晚到的元宵猜謎活動好了！記得看到最後喔！^_^

_{Haven't I said don't ask me?}

The following two photos show how many people there were.
下面兩張圖可以看到人山人海啊！

Foreign cities had joined to greet Taipei. We saw Korea and Japan cities.
日本韓國也有城市來贊助提供花燈喔！甚至還可以玩遊戲拿獎品！

Ok! Time to sit back and enjoy some meals. ^^
累了，懶人家庭找好咖啡廳躲起來吃東西了！

We were lucky to find this Sunny Cafe nearby. It is neat and comfortable, although it seems more like a young people's cafe than a family cafe... hey! my son is the youngest of all customers yesterday alright? ^^

我們蠻幸運找到這家Sunny Cafe就在中華路開頭處。是一間簡潔明快的，看起來像是走年輕人路線的咖啡廳。我們雖然沒那麼年輕，不過我兒才五歲，夠年輕了... 呵呵~~~

Well, although the cafe had run out of many items on their menu, but we were still grateful that they had empty seats for us to sit and relax. Besides, the meals we had were not too bad at all! All in all, quite a good lantern night!

雖然餐廳菜單上許多餐點都沒了... 但我們還是很感謝可以找到這間，有位置且其實我們最後點的東西還都不錯吃的喔！價格不算便宜，不過以餐廳來說，其實也是很不貴的... 這一個元宵夜晚還不錯... 下一集我們再好好看看花燈吧！^^
