Part 2 is here!!!
WELCOME TO TAIWAN!DAY 4
We head to Miali country Jhiohan-Taisan Leisure Farm. We were welcome with rows of Tomatoes and cucumber. We were there to enjoy a morning of fresh fruits picking. My mom and Granny were exhilarated by the fresh fruits. They started to pick and pick till the whole baskets were almost full. Take Note: Those fruits were NOT FOC. Wadever we picked, we pay for it. The basket is SOOO Heavy la which is contributed by the fresh cucumbers. I WARNED THEM!!!
In the middle i was warning them, its so HEAVY! " Dun tell me you guys wanna bring all this back to Sin". They dun listen and kept plucking!
Aft paying and getting on the coach, they started to get worry and decided to finish some of the vegetables to lighten the load.
No Insecticides vegetables. Very healthy CucumberWe Journeyed all the way to Tai pei. The capital of taiwan! The place i've been waiting to go. So excited can!!! The 1st place we went was "TAIPEI 101". The highest building in the world right now. The shopping there is wayy too exp! so we went to eat instead. Their basement is exactly like Taka. Food Paradise. Their food is very nice!!! Very different frm Night Market and suited our taste buds! I miss the food over there!! Can't forget their Mua chee! some of our tour members went up to "Taipei 101" but of course must pay money la..
Aft 101, we went to Shilin Market. Another place ive been awaiting to go!! Left 101, 101 at night was super nicely lighted up.
The Magnificent TAIWAN 101
I was not supposed to take this photo. Aft this shot, i was being stopped. haha. Anw, it's all branded stuff inside.
Big Bowl Noodles. All their food portion are Huge and looked real Yummy.
Taipei 101 Lits Up!
We only had an hr to settle our so call dinner at Shilin. One hr is definitely nt enough. The place was crowded!! and lots of food stalls La..the space inside were v cramp. We ate the famous Ji Pai. Super damm big can!!! My mom bought 2 pieces for 3 pplp sharing. But no matter hw much i ate, it jus can't seems to finish!! And the more i ate, the more sick i was to the Ji Pai. Sucks! Oily! We also ate the (I dunno wad is it call-was recommended by 1 Taiwanese which queues behind my mom) Popiah skin plus lots of nuts inside it, was actually quite nice. See, Taiwanese are nice pplp! Often, we get lots of opinions from them. Because they're nice that's why we dare to open our golden mouth to ask them for opinions wad is nice to eat, where is worth gg for shopping, Blah!~
Shilin Night Market. It's too dark, therefore the wordings can't be seen. Saw the long queue, all queuing for that Yucky Ji Pai, dunno why they think is nice..
They even had an arcade in the market, the basketball machine damm popular in taiwan.
& Many many many Taiwan snacks!
Can u infer frm this pic HOW big that Ji Pai was!?I Only love one snack over Shilin. Their Pearl Milk Tea!!!!! The milk tea was totally different frm S'pre, nicer 80% agreed with QX!!! With the generosity of PEARLS and a huge cup, the experience of that drink was memorable! With our bulging tummy, the tour guide brought us to "XI MEN DING"!! The place full of teenagers! That place was way too cool. I will go there again. Really full of teenagers and WEIRD teenagers, some of them wore wig and dress like..anime. So funny. haha. But the shopping there alil ex, almost same like Sin. Oh, and i bought a skirt in Xi Men Ding.
Streets of Xi Men Ding.
I was So amazed by this!! Three stories ALL filled with Neoprint Machines!!! Almost the same pricing as Sin, i went to see one. But i think the machine might be more advance than wad we saw here.
Aft our 1 .5 hr shopping again, we went to check in to our Taipei hotel. As it was around 10+ when we went hme, i decided to roam around in Taipei for shopping!! I mean it's quite a waste rite, come all the way to Taipei and slp so early. Our plan was to go to Wu Fen Pu, bck to Xi Men Ding or the night market opp Shilin which another Taiwanese recommended us. We went to ask the recep of our hotel with our huge map of Taiwan. She then helped us navigate which place is the closest to our Hotel and to my delight, IT'S WU FEN PU!!!! cos when i looked at the map, wu fen pu looks far. But, Phew. i was sooo HAPPY. Due to my Taiwan knowledge frm the TV, Wu fen Pu sells crazily cheap stuff and it's smt like a wholesale st. It's true, it have abt 1000 shops. But when we reached there, it's like coming to 11.30. we shopped till 1am. Shockingly, i did not get anything for myself but there is smt for my Bf and my bro.
Such a pity la; we got no time to shop, when we alight we only concentrate on a st. which i believe there are much better stuff at the other Sts.
On the way bck by Taxi, i saw "Xiao Ju Dan". It's Huge La!! And super nice, i was unsure of it at the beginning but suspect it's xiao ju dan, so i asked the taxi driver and it cmfs my suspicion. So beautiful la. Slept at 2am that night.
DAY 5
Went to visit the C.K memorial Hall & marty's shine. Nth Much la...just witness how tight the security is and the memorial hall. dun realy know wad is it. But one of the body guards was so Handsome!! So cute La.. Alil look like honky. I pluck my courage to take a Pic with him. Ha. Didnt knew where my courage came frm! My mom was like so stun. BUT I DID IT!!
