Listening to ♥五月天♥ songs while typing this post…
Stopped my previous post with Taiwan Day 4, have been so lazy to update my blog that’s why I have been back from TW for like few months and I have yet to finish my updating. Oh No! So I have decided to just squeeze Day 5 to 7 in this post as much as possible…
Day 5 – First day of 2010, visited this Marble Factory before proceeding to Taipei. At that factory actually nothing much, all statue just that different design nia… And the cutest thing there is the Mickey Mouse Statue, the rest was still okok.
Hopped onto the bus to go to the next stop, which was 花蓮Railway Station but before that we stopped by to buy Bento for lunch caused we would be having our lunch on the train. Was my first time taking 火車in my life, taking to 瑞芳 whereby we would travelled up to 九份 upon reaching the station.
Train Tix
Train journey was still good, quite comfortable. And we had our Bento on board =)
Finally reached the destination, traffic was damned jammed caused it was PUBLIC HOLIDAY and there was damned many many many people at 九份 so crowded that it was so difficult to walk =X But lucky I managed to buy my Sun Biscuit and Pineapple Tarts there, it’s really tough carrying so many boxes down. Caused there was way lot of people waiting for the public bus that drove the people down so we decided to walk down to our bus destination…
Went to 中正紀念館 before heading to 西門町 for dinner and shopping!!!
STAYREAL here I come!!!
Reached 西門町 then was free time, so decided to hunt for STAYREAL store lucky my guide was kind enough to help me find the location of the shop though she also not that sure where is it located at. But in the end we managed to find the shop and bought my Tees there then next stop was to hunt for STAGE. STAGE is located at a damn ulu places, whereby if you never walked down the dark pathway you wont noticed that it is located at there =.=
Shopped too long or should I say used too much time to located those 2 stores and we have super little time left for food, end up takeaway back to the hotel to slowly enjoy the food.
Didn’t took much of the food pix… So shall not post here…
Back to hotel, this time round staying there for 2 days, at Holiday Inn. Caused I think the normal rooms isn’t enough so we got to stay in the Executive Suites, somemore caused only we staying at the Suites so the tour guide have to distribute all the other cards to the others before telling us. Stayed till so secretive =p But I like the Executives Suites caused its like an Apartment whereby there is 2 bedroom, living room and a toilet. Super NICE!
In the middle of the night, went down to the 7-11 to buy 便當 again! I have been eating supper every night in Taiwan =X They really should bring in those food to our local 7-11, then it would be great!
Day 6 – Breakfast in the hotel, not bad =) Then headed to YEHLIU GEOPARK overall was quite ok, but one thing that I don’t like is the CHINA Tour group that we encounter there. Took their own sweet time to take photo when there is a super long Q behind them and my guide nearly scolded them. LOL.
Next to 漁人碼頭and情人橋 before going for lunch and to 忠烈祠 to see the marching then to the boring 故宮博物館 (No photo taking allowed)
Looks like slippers =p
士林Night Market for that night, caused was drizzling so was kind of difficult to walk and there was many people. =.= How come everywhere so many people… =.= They have alot of UFO catcher there and is quite cheap but I did not managed to catch any, can grab the toy but when it is reaching the outlet there it jerked and dropped =.= Bought my Slip-on socks there, cheap! Regret sia, should buy more back =(
Last stop for the day, visited Taipei 101. Basically all is branded goods, so means I cant afford any so went to the opp. mall and managed to buy clothes =D
Tiffany and Co. Xmas Tree!
Daily night routine again, Supper @ 7-11 Bento and magazine shopping @ 7-11 too =D
Day 7 – Last day in Taiwan =( So fast can, somemore flight is in the afternoon so cant go far place also. So settled down at the nearby and finally found Watsons again, caused I haven help ZH and MT buy her stuffs so did a last minute shopping and happily shopped till I realized there is an extra Hotel Card in my jacket pocket and the check in time was 12noon, the time I realised was around 1150am. Somemore the walking time from hotel to Watsons was like 15min, have to run like crazy back to the hotel to passed the card to my auntie before 12noon so that we wont be charged for extra… =.= Omg, its like so long since I last run, finally managed to pass the card on time and then I rushed back to Watsons to continue doing my last minute shopping.
I was sweating when the weather was like 10 degree =.=
Group photo before heading to Taoyuan Internation Airport!
We have a total of 10 or 11 checked in items which does not include our hand carry, so was kind of worried that it would be overweight. Lucky we were in Groups so no need to worry that much caused not everyone have so many items to check in. So this is an advantage of joining group tours =p
Lunched @ Mr. Brown Cafe and we saw the famous 玫瑰唱片行 but the price is kind of same as SG, so never buy anything =p
My tour guide =)
This is the end of my 7 Days Taiwan Trip, GoodBye Taiwan =(
I would be back soon, when I got money =D
Shopped at SG DFS upon reaching, bought Gucci Envy Me. At first wanted to buy Ralph Lauren perfume but they don’t have the one I wanted =(
