DAY 1
Reached airport in the morning and the queue for Tiger Airways going to Taiwan was quite long. Must be the school holiday which caused this.
Met up with mummy and auntie's family. After checking in, we went into the transit area to have our breakfast.
My breakfast (:
Finally heading to TW (:
After getting our new prepaid card (EACH SIM CARD ONLY VALID FOR 180 DAYS), we went to our hotel, XIMEN HOTEL.
To our surprise, the room is very small and level 5 (which we believe that the rooms have yet to undergo renovation) look very 'lok kok' & old.
We decided to walk around to see if there are other hotels to change.
First, we walked to Ximending and have my 阿宗麵線 which I didn't get to eat back then.
MEE SUA!!!
After walking and asking around, there wasn't any place for us to move over. After all, we have too many people and needed 4 rooms. Sigh~
Oh well, we definitely can make do with whatever we have.
We went back to the hotel and rest before heading to 士林夜市 (Shilin nightmarket) for food. We were trying the food as we walked down the whole stretch of stalls.
This store sells good smelly tofu. Should try, it's crispy and nice (:
大肠包小肠.
I thought that's like pig's organs but it ended up to be rice in the shape of sausage wrapping a sausage. LOL.
蚝煎. Oyster omelette.
Don't really like it as the sauce was covering the whole dish's taste.
After eating, we went back and rest.
Bb and I went to the pub which we went the other time to look for Seven 哥. He wasn't there so we chilled and played darts before heading to PartyWorld to find him.
The room in PartyWorld is quite cool and they have a toilet inside. So convenient for people who are singing inside.
That night, we met some new friends from HK. It's really pleasant to meet them and to talk about our own countries.
Friends from TW and HK (:
DAY 2
First stop of the day: Long Shan Temple 龙山寺.
The temple.
Decoration outside the praying area.
女娲开天辟地。From some Chinese Legend: Nu Wa.
We went in and prayed to many different gods.
Saw 月下老人's statue and there were some red strings. I hesitated about taking the strings. But in the end, I didn't take.
After that, we went to 鬍鬚張台北永吉店 (Formosa Chang Taipei Yong-Chi branch) for lunch before shopping at WuFenPu.
This time, there wasn't much things for us to buy.
I didn't buy any clothes there, or rather, most of us didn't buy anything there even though it's supposed to be Spring season's designs.
In addition, it's difficult to shop with many guys around. We can't be staying in the shop for very long and let them wait outside the shop :/
Since there weren't anything much for us to buy, we went back to Ximending. Bb and I dropped at Zhongxiao Fuxing to buy things from SOGO before heading back to hotel.
Mummy bought this for us.
Mini doughnuts (:
Surprisingly, the weather in Taipei was very cold even though it's supposed to be spring. Probably colder than my house's air conditioner. I don't even feel like getting out of the hotel.
寒い！
At night. we went to 三和夜市(san he nightmarket) for dinner.
We alighted at the wrong stop and we ended up have to walk in this freezing weather (we didn't really bring much clothes for such weather, especially for my case.)
Fried Onigiri with pork floss.
We tried to look for the bubble tea shop which we bought back in our last trip but we couldn't find it. Sigh~ what a waste. I really love the black sugar milk tea.
After going back, Allen, Bernard, Bb and I changed before heading to Club Luxy. It's Ladies night!
The lighting in the club.
To me, I don't really fancy the club though it has very nice lightings.
The music - Literally playing the whole song. Even when the DJ was there to spin, it's still quite bad.
Drinks - Unlike Singapore's clubs, their cocktails are really limited to the menu itself. They don't even know what's Jaggerbomb and AK47.
The crowd - Quite a number of locals and foreigners (Asians & Caucasians).
I even got picked up by some Taiwanese guys, asking if they can offer me drinks.
It's really scary, especially when this is not my homeland and I only have 3 guys with me.
After chatting a little, I slipped off, texting the guys to come over to the ladies to meet me before heading back to the hotel.
We bought some beers and food back to enjoy abit more (:
DAY 3
It's 17 degree Celsius and it's freaking cold out there.
By right, it shouldn't be that cold but the wind was way too strong.
My super thick jacket which I used in lecture hall didn't really work. Tempted me to buy some winter wear to keep myself warm.
In the afternoon, we went to 淡水老街 (Danshui) to walk around. As usual, we brought Auntie's family to try the food which are unique in the area.
Of course, we ended up buying lots of food to give away.
Too many till we have to carry it back to hotel before going other place.
At night, we went to 公馆夜市 (gong guan nightmarket).
It's not exactly a nightmarket but they do sell food along the alley.
We went to a shop to have our dinner.
Dinner! (Sorry, I forgot what's the shop name. It's at one end of the alley).
Strawberry waffles.
After dinner, we went back to hotel to rest.
Here are the things which I bought for the first 3 days:
Popteen; April issue.
Lingerie and Nightgown.
Jill Stuart products (:
Accessories.
And my cute Hello Kitty Hoddie (:
Ok, that's all for now.
With Love,
Selina ほたる
