9th May'07

Hmmm.. okok have not been updating hahaa... Taiwan photos are yet to be ready... Anyway the Taiwan trip is suppose to be the Suprise No.2 for the month of April. As for the third suprise is... *drumrolls* Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... Chiang~! me getting promoted lor hahaa... the long awaited promotion sia... hahaa... hmmm... actually is the pay rise that is the catch lolx..


Ok.. for the Taiwan trip (12th April'07 to 16th April'07)
12th April'07
Day 1

The whole family got up at 8 plus to make final preparations for the trip before we head out to Singapore Changi Airport for our 1345hrs flight.. All the excitement on this 1st free and easy trip to Taiwan filled the hearts of everyone.. So... we arrived nearly 2hrs before departure to go "window shopping" and picture taking in the airport..

Time flies.. We flew too... hahaa... Time arrival at Taipei CKS International Airport was roughly 1700hrs.. After all the necessary paperwork its already 1730hrs and we took a Coach (Guo Guang Ke Yun) to Taipei Main Station ( Taipei's City Metro a.k.a MRT ). There we took their MRT ( Taiwan known as Jie Yun ) to Ximen Station (Ximen Ding) where we book in to Rainbow Hotel ( Chang Hong Hotel ). This is a famous hotel in Ximen Ding. After which, feeling hungry, we unload all the luggages and headed down to search for food... All hungry and cold, we walked for 30mins all directions.. Then.. 45 mins past.. God~... No signs of any Vege stalls around... Desperate.. Disappointed too.. So Big of a place and yet so little of vege stalls.. Cos in our minds Taiwan is suppose to be quite "advance" in vegetarianism and we expected vege stalls to be easy to find.. Haiz.. In the end we turn into a 7-11 convenient shop to get our dinner. (Cup Noodles!!!) Suprisingly.. 7-11 are abundant in Taipei... every other street.. every other corner you'll see one.. Tired and Hungry we adjorn to our hotel to rest. Just as when we reached the lobby i told my family to carry on to shower and rest while i make a 2nd attempt to search for food.. That is already 2145hrs.. I venture further in all directions to scout for any available vege stalls and/or Temple etc etc... finally!! found a temple.. walked in and ask... Argh!! their response was they dunno of any vege stalls around.. OMG... Hopes drenched... proceed to return to hotel.. 2215hrs.. almost reaching hotel... Saw a signboard "Su Su Mian" Woo Hoo~! Food..!!! Lucky... the boss say closing at 2230hrs... bought 2 big bowls of noodle soup back hotel to eat.... End of day 1


13th April'07
Day 2

Woke up 8 plus... found everyone still snoozing away.. concuss again.. 0920hrs my parents are awake... missed hotel breakfast.. cos last timing 0900hrs.. Sis still sleeping... not feeling well... half the day wasted...

1st destination Long Shan Temple (Long Shan Shi) approx. 1130hrsThere we went to visit the temple and took some photos.. its very grand.. it has 1 main hall and a smaller hall both halls offering alot of goddess and buddhas.. So happen that there's a Yue Lao Shen Jun altar.. This houses the famous Yue Lao (Marriage God) so.. of cos i pray there for my 2nd half to appear soon lor hahaa... also taken a red string from the Yue Lao offering table.. Heard its effective in aiding singles find their better half...

Following which.. is Food again hahaa cos its already 1300hrs ++ Lunch... Here at Long Shan Shi Station Vege stalls is alot.. almost the whole street is selling.. so we visited each stalls buying something to share... there's packet rice and dumplings and etc etc etc... *Slurp*... Nice..


2nd destination Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall ( Zhong Zheng Ji Nian Tang )

We once again boarded the Jie Yun and arrived at C.K.S. Memorial Hall Station.. Here we visited the Memorial Hall built for the famous Jiang Jie Shi.. This is one of the must go in our itinery as Jiang was an Atocratic in those days and now in a democratic Taiwan society, they are going to demolish the place.. There we witness the Change of guard parade.. very precise and smart drill.. it makes people wonder how they manage to do it as there isn't any command given execpt in the mid of the drill 2 commands were given "Salute" and "At Ease".. Spectacular 10mins of drills...


3rd destination Dan Shui (Fisherman's Wharf) approx. 1600hrs

Here is the Best Sunset View you can have in Taiwan.. Dan Shui Yu Ren Ma Tou.. Its romantic view of the sea is simply breathtaking.. but dun take too much breath haaa cos just below the Famous Lovers' Bridge(Qing Ren Qiao) is their fishing wholesale area... Fresh caught fishes are traded there... To mark our visit there.. Lots of pictures are taken... especially the seaview...


4th destination Shih Lin Night Market (Shi Lin Ye Shi)

Back to the Jie Yun we proceeded on to Jian Tan Station there we alight and headed to the well known Shih Lin Night Market... True enough as what you see on TV esp Taiwan Variety Programmes.. the Shih Lin Night Market is filled with eateries and stalls selling all kinds of stuffs... There we shopped for lots of stuffs.. clothes.. souvenirs.. local delights(e.g. Muah Chee etc etc ) 3-4 hrs of non stop shopping.. That is roughly a good estimate how big the place is... but of cos.. time taken to squeeze thru the crowd is also inclusive hahaa...

Headed back to hotel to rest at around 2230hrs... Exhausted...


To Be Continued . . . . . . . . Hahahaa stay tuned...
