Day 20. Nashville: Arnold’s Country Kitchen. Legend’s Corner. Tootsies Orchid Lounge. Rippy’s Bar & Grill. WannaB’s Karaoke Bar. Mellow Mushroom. Waffle House. [Nashville Downtown Hostel]
Last night I stayed up past 5 am, and some of my roommates came in after 4 am, so naturally, it was a sleep-in day for all of us.
Day 19. Nashville: The Parthenon. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken. Jack’s Bar-B-Que. [Nashville Downtown Hostel]
Because I seriously drank too much last night, I slept for the longest time ever. 13 hours or so, I believe. I left the hostel around 12:30 pm, and rode a scooter to the Parthenon, arriving in 30 minutes ($5.80 for 32 minutes and 2.8 miles). It was a nice warm day with clear sky and sunlight, very much unlike a winter day.
Day 18. Atlanta – Nashville: Martin’s Bar-B-Que. Acme Feed & Seed. [Nashville Downtown Hostel]
Leaving my Airbnb place at 9 am by Uber with a well-dressed and helpful driver to Greyhound bus station ($6.07 excluding tips), I got to Nashville ($23.50) at around half past 2 pm, terribly delayed.
Day 17. Atlanta: Krog Street Market. Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park. Centennial Olympic Park. Waffle House. State Farm Arena (Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks). [Airbnb: Kahmiah’s Place]
It was 1:30 pm when I finally left my room and ubered to Krog Street Market. Sharing the ride with a girl going to State Farm Arena, it took me about 30 minutes to get to the market.
Leaving home at 12:00 PM sharp, we arrived at Xinpu, Hsinchu (新竹新埔) well before 13:00 PM, still in time for lunch. Our first stop was near Jiuqionghu (九芎湖), at Liu’s Roast Chicken (劉家莊燜雞). This is a popular local attraction due to the traditional roasting techniques they use, and it is not your normal roasting methods. The chicken are cooked in iron boxes, surrounded by legit burning wood.
