Taiwan for New Year 2012!

Gonna briefly note down the things we did:

Day 1
We reached Changi Airport at around 5.30~6.00am, checked in our luggage and had mac breakfast. Following which we board the plane and by the time we reached tw Taoyuan Airport was around noon. Searched for the youth card registration details and free-go bus from airport to hotel (of course, and also how we should travelled from hotel back to Taoyuan on the last day). By the time we checked in to Pink Lotus Hotel was around 3~pm. We went for a steamboat lunch/dinner nearby which had 甘蔗汤 (which I don't understand because the stock didn't taste extra sweet like sugar cane juice would) and free-flow salad bar. Nightfall comes early during this time of the year and it was quite dark by the time we left the restaurant. And we went to 士林夜市。

Day 2
Exploring the hot spring facilities after breakfast
淡水 (bought the tall ice-cream, a puff full of red bean paste, ah gei and 铁蛋 )
渔人码头
Photo-taking day  ^_^v ^_^v ^_^v ^_^v
Steak, bead and soup dinner.

Day 3
Breakfast at hotel before we checked out and moved to Kingshi Hotel at Xi Men Ding.
Wanted to visit the SM Entertainment store but forgot to note down the exact address.
Walked around Taipei Main Station.
Xin wasn't feeling well so xin and jac went back to the hotel first while sm and I walked through the shops at Taipei Main Station and went to Ferris wheel! Rushed for dinner because we wanted to get back in time to queue for the only all-around transparent carriage. So scary inside! Viewed the night scenery of Taipei. Bought Digimon Movie 1. Legs gave way so we went back to have dim sum supper.

Day 4
Tour Taipei day! We went to the SM Entertainment and bought the rest of the digimon movies (I find it funny that when others go SM Entertainment store to buy merchandise for their idols, we were there to buy digimon cartoon movies). Next, we went to J ay Chou's Secret Theme restaurant! wee~ One of my fav movies. :) Following that was the visit to Taipei 101 and 饶河夜市。

Day 5
Originally planned to go Jiu Fen but it was raining all morning and the weather forecast predicted that there will be 80% chance of rain.Thus, we started our morning with k-singing at party world. I find it nice that there is a personal toilet attached to the room. Funny that Xin and sm decrypted that taiwan "han yu pin yin" into our chinese "han yu pin yin". This made our finding for songs easier. Next, we went to watch the guard changing ceremony and ding tai feng for lunch/dinner. Ended our last night by scouting food at 士林夜市 。

Day 6 (Last day)
Sm and I went back to Taipei Main Station to look for the souvenir keychains and we had our last of 50 lan2 milk tea and food before we went back to xi men ding to do the last minute shopping. Bought Ah Zong Mian Xian to airport to eat. Much comfort from the warm food :) Bought bread as well. Cold feet on the airplane. Had supper at mac before we left.


We will learn from our mistakes and improve together, love. <3
