Its a simple breakfast, bread, ham, egg, sausage, congee and few dishes to go with the congee. After filling up our stomach, we left the hotel and start our day. Took the Metro to Taipei City Hall station and found the waiting point for the free shutter bus to Taipei 101 Mall. We waited for more than 30 mins for the shutter bus and see no sign of it. In the end we took a bus instead, paying NT$15 is worth waiting under the hot sun wasting our time. The bus bring us to the foot of Taipei 101. Before going into the high end shopping mall, we did some shot outside. At one of the entrance to Taipei 101 Mall. After walking around the mall for awhile, we reached the 5th floor - the place to purchase ticket and the entrance to the observatory. The ticket to the 89th floor cost NT$350 and the ticket to the 91st floor outdoor observatory cost another NT$100. That day the 91st outdoor observatory was closed for filming. This is the Guinness Record breaking high speed pressurized elevators, 1010 meters / min. Only 37 seconds to reach the 89th Floor. Upon reaching the 89th floor, the staff there will issue you this audio guide which come in eight languages. By entering the number where you are at and bring it to your ear just like a phone, you will hear explain what you see in font of you. The world's largest exposed Wind Damper, weighing 660 metric tons. The movements of the mass damper offset movement in the building caused by strong gusts, reducing the overall effect of the wind on the building. Took a shot each at the bay window. The over view of Taipei City - Shot 1. Shot 2 Some shot from the top, all thing look so mini. Those yellow taxi look like toy cars. Can you figure out what are the red and white thing. They are the tent which is put up for some event. To me this should be some kind of residential building. Do you think they look like lego? The top view of 国父纪念馆 / Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. The bright yellow roof for sure will catch your attention. The sky is very foggy, can't take a clear picture of the 台北小巨蛋. This where most concert of pop singers are held. Head to New York New York (another shopping mall) donut. Mister Donut, highly recommended, so we give it a try. From the display case you can see there are more variety than the donut sell in Singapore. We each choose 2 donut to share, dunno how much it cost us (cos I'm not the one paying). Haha... I think average each is about NT$30 - NT$45. Overall still taste good, worth giving it a try. After finish eating our donuts, we pass by the mini Statute of Liberty. This should be the trademark of the shopping mall. On our way to find a good spot to shoot Taipei 101, we happened to walk pass 台北市政府 / Taipei City Hall. Found a nice spot to shoot the whole Taipei 101 before we leave that area and move on to another place. Still remember this brand? The shop that "stink" the surrounding with fragrant. Since we got bathtub in our room, we decided to have bubble form bathe. When the night came, we went back to 西门町 / Ximending to shop around and look for food to eat. The place is alway crowded with people. Went to Ximending's KFC for a little snack. Tried their fries with cheese and something like rice cracker. The food one must try whenever they visit Taipei, this is what most people said. This is one of the outlet at Ximending. They have quite a few outlet around Taipei. They do not provide any sit and table for their customers. Everyone got to stand around to finish that hot bowl of mee suan. We bought a bowl back to hotel room. I find it quite nice, as this is not my first time tasting, but she doesn't like it. Labels: Oversea Trip Wallace view his life at 11:01 pm
