6:50 P.M. KINMEN KAOLIANG LIQUOR
If you can make it in time, run by the Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor store, a short walk from the Memorial Hall plaza's southwest corner (No. 3, Roosevelt Rd., Section 1; open to 7 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays).
Sample the shop's famous Taiwanese sorghum liquor -- a fiery concoction brewed on Kinmen (also known as Quemoy, a small island in the Taiwan Strait controlled by Taiwan) -- and take a gift bottle with you. There's a variety of sizes and strengths -- choose between 28-, 30-, 38- and 58-proof. You can taste a few for free before you decide, but most people opt for the high-test 58-proof variety ($15.60 for a 750-milliliter bottle).
Assuming you can still fit in a taxi, hop in one here to return to your hotel.
下午6:50:金門高粱酒
如果你還有時間,就去一趟金門高粱酒商店,從紀念堂廣場的西南角走不遠便到(羅斯福路一段3號,工作日和星期六營業(yè)到晚上7點)。
嘗嘗店里有名的臺灣高粱酒──金門島上釀造的烈酒(地處臺灣海峽、屬臺灣管轄的小島)──再買一瓶作為禮物送人。這里有各種容量和酒精濃度的酒供你選擇。酒精濃度有28度、30度、38度和58度的。你可以免費品嘗,不過大多數(shù)人會選擇58度的高度酒(一瓶750毫升的高粱酒售價為15.6美元)。
假使你還能坐進出租車的話,就在這里搭車返回酒店吧。
