2010 我们の台湾吃喝玩乐旅游计划 , 超HOT玩乐疯 was the name of our travel itinerary file..now everyone in the office wants a copy of it...........nicely done ya thumbs up to Alice, Sherry, SY and CC), so where is our next destination? We can't decide yet due to SY and CC that frequently flying here and there on business trips, gotta wait for them to check on their schedule.
Before we go, gotta say BYE to Meeko, must be guai guai, we will come back fast (hehe, 6 days trip, that's fast). Airport Limo reached on time for my side but not for ladies mentioned above, they were late! Very late! Reason being? The driver couldn't reached them on their mobile and neither for them to reach him! Weird. But as long as they made it, no issue.
It took us around 5 hrs to reach Taoyuan International Airport, it is not pleasent. I couldn't sleep so IPOD (Solitaire and Frenzy Fish Sammy) was my favourite tool on the plane. My first time having food inside the plane -> International Meal, well, not that bad..but the Malaysia Meal, my god, I really don't know what chicken rice was that. Poor B, he got that for his lunch.
小李 our driver was waiting at the airport. He was so nice telling us all the do and don't. So people, please go through the travel itinerary file under Important tab, there are some points there to be seriouly taken into consideration! It was around 3pm, our target was to go to Shilin Homestay (check out the blog here http://taipeihomestay18.blogspot.com/), that's our 1st three nites there. The owner Louise went thru our itinerary and brought us to our 1st spot Shilin Nitemarket. It was very near to the nitemarket, around 3 minutes walk. You know what, she belanja us LenMian and Stinky Tofu. First time I tasted the tofu, not bad. Those that have not try it before, please...try it!
LenMian - The mee is suppose to be eaten cold! (Spicy though...)
My favourite part -> we wanted to try the shaved ice dessert, Louise brought us to the famous shop in Shilin Nitemarket. Check out the pictures below.
Next stop -> to the Miramar Complex where I enjoyed my first ride on the Ferris wheel (see this gal, never go check out the Eyes on Malaysia at all). Here are some of the shots that I have taken. Conclusion: It was a fun + short 1st day in Taipei.
You really think that we just went back to sleep after Miramar? Of course not, we went back to Shilin Nitemarket again for our not-so-full stomach for supper of course! I saw him at nitemarket, the owner said: "B careful, he bites!"...Really? He so cute ler..
This is what we had for breakfast the next day, yum yum. It was very very nice! Ah Fai said: "再来一个吧"....Thanks to Louise for her recommendation.
Now this is what I call HUGE!
Suddenly this fellow came out out from no where ....
The manager of the farm 林冠英 (sounds familiar? hehehe..) told us that we could visit a museum nearby...entrance was FREE at that time since it was newly built. This is how it looks like from far. It looked like "sinking" to the bottom of a lake.
Another breakfast on a sunny day in Taipei...guess what? We met a group of people that were from Malaysia. Now how on earth we noticed them? Hehe, from the way they spoke to each other, sounds like us. The weirdest part was they were from Malacca too!
Next destination -> Taipei National Zoo. Yeap, we wanted to see 團團 and 圓圓 panda. A little bit of dissapointment, it was raining and the pandas were asleep all the time!
