Day 18 (1/15) Breaking out the swim trunks from JHS

Took my aunt to Din Tai Fung for a tasty lunch of steamed dumplings and shumai.
Then it was off to a vacation-within-a-vacation to an oceanside resort the aunt with the monkey is a member of. The bus ride to Wanli, northern Taiwan, took about 75 minutes.



Wasn't sure what exactly the place was called; there were different names on different signs.


It was kind of dreary out so I put off on exploring the beach.



From a handy little guide in my suite.

Hit up the pool instead as well as the nearby jacuzzi, sauna and Japanese-style steam room.

Sat down to a leisurely meal next. We were literally the only patrons at the restaurant, on that floor at least.This would turn out to be a theme throughout our stay. There was a large wedding banquet being held at another part of the resort so maybe that's where everybody was.It was my first experience with a made-to-order buffet and will probably be the best, as we had the chefs and servers all to ourselves. It was the ultimate personalized dining experience.

After dinner I wandered down to one of the basement levels which had been advertised as a recreation room with a photo of a weight room and everything. It turned out to be some pool and tennis tables, a playground set and a video arcade, with only a couple treadmills and bikes.Seeing as there was nobody else there, it would've been pretty cool to have my own personal video arcade, if the games weren't all from the 80s and 90s.
