Hello! I am back from my Taiwan trip! I would say that this trip is sure an eye-opener for me as I have not been to anywhere further than Thailand. I love the culture in Taiwan! The weather, the people, the food and the scenaries!

I will break down my trip into about 4 separate posts, bear with my yea?

Day 1

Woke up bright and early for my my flight. Flight is at 8.30. We reached the airport extremely early too!Us, while waiting for sky train to go to Terminal 3. Eek! Look at bf's tummy. *hiak hiak* Then, we boarded the plane. China airline wasn't that bad. Just that it's a little squeezy.Hiak hiak! I watched Marley and Me while on the plane. Awesome show. Did not fail to make me tear. But still, book is better. Wee.. On our way to Taipei!There were some frost on the glass while the plane was cruising. I find it extremely pretty!
Finally, after 4 hours of stoning, we reached! So happy! The moment we stepped out of the airport, brrrrr, it's like air-conditioned in the whole country. Super shiok! Love the weather. We proceeded to our hotel, Paradise Hotel, a 15 min walk from Xi Men Ding.Bf and Gary in the van who fetched us from the airport to the hotel.The hotel exterior. It does looks a little run-down but I feel that it is ok because the interior is fine.Hotel Lobby.Room interior. The room is very cosy albeit a little small. The bathroom is pretty basic too. Nothing much. But I feel that as long as they have space for us to put our stuff, a dressing table, a nice blanket, it is good enough. I would recommend this hotel to other people who is on budget tour. Though they do not prvoide those kettle for ya to boil water, you just have to walk to on end to get it from the dispenser. Put down our stuff in the hotel, rest and we proceeded to Taipei main station to walk walk look look see see.

It was drizzling when we walked out of our hotel. It is extremely extremely cold!We walked to the train station!Taiwan people are really civilized. They always keep to their right, they allow people to get down from the train before boarding the train, their priority seat is always for the needy, they are extremely quiet in the train. Wah! Singapore totally cannot make it lor. LOL!So we reached Taipei main station and it is still drizzling! We had Lu wei! Taste like kway chap! I like! After that we went to walked around in the rain. The wind is seriously freezing. Even the shopping malls feels warmer then the outside. We then went to another restaurant to have dinner. They have a mountain pig pacing in an enclosed area outside the shop. The restaurant is called "Tun Wu" literally Dolphine House. They sell japanese food and it is damn nice. No pictures of the food though. Hehe!

We then proceeded to Taipei 101 to see see look look.The building's mascot. The mascot sayang-ing my bf. HAHA! After Taipei 101, we proceeded to a nearby night market.This is Tong Hua Night Market. The very first night market we went to. Bought a few tees and tried a few local delicacies. As we had a long day, right after the night market, we proceeded back to our hotel to rest! Thats all for day 1! Day 2 for another day yea? Hehe
