Taiwan Trip (Taipe) Day 5

Our last day in Taiwan (according to our itinerary)... So we went to Taipei Main Station to buy those tai yang bing and feng li su from 李儀餅店! I love the milky tai yang bing! Recommend to get it, and get more too! Also, we went to the atas shopping mall to have our atas lunch. Food taste is quite nice too!

We went back to Ximending to do a last minute shopping! As typhoon is coming, the wind is really strong, my hair went all over the place! 

Went to have our dessert, shaved ice! 幸春三兄妹冰品店 It recommended in other blogs that is nice, to be honest, its so-so only, I would prefer the Mango Shaved Ice Dessert Store, which is few shops away! Well, the serving is bigger, top up few dollars more, but the taste and flavour is much nicerrrrr. 

Went to shop in Ximending for the "last round", and bought boxes and boxes of masks!! THE MASKS REALLY DAM CHEAP. ONE BOX THERE COST ABOUT SGD$4?!?!?!?!? Mass buy! :)))) After shopping, we walked back to our hotel to pack up our luggage and travel towards the airport! For the sake of saving money, we took metro to Taipei Main Station again, with our 17kg weight of luggage, carried there.... At first we wanted to take the public bus to airport, but we met the same merz uncle (from day 1), who offered us 450NTD instead of 900NTD (market price). However, halfway through the journey, sidi parents whatsapp her that our flight was FREAKING CANCELLED because of typhoon. & they have kind enough to help us to book the EARLIEST flight which is on the 12 Aug, (5 days later). Screw Scoot man!!!! BECAUSE THEY FREAKING SENT US AN EMAIL UNDER THE "PROMOTION" SECTION IN GMAIL - which OBVIOUSLY we won't look into it! :( So poor thing, we had to travel back to Ximending AGAIN.

I don't know is it good or bad, we didn't scream or whatsoever, just being calm, and go back to ximending. But the amount of money we have is just 2000NTD++ within the 3 of us. We went back to dreamhouse hotel but there were no vacancies left.. Fortunately, they had this -link- hotel, "holiday inn" hotel, few streets away... BUT the hotel there is rather worst! The toilet stink. Room slightly smaller since its for 2 persons. BUT AT LEAST WE ARE SAVED IN TAIWAN, SORT OF READY OF TYPHOON. LOL.

After settling down our baggages, we went to the convenient store to pack our food for the next few days. Instant noodles, biscuits, drinks, Tibits - our favourite Lays seaweed flavour. 

-pathetic us-

Well, because we can't celebrate SG50. (Not like we did celebrate normal national day previously, but just, well, unlucky I guess. But, blessing in disguise, at least we are still okay! 

Being so crazy in hotel, we sang NDP songs! LOL. Wanted to upload the funny videos here, but I need to resize it first.......

WE ARE STILL SAFE AND HAVING FUN THERE!

Taiwan Trip (Taipei) Day 4

We took a cab to Jiu Fen Gold Mine Museum! Slept throughout the journey as well. Taxi Uncle is rather nice too, to help us take a photo. 

Touched the gold, may the money and luck comes to us! This place is packed of tourists!

Took a bus to ying yang hai. To be honest, its dam inaccessible. The frequency of the bus is SLOW. Almost an hour waiting for it. Usually, the taxi drivers will be nearby at the bus-stop to advise us to take their cab if we want to go other places. 

Nature view~ 

Look at the colours of the rocks~

Finally we saw the Ying Yang Hai ! Time to alight. SUPER ULU. There's no vehicles around that area, except those cargo and public transport bus that comes every one hour? 

Walking towards the sea...... 

So beautiful~~~ but I think we are still dam far from that sea. LOL.

 

Since there are no people to help out take photos, so we had to place the camera on top of some traffic light pole. Beautiful selfie~

The place where tourist will come when visiting Taipei - Jiu Fen lao jie! A place filled with people as well as local food. Nom Nom! 

Best 滷肉飯, tasted in Taipei ! A MUST TRY FOOD! 

赖阿婆芋圓 ! NICEEEEEEEEEEE. #JSX去台湾 6/8/15 (left our marks there)

Climbed up to the highest to look at the scenery. 

Simply said, dessert at least a day is a must. Chocolate chip ice cream in doraemon pancake! 

Took a bus to Rui Fang Station followed by TRA to go Shi Fen. The train is long, and had to wait about 30 mins for the next train. Also, the train is squeezy, packed with people! Long journey ahead~ Not to mention the gloomy weather... 

Finally reached Shi Fen! 

Selfies with the railway track. LOL. Typical tourist.

Shops that sells the same mini lantern souvenir. Got these with LED light and sound!

While waiting for train back to Taipei Main Station, had this fried squid! SUPER NICE! Thank god we tried it!

Last stop, Shi Da Night Market. Nothing much to shop in this night market, some of the cafe and restaurant there were rather expensive, so, we decided to have this ramen, each big bowl is about 200-300NTD. (About the same price as Singapore)
