Taiwan Trip!
The first day... We reached Tao yuan airport and bought a sim card tt can b use in Taiwan :) after we bought the shuttle bus ticket... We proceeded to the taoyuN hsr :) the journey is abt 30 mins and we reached taichung! The tricky thing is tt the railwAy station is different from the hsr station. But well, I worried too much :) there is a link between e stations and we jus walked along! We reached tAichung railway station n hotel without much effort as it's located very near to the station! Hehe... We settled our dinner at feng jia night market and I bought 2 tops n one pants! The night ended late at Around 2pm... The night market closes damn late la! Haha their night life is soooo happening lor!
Day 2
We booked our tour to sml ;) the tour came early then expected and the tour is quite Alright :) he explained alot of things to us which I find interesting :) but the rest dun seems to b listening on some history pArts haha... Lunch is quite exclusive as 4 of us had a 6 to 8 table of food. And we had a lake tour which the weather kind of spoil it As it was too cloudy... But overall I find it not bad la :) ps: we had the whole tour by ourselves! One tour guide, one tour bus!
Dinner we walked to Yi zhong Jie and had their tan kao buffet! Quite like the style! Hehe... But I was so tired tt I didn't really get to enjoy the food... The waiters are very friendly though.... Keep asking if we wan more food, wan more drinks, teach us what to order etc :) we walked abit at Yi Zhong Jie and by then I was already drifting :) lol then we took the bus back to hotel and slept early for the day.
Day 3
We woke up super early to go to alishan... Then train ride is not bad :) and we manage to reach the bus station on time and caught the mini bus and headed up to our destination. The bus journey is abt 2 hours 30 minutes... and its quite rocky and the senory is not bad... hehe... it was foggy when we reached xin xin ming su... the ming su ppl is damn nice! haha... they gave us a bigger room and charged us the same price! the bigger room is for like 6 pax de... after which we had our lunch as pao mian and then the ming su ppl gave us directions on how to walk the park... we had a foggy start... and i believed we were lost for quite a while... haha...
i really like alishan... a very different feel and the ppl there are really very nice... haha... i like the forest area! but too bad, we started late and didn't manage to cross the diao qiao... which i was kind of looking for it...
Day 4
we woke up super early to go up the mountain to see the sun rise... the walk is tiring cos its all climbing... haha... and we met a few of those ppl from other ming su and we walked up together... haha... but it turned up that the weather is the same as the day before too foggy to see anything... after returning the hotel, we went off very early and headed to gaoxiong with the route that the ming su ppl suggested
after we arrived chiayi, we took the railway ride and transfer to their mrt and reached our hotel in the afternoon. the ming su is really very very pretty! the best among all the four we have visited... hehe... we went crazy camwhoring before we headed out for shopping. visted xing jue jiang and the one beside it, then went to xi zi wan to eat hai zhi ming, its good! should go and try! hehe... we walked pass a shop full of students... and the food smelled and looked good.. so... we went in for our dinner and headed to liu he night market. its a bit dissappointing cos its all food and nothing else...
day 5
we were late for our hsr and had to change to a later one. didn't even have time to catch our breakfast but lucky they got sell bian dan on the railway and its OISHI!!! heheheehe... we reached our hotel at abt 1 plus and we were late for wu jiao chuang ban lunch... so we went xi men ding for ah zhong mian xian and shop and eat while we check out the place... next, we headed to jian tan station for wu jiao chuang ban for lunch... miramar mall is jus right beside it! the mall is pretty by the outside and the resturant is GOOD! its magnificant and really love the theme! although i went to the one in tainan before but every restrurant theme is different! love it!
and we made friends there! a little ger came to our seat and wanted to play with the water... so we helped to look after her when and where she comes over... and we took a picture together too! hehe.. after dinner we went 101 and its a mad rush and we got to end the visit short cos they are closing for the day. after which we went to room 18 for "clubbing" but we were there too early and the crowd there is sooooooo not high! its a disappointing trip la...
day 6
felt super tired in the morning... we went to pao wen quan! reached the place and visited their musuem... wanted to go pao wen quan... but didn't know where to go so loiter around before deciding on going a hotel to pao... lol... and after we decided then we realised that u will got to be bare body to pao... lol... so all the shy gers were sooooooo shy that some of us decided to go against the rule and some decided to go with the regulations. lol... its an interesting experience la...
after which we went to tan shui and shop and took a ferry to the yu ren ma tou... the bridge is as pretty as usual! hehe... and finally we found all the things we want to do there for instance, the zhou jie lun's yun tun mian and the teddy bear musuem. jus that we didn't get to find the 50 dollar bag shop... which is quite disappointing...
we kind-of-settled our dinner at si ling and went speed shopping there... lol... cos its BIG and we were kind of behind time for it! lol
day 7
breakfast cum lunch at ding tai feng... we wanted to go to wu zhong xian's tang chao... but we were too full for that... lol... then reached the taipei main station and wanted to go shop for awhile but there is nothing much... lol... and we headed to wu fen pu for shopping! after which we dine at a place for their ru rou fan and then walked a big round for liu he night market... quite like the place cos i manage to buy a watch there! hehe
