so the second day started bright n early n so did the rest of the days we were there. we cheong till late n woke up early.. abit like in secondary sch very very fun nonetheless. this is me at the subway..
waiting at ximen station for the train to come. its similar to singapore.. but very windy when the train comes..
one of the lesser known nightmarkets. there was nothing much to see or buy there thou.. so just walk walk walk..
one of the many things in taiwan that never fail to amuse me. their signs. like no clothes drying in the park. thought that was quite funny.
i do think they respect their female counterparts alot.. such that they have a special box to stand at while waiting for the train at night. very safe n can catch you on film if you dig your nose.
one of the memorial halls.. the zhong zheng ji nian tang if im not wrong.. the words in chinese say freedom so im trying very hard to act free.
me- the president to be. need i say more?
get very bored of the museum. we found great interest in the wooden chairs. they were our fav exhibit.
one of the many ice parlours.. very good "icekachang". n very affordable n can feed 6.
at the mini museum. me n missus in front of our future house.
the ever majestic taipei 101. but it was raining so we din go all the way up! a pity.
the cake shop just round the corner from our hotel.. called 85degrees. its 24 hours all over taipei.. i wish spore had this too! just one outlet will do!
no reason for this pix. i just think i look quite skinny. haha.
changing of guards. must go at the correct time if not dun have! i think they change every 2 hourly. imagine like somewhere itchy cannot scratch. goodness. i will never sign up for this man!
on the way to jiufen. in the train unlike the mrt kind. this one winds down the country roads. me being the very lazy n sleephead. was asleep for the entire journey. n you can see missus is not very happy.
the first sign we saw when we reached the station. very cute. n direct reminder. haha.
at the one street market at jiufen. its cool n weather was good. alot of good food n interesting stalls n wares.
at fishermens wharf. took a ferry there n at the background is the lovers bridge. one thing there was lovers had to hold hands n walk the entire length of the bridge then you will spend the rest of your lives tgt. imagine how tightly i held on to missus. hahah. but one thing one of the friends brought up. wad if your single, does that mean walking the entire length mean you will be single all your life??!!! lol.
at shihlin night market. was different than i tot. very little ppl too. maybe its cux they have bettter places to be? haha. or we went after dinner time n everyone was already shopping at the next street..
one of the first things we tried. the big sausage wrap small sausage. not too bad at all. missus liked it tremendously cux the big s was glutinous rice.
climbing yangmingshan was tiring n missus wore a DRESS!!! n i was dressed to go town can. haha. this is the very shaky bridge that we crossed. was quite shocked that it started to shake like quite a bit. like very disturbing you know when your only halfway across.
n this was the signboard that i clearly missed. which may have been a good thing cux i would have totally panicked if i saw it before crossing cux for one thing there was more than ten ppl on the bloody bridge!!
the teeny waterfall we walked a million miles for.
ferris wheel at miramar which was featured in one taiwanese drama. very cool. but again was raining so din take.
a little late but this was our hotel room bed. very comfy! n the room was big which is cux we paid quite abit too. hahha. n all the rooms were in diff themes so quite cool.
guess wad this is? nope.. not the one women use during that time of the month thou it seems to be. its really marshmallows in pad packaging. haha. i got chocolate condom ones too. hah.
the ezlink card in taiwan.
last meal in taipei, ximending before leaving for the airport. its korean hotpot i think.
at the airport.. checking in. both of us with our similar couple polo luggages. n my new bag which totally look like my project shop bag. only bigger.
one last photo in the skytrain at hk airport. hahah. which shopping was really good btw. cux for branded stuff theres no tax n all so really quite a bargain if you compare to singapore. so all in all taipei was an experience! very interesting food n signs. haha. if your a foodie then its paradise. if your a girly girl, then theres your shopping paradise. haha.
look out for the next entry!- the gf's party..
