it's a long long time since i last blog...jus came back from Taiwan this evening...went to there on the 24th...time flies so fast...this time had more experience of sum things and get to see some new sceneries and experience how the ppl live there...weather condition not bad la...this is the best time to go there cos very cooling then i'm lucky cos only the last 2 days raining and also not that heavy...

1st day- reach Changi Airport at 5:40am...check in and my dad bought me a perfume...though
it's not sumthing very ex or wad but i still appreciate it...thanks dad...it's the Jennifer Lopez Live LUXE...then reach taiwan at abt 12 plus...went to TamShui...tried the "tei dan"...a little saltish...then went to Fisherman's Wharf...the lover's bridge...next went to XiMenTing...the things there not that cheap...then went on to the Yaward Hotel...it's a golf resort but only got 3 storeys...

2nd day-went to Yeliu to see the sort of rock formation...not really rock...like sand but it's hard
wan...then went to Zhong Lie Chi...the timing is jus so nice...it's the time when the soldiers change shifts...next is the National Palace Museum...it's all abt those Dynasty wan...but i dun haf interest in it so i found it boring...then went to Zhong Zhen Ji Nian Tang...the weather quite hot so didnt go and walk abt...next is the 101 building...cos of time constraint and money matters so didnt went up the tallest building...it would cost you 350NT for one trip up there...Next to Tai Chung...here is famous for its bubble tea as it started from here and the "Tai Yang Bing"...then went to Feng Chia night market...it's so big that you cant walk finish for only 2 hours...then had "shuai shuai guo" for dinner...

3rd day- set off to Sun Moon Lake...it's cool man...the lake is on the mountain...then to "wen
wu" temple...it's quite big...then went to "fo guang shan"...it's not easy to climb up there if you are weak...there are over few hundreds of budda there and a big one standing...then went to KaoHsiung...went to the "ai zhi he"...sat the boat and go for a tour...then went off to "xin jue jiang" night market...its much smaller than the previous wan but also not too many ppl...

4th day- went to the pearl making centre...only Taiwan and Sri Lanka got...next, went to the
secret garden...aka "mi mi hua yuan"...then to "Lee Foo" theme park...the theme park got a combination of a zoo and a playing theme park...then we move on to the house of "Dao Ming Shi"...went to the "wen quan"...not the real wan cos not that hot...

5th day- went to Taroko National Park...before that, we sat the train to "xin chen" station and
sat the coach to the park...the road there is quite small and it's rather high there...but not as scary as places like "jiu zha gou"...then went the factory that makes marble, graphite etc...then we watched the aborignal cultural show...not that fantastic...had bamboo rice for dinner...

6th day- went on to "jiu fen"...sat the train for 2 hours 44mins then still need to sit the coach for
abt half an hour...this place is where the Sad City is acted...next went to Miramar to sit Ferris Wheel and the scenery is rather nice cos at night liao...in Taiwan, their 6pm is like our 8pm...but the time is the same...next we went to Shihlin night maket...it's raining but we still continue to walk but nth to shop cos the things they sell esp. the clothings are more for the winter season...if not, then it's more of food that they sell in the night markets in Taiwan...

7th day- went to Tao Yuan airport and catch the flight back to Singapore...reach Sg at 6:10pm...

how i miss Taiwan esp. the night markets but the travelling time makes me wanna sleep...but traffic jams happen only when it's the peak hours...if not, it isnt a big prob...
