Since everywhere in SG is like promoting Taiwan, I will kick start the tour then!
For me right, I didn't board on a tour. Because it is quite stupid lah, and rush too, I rather do my own research and go to wherever I wanna go! Own time own target!
And Taiwan is the place I always wanted to go! Taipei, to be exact. hehe.
Not really because of the physical tourist attractions, but it is the feeling of taipei itself! It is like suddenly everything from the TV popped out real-life infront of me!
Brought 2 cameras along. Compact and DSLR. hehehe, kiasu much.
Currency exchange is SGD 1 = NT22

[Arrival @Hotel, Taipei Main Station, Ximending Night]
It is Taiwan's National Day, board on SQ 878 plane at 12:25pm terminal 3.
Get window seat yes, but got a freaking side block. URGH. nvm...
And I love air plane food, really, I love it. Singapore Airlines provide free alcohol somemore~ woohoo~ *getting drunk on an airplane~*
Bahhh, it is raining, I keep on praying it won't rain in Taipei when we reach.
Going Taipei with my older sis only. Yeah. She sponsored everything, coolios. But I have to do all the homework lah... haha. Although I never go Taipei before, but being exposed to the media, I know some of the places that really must must go!
So, goodbye Singapore, I'm flying off to Taipei!
But urm, the coke language is ????
Yes that's the thing that block the view... Not nice. So I focus myself on the movie instead. Finished Ice Age Meltdown & Ice Age Dawn of the Dinos!
My international choice. awwww... I missed it, it is so so nice....
Ahhh, Eat finish already up up up, above the cloud and the troposphere~ So nice right! A sea of clouds....
So, 5pm, Taipei and SG have no time difference.Near the seaside is the rural area so you can expect to see padi fields everywhere. And they can have schools that is near the airport one leh, ai zaii...
Yupp, No Doubt. After a 1 hour bus ride, I've reach Taipei Main Station. It is only 6:21pm and I have to use torch light to shine my watch. Not that my watch light spoil lah, but torch more convinient. BUT! 6:30pm only leh!!! It seems like is 8pm!! They have shorter day, longer night! That is why they have more night markets!!
It is 23 degree Celsius over there. Strong Winds & im loving it. There is one interesting thing about Taipei is, almost everyone is wearing a mask. Not bad eh? To protect others and themselves. But I saw one girl with a Patent Mask. YES, those plastic patent black one. Can breathe meh? WLE.
That's me! At Taipei Main station East Gate.
On the cab to our hotel! It is just nearby so cab lah! Anyway the cab is damn cheap. NT70 when you board and NT5 every 300km there after!Comfirm cheaper than SG lah. In taipei, the autobike more than the cabs, the cabs more than the cars! All the cabs are in yellow colour! So there isn't any yellow cars in taiwan! hahahaha.
My hotel, Just Sleep. It is under the Formosa Group, Regent Hotel. Yepp.
& Guess what opposite the hotel, there is a shop call MIRADA.. How nice eh.Miranda shopping in Mirada drinking Mirinda.
