I just feel like blogging about my Taipei trip. Hehe. Perhaps bcos we do not have that much photos as compared to my Korea trip. For Korea, the thought of collaging the photos just put me off.
My thought of this 5D4N Taipei trip. It's relaxing, no tight schedules, we woke up at 10am every morning, its a pure shopping and eating trip, plus some sceneries. Even though we ended up eating VERY little, and the both of us lose weight!! and for shopping wise, never shop much too. Haha. But i do enjoy the company of my travel mate, my second time travelling with ping, after Tokyo.
We started our trip with Wei Ming, sending us to the airport, and having our lunch there together. Wanted to have Popeyes, but it has closed down. So sad..... So we ended up with Killiney. Sian, i see that everyday, and even before my trip, i had that for lunch. Boooo....
We took Jetstar, and our tickets was booked in October last year, it was only $217 nett per pax. Super duper good deal!! Finally, we are on our way to Taipei. But got this crazy man on our plane, i duno what exactly he did, but apparently he blocked one of the emergency exit, and for safety reasons, the plane nearly got to u-turn back to changi airport. Phew... but in the end, never la! When we touched down at Taipei, he was arrested. Haha. What an experience!
We bought our calling card at the airport, then took freego bus to our hotel.
Love the location of our home in Taipei - Futurestar Hotel. We only paid $98 per pax for 4 nights. It is really very accessible, just 1 min walk from XiMenDing exit 6. Decent and clean hotel, with friendly reception auntie, cheap and good. Highly recommended!
After settling down, we set off to Shilin night market. For our dinner, we had the big famous chicken cutlet, bubble tea and shanghai fried bun.
Somehow, this time round, i dun feel Shilin is that nice to shop. Not anymore, unlike my first Taipei trip. So, for the entire trip, we only visited Shilin once.
And this is my day 1 loots from Shilin. Pathetic.