It was scarry in the beginning when i asked him, but phew, he agreedd, Not really Very Willingly as wad i depicted frm his expression, but, Wadever La) I got his pic. Hee.
C.K Memorial.
Men in uniformed Marching. Seriously dunno wads the reason, jus take it as some show..Lol. The pic on the right hand corner jus shows hw many pplp were so fascinated by them. haha
Cannot touch their rifle or they will get angry and slammed their rifle. I've witnessed that due to itchy hands of other tourists.
Ah HA, My cute guy. Ur think he's cute!?? Or is it ME?Well..i think he's quite attractive to me with his Black Suit! My Mom was asking me where's my the other hand, is it i put on his waist. My mom think too highly of me la! Haha
Second Place was, GU GONG! This was familiar too! It's a scene where Xiao Ma (Kingone) expressed his love for Lu Yi in the drama "Wish to see u again'. Haha. The place was basically a museum exhibit for Chi Jade, and those precious stuff used in the old days.
Gu Gong!
Finally i ate my LONG ice cream.This was not considered long, i saw someone ate a super duper Long wan, and aft walking 1 step all tumble down! Haha. then the uncle do it again for him.
Tasty BBQ Sontong!!! But, unhealthy. Really very nice with the BBQ sauce.
I bought one at hme, which is the melody. havent eat yet!Mai Ya Tang!
Went to visit a bridge, opps, kinda forgot wads e bridge call. But i know smt to do with Love again. Haha.
I think it's call Love bridge or smth.. haha
I realized that we the tour forgot to bring us to a place!! I think is due to the lack of time la. We didnt go Mirama Ferries Wheel shopping centre, the Huan Huan ai ferris wheel. haha.
Traveled all the way back to Kaoshiung by a mixture of Coach and Train!
We were asked to try to highest speed bullet train ride from Taipei to Taoyuan and frm there, we will ride the coach back to Kaoshiung. When we arrived there, night already falls. The tour guide asked everyone to rest early, but for me, It's impossible! No shopping at all for that day so...My mom and me again with the help of the reception went to Liu He night Market. Haha.
That night we shopped till 3am! But they closes at 4AM! Crazy right. I missed the dumpling at Liu He Ye shi,super nice eh!! aww..Missing it soo much!
Our Tix!
Pplp wanna come their own to Taiwan and wanna travel to other places like, Tai zhong/Kaoshiung can take this train, which is fast in speed, but price wise, nt v sure, if nearby shl nt be too exp!
The lady beside me, sadly, was not friendly at all, compare to the person who sat beside my Ah man and mom clicked off a conversation jus aft seated down! HAHAOh, i forgot to mention, we went one of the Pixiu shop(A creature with a Dragon head and a Lion Bod which was said to bring luck to pplp). That was one of the most interesting talk over there. They discussed abt Fengshui Blah~ Abt how pplp should position when they're sleeping, the importance of names. So aft the talk, i gave my names to the person cos i was interested, so they helped to count the strokes and explain so call the well being of the five elements in me. They started of telling me that i have a Guy Life den she tell my mom dun see her so gentle but she have a guy life. Haha, which is kinda true la..hee..cos of my temper and...err...behavior at home. Hehe
Next, my carrer, which gave me alil assurance cos it's positive but my beginning of the path will be difficult as told by the woman. Following on was my parents, when she told me i was like..gg to tear cos quite touching but also feel awarkard that my mom beside me, next, was my Love life. HAHA this was funny!! The person said my other partner would be Tall, quite gd looking but very playful. I was thinking does that description match my bf. In e end she added a sentence "If that person u think is not THE ONE, no use continue the r/s" so scarry la, i heard this sentence. But i also had bad points la which is i lack the elements of land "Tu". All her words mingled in my mind the whole day till now, i'll nv forgot wad she said.
DAY 6 (LAST DAY)
We were happy that we were given instructions to wake up alil later. Due to last nite late shopping, my mom and i both felt fatigue. But Last day le, so ..jus hang on to it! Did a lil free & eazy on our own. Went to their market in the morning, when my ah ma buying pants, the shop keeper kept looking at me and den ask my mom is it her daughter. Then he suddenly told my mom how gd my career life will be gd nxt time, i was like kinda shock cos in my mind i was like.....How cld i believe this old uncle tending this kinda shop in this kinda place but it kinda impact me. My mom then asked how did he know and he said he know how to see alil of Mian xiang. I felt ........weird lor, wad was in my mind was, "True or Not True" but it did inspire me to go far, to challenge myself.
Our tour guide met with us and we head to a departmental shop -talee. We saw great deals at Bossini -Taiwan and bought again! This time my mom finally bought something for herself. felt happy for her, or else everytime im the one buying for myself.
Oh.. forgot to emphasize on this. Their Toilet was called "Hua Zhuang Shi"- Make up Room!??? Ahh.. Haha..1st time my tour guide told us Hua zhuang shi is over there, i was wondering..Huh? make up rm... for wad!?
At TaLee's Toilet- Sparkling Clean.
