We took the airport shuttle to the airport in the morning. My 2nd time stepping into hk airport, but this time around is flying away! Took a short flight on China Airlines to Taoyuan International Airport. The flight was not too bad, even had hot snacks during the 1++ hr flight. Slept all the way through..shack!
on the bus..
Got a shock once we reached our hotel. The exterior looks a bit sleezy and we need to lug our luggage up the stairs to the lobby!! ~.~" But luckily the room is still not too bad, at least the room is clean, the bed is big & comfy and most importantly, it is very near Xi Men Ding! =)
1st stop: yummilicious lunch at Tamagoya! Then it was shopping all th way at Xi Men Ding!! =)
ke le bing
pork cutlet
the famous Ah Zhing mien xien!!!! damn delicious
jay chow having his autograph session at Xi Men Ding!! And I missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~.~
At night, we went to sing at party world. Don't be mistaken by the party world in S'pore, the tw version is super luxurious! They have room service and even have a toilet inside or room. Cool!! Sing until super shuang!
they have the whole building to themselves..
room service..cool right??
2nd day: a visit to the Gu Gong museum. The museum has a lot of chinese artfacts ranging from the shang dynasty to the qing dynasty to the modern chinese republic.
the mrt in taipei..they call it metro..
stairs to the museum..
lunch at a nice place
After that we went to yang ming shan to enjoy the hot spring! shiok! =)
the whole room to ourselves!At night, we went over to tan shui for a walk before heading to shi lin market. It was full of stuff to buy! Clothes, shoes, food....I haven't had enough of it...=(
3rd day: The search for Wesley's flute shop, which is located at I-forgot-where.. Spent abt half an hour just to find an address which do not even exist. In the end, the shop was located in a building which was quite a far walk from where we stopped ~.~"" But oh well, listening to him playing the flute was good enough to compensate the trip (even though it would be better if he can pla more songs lol!) It was his happiest day out of the trip~~! haha...
After that we went to Wu Fen Pu and Rao he. The place had a lot of shops selling clothes but I still prefer Shi lin. Wu Fen Pu is more of warehouse selling and most of the clothes on sale are now winter clothes =( Can't buy too much else will be wasted in S'pore.
Had a nice dumpling dinner in the midst of heavy rain. The dumplings are much nicer than the ones we had over at the same brunch in HK. But all in all, hk dumplings are still the best!!!
Had a bowl of not very nice fen yuan..I can actually eat awful stuff in taiwan ~o~...
Last day, it was a short visit to Taipei 101. Didn't go up the observatory this time as I went up the other time. Not exactly worth the 2nd time up, especially with the ticket price. Did some camwhoring outside the building before we shopped around Xi Men Ding again for the last time. Argh..4 days just isn't enough for a Taiwan trip!! But oh well, can still go there next time..though not so soon yet..
the red twin!!
me and the ad-hoc lover
