Taipei Trip Dated 190205 - 210205
Finally I got to update my Taipei Trip which is on the 19/02/05. Juz recieve these pic from Raymond. Din manage to upload the whole lot of photo here, I have uploaded more in Multiple. Click on it to see more photo. I will briefly write abt the trip, as its already quite sometime and I cannot remember in datail le. This Taiwan trip was quite an enjoyable one. But if it's not raining tat will be much better. Its rain from the day I reached Taipei till the day I leave. And according to them, it is not normal to have such bad weather during this period of time. Juz not my luck bah...
 The plane reached the runway and abt to take off...  Here we are in the sky le, see those cotton wool cloulds...  The beautiful sky...  One of the air crew...  The whole view of the plane.  Mi wif some of the air crew...  This is the Taiwan's clould, slightly different from Singapore's.  Another view of the sky over at Taiwan. 190205 Touch down at Taipei's CKS International Airport @ about 6pm. The weather was very bad, its rain and very cold. We took a coach (about $7.50) to meet Raymond's Taiwanese friend (Jimmy). He drives us to the nearby night market to grab something to eat. We ate Taiwan famous chicken chop (ji pai), jian bao, red bean soup and mix pig intestine. I feel most of the food are tasty, maybe I was hungry due to the cold weather bah. Expect the pig intestine, cos I dun eat tat. After filling up our stomach, Jim drives us around to view night time Taipei City. Then we head to his house about 12am. We stayed over @ his place for this trip, so $$$ is save for accommodation. His house was sort of our Singapore condo. The house consists of his wife, an 8 months old baby boy and a maid. He prepared a room and thick blanket for us. After a shower we went straight to bed as tomolo we have to wake up early.  Jimmy & Raymond.  Mi & Raymond.  A view from the top of the temple. 200205 Wake up @ abt 8am, time is precious no time shall be wasted. Becos this trip is very short, so every mins count. Jim asks his maid to get us breakfast while we get ourselves ready for today activity. @ the same time we also spend so time playing with Jim's baby boy. He is so chubby. After our breakfast, we went to fetch Alan up (another Taiwanese friend). After picking Alan up, we went to a hypermarket (RT - Mart) like the Giant or Carrefour. Bought some snack and drink, I bought some strawberry too. Their hypermarket got sell live fishes, this is wat we dun see in Singapore.  You will never see this in Singapore. Look closely, there's a pig head hanging there.  Their Hypermart. Do u knw they dun provide plastic bag for your grocery you bought. You have to pay if you wan. Unlike Singapore, those auntie will take as many as possible. Cos its free mah... They will give u stupid excuse like: "I have to take bus and I have to walk very far". Come on, walk till you drop, the thing in the bag still haven drop lah. Whahaha...  You will only see this in Singapore seafood restaurant not supermarket. Jim drops us at a train station as he got some other things to do. So Alan will take over the job to bring us around. First we bought a one day pass that allow us to take unlimited train ride. The pass was quite cheap only cost abt $7.50 Sin dollar. We took the train to LongShan Temple and we walk to HuaXi Street Night Market. Too bad only few shop open cos its still early. It is similar to Singapore Bugis Street. So we went to LongShan Temple Underground Shopping Street. At least here we dun need to carry umbrella.  We @ the train station  Raymond & mi in the train.  HuaXi Street Night Market.  Mi Then we walk all the way to XiMenDing. This is the hangout place for teenager. The place looks like Singapore Orchard Road, which are full of shopping mall, restaurant and food stall. Every weekend there will be either Roadshow or singer having signture session.  XiMenDing. We shop around and bought oyster mee sua. This stall is so famous tat the queue is so long, and they dun provide proper table and chair for you to eat. Everyone juz stand around holding the bowl and enjoy eating their mee sua.  The famous mee sua.  Look at the mee sua. Drool...  Mi enjoying the mee sua, thumb up!!! Then we came across this stall selling "bing tang hu lu". I bought the one with strawberry, I like it very much. Tot of buying some back, but I afraid by the time I bring back the coat of sugar will melt. I only manage to buy a t-shirt, as I feel the prices here are similar to Singapore. Most of my $$$ are spent on food. Before we head to Shilin Night Market we took the train to the last station DanShui. @ abt 8, we took the train to Shilin Night Market and went into a small stall to have our dinner. As it still raining, it spoilt the mood of shopping at the night market.  The Bing Tang Hu Lu. Nice Nice!!!  Photo taken @ DanShui  Mi again. At night we went to this see some lighting, it is similar to the one at Chinese Garden during lantan festival. All the lantans are made to rooster theme, as this year is the year of rooster. They divided into different category:- pri, sec and college. After tat we took a cab back to Jim's hse.  Lantan...  More lantan...  More more lantan... 210205 Today is the last day of this trip, wake up early to pack our things. Then Jim drive us to this place where there is a small bridge hanging across a river. The bridge look so run down, look like its going to fall anytime. At first I was quite scare, but after awhile I feel fine liao.  If you can't read the notice, it mean only 3 pax can be on the bridge at one time. After tat we head to another place call WuLai. There is a beautiful waterfall and you can find sakura everywhere. A very nice place for couple to come and good for photography.  Alan & mi  Mi  Mi with the waterfall & sakura.  The grand waterfall... We went to a restaurant to had our lunch before head to the airport. Reached the airport @ abt 6pm, check in and we are back to Singapore @ 11+. Here I have to thank Jimmy and Alan for bring us around and Jim you are a good host.  Not to forget, he is Jim baby boy. So cute... Labels: Oversea Trip
