Taiwan Trip part 1

This is the destination of my 4 1/2 hour flight.

This is where we stayed for the first night , at 北投。It is a place that has hot springs so we stayed at a hotel that has hot spring. I am telling u the water is freaking damn hot i really donno how my dad n bro managed to soak their whole body in the water i had to add a bit of cold water before i managed to get in !

Well shall write my blog first then upload the rest of the pics when i get back to s'pore cause my com is having probs in taiwan.

1st day: Well we did pretty much nothing on the 1st day cause we reached taiwan at about 6 plus, then took about 1 hour plus to reach our hotel. Then we decided to walk around the town and we had sushi for dinner whoooo it was expensive we spent about $680 on the dinner! haha of course it was in taipi so i was just joking.then we went back to the hotel n did spa cause we stayed in a spa hotel.

2nd day: We proceeded to taipei n went to do a little bit of shopping but we spent most of the afternoon looking for the stupid place to collect xiao zhu's concert tickets. when we finally found it the lady told us that the com was spoilt so we had to go to another place to collect it so we spent another 40 mins walking around like lost mice looking for the place. After that it was already about 5 so we went back to the hotel to wash up n after that it was off to 小巨蛋！turned out i was a little bit too kiasu the concert was suppose to start at 7.30 but as i was scared that we couldnt find the place we went in at 7 n the concert didnt start till 8 so we spent an hour sitting there watching people come in. no pics was allowed but i managed to snap a pic of the stage shall post it up later.The concert was superb what can i say! he is the 舞王 so obviously his stage presence would be really good, but what i hated was the fireworks everytime they explode they would give me a great big scare cause i would be so mesmerized by xiao zhu n suddenly there would be this big loud explosion that would send me jumping off my seat. but overall the side effects was really good. after the concert my bro surprised me with a mirror that he bought when i was watching the concert he was like happy belated birthday! n he gave me a show on stage mirror! cause he knew that i lost my xiao zhu mirror previously. wanted to buy some xiao zhu stuff but my mum was rushing us into the taxi cause she said that later on when everyone comes out there would not be any taxis left, so i didnt managed to get anything at all.sad.

3rd day:well today we went to the famous 101. turn out to be a super boring place. but still managed to waste the whole afternoon there. had dim sum for lunch at this really posh place wanted to take some photos but was too 不好意思. then my mom went into this crystal shop n a piece of red crystal in the shape of a butterfly cum heart caught her eye. so she decided to buy it giving the excuse to my dad that we were going to share it cause he was apying for it .please when would i ever wear that kind of thing.it cost a bomb bout $150(sin) but she insisted that it was cheaper then singapore that was why she bought it there. then at night we went to 士林夜市。played lots of games there n ate lots of street snacks n my bro n i each bought a new jacket! well went round hunting for shoes but turned out that every pair that i liked didnt have my size,apparently my feet was too big, then my mum kept asking me to buy the men designs. well i feel that the nike in taiwan should produced bigger sized shoes for women.

4th day:we kinda spent the whole day on the bus cause we were going up to the mountains so the bus ride took bout 5 hours in total. had kfc for lunch cause we had to rush for the bus n it was right next to the bus station. The bus ride up the muntain was HORRID cause the road was bumpy n winding. n cause we changed to a smaller n older bus to go up the moutain so everytime there was a bump the whole bus would shake .After we finally reached the hotel we went to feed ourselves to the fishes ! cause my mum specially booked a hotel that had the fish spa where the little fishes would nibble on your dead skin. well when we stepped into the pool nearly all the fishes swam towards my mum after a while cause she had the most dead skin! only the smaller n weaker ones that cant fight with the bigger ones came to us .Then we went to have our dinner at the jap restaurant in our hotel. then we went to explore the vilage n bought lots of muachi n other stuff.oh ya my mum wanted to buy tea for my ah ma so we went drinking tea. dont get what is so nice about chinese tea all i can taste is bitterness n they r like mhhhmmmm this tea is very nice then we had to smell the tea leaves n all that. didnt really like it at all, n it was so ex $60(sin) for about 500 grams of tea leaves. well today was the first day i watched 百分百 in taiwan.

5th day:We proceeded down the mountain to go to 九族文化村. it is a theme park . had kfc for breakfast.well the theme park was huge but the thing is it was mostly forest 。so the actual area of play is very small, n the rides were all very short so in about 3 hrs u can say that we pretty much covered everything in the theme park.then after that went searching for a hotel to stay for the night cause we didnt book one in advance, after dinner we went walking round n once again ended up in a tea shop drank more tea n bought more tea .then went back to watch xiao zhu again yeah!!!!

6th day:had kfc for breakfast again, n spent the whole morning in the bus cause we went back to taipei. stayed at the same hotel again. then went down to 西门町. went shopping again.then my dad wanted to go to a 夜市. so we tried to explore by ourselves. the tourist map stated that there is a one there so we went there but when we reached there we found out there was no 夜市 in sight at all! we got conned!!! but it was all right cause we found this realy nice restaurant there ,there was too many people in the restaurant so we decided to take away .

well thats pretty much what i did when i was in taiwan shall add whatever i missed out later on .cat! i played the basketball machine every single day here in taiwan!!! can go back n pk already haha cause ur blog said that u went arcading :), n going to hound u for my album when i go back !!!!haha!
