  :: i am in taiwan ::

Yes.. i am currently in taiwan, tai tong ... just had my hot spring bath.. shiok! I am at hoya hotel.. not bad! the water is 40 degrees! i was almost cooked...

Well.. for the past few days.. first 2 days at taipei ... stayed at Chang Long Hotel.. right smack at Ximending! Good fashion.. felt so Lok Kok when i was there.. ate my mian xian! great man.. eating in the cool weather! went to shilin on my first day.. it was a sat, and it is extremely crowded! great clothes.. nice skirts at NT 390, around $20 bucks.. food is good too.. slurp!

Went to Fisherman Whaft during our second day.. scenary is good.. wind and weather is good... extremely cool.. very comfortable! shiok! ate lots of things.. like.. ice-cream that is at least 30 cm tall.. fish ball soup.. did a lot of sight seeing.. too bad the fog is thick.. cant see the mountains.. but the crowd is thick.. great way to spend weekend lazily..

realised that pple in taipei like to gamble. can see from the number of games shop they have.. though not hard gambling.. but.. i guess it is inculcated into the children's lifestyle...

we left super early.. at ard 7am to catch the first train to Hua lien.. it is a 3 hrs train ride.. similar to the KL train we have.. oh yah.. not forgetting to mention that the MRT system at Taipei is similar to the one at Singapore. Very easy to get around.. very similar..

oh yah.. at Hua lien.. which is famous for their scenic view.. we saw Taroko Gorge.. Great mountains! took lots of photos.. the scenary is mesmerising.. great air too! that journey took around 1 full day! tired!

Though tired.. we walked the streets of Hua lien, and shopped for Muah chi.. which is famous.. And in Hua Lien, we learnt from the locals that there are 12 tribes, and the most concentrated areas of the aborigines are in hua lien.. and the muah chi originated from them.. bought really a lot of muah chi.. think 4 packs to give away.. YH ask me to buy 4 packs sia! Tai Dong is also famous for their rice wine.. Dear bought 8 bottles in total! now have a problem in bringing them back..

the next day is more traveling downwards.. towards zhi ben.. which is where i am staying now.. along the way.. we saw things like sugar factory.. where i ate brandy ice-cream! hehe.. saw the local life like.. eating bian tang.. cool packaging at Chi Shang.. and saw you chai hua.. nice flowers.. and went cycling... cool trip..

after that.. its back at where i am.. hot spring.. haha..

well.. i spent half my holiday already.. dun wan to go back to Singapore! enjoying myself.. here.. and i have to thank Dear for organsing this trip for me! = )

okie.. he is looking bored.. better get going.. get a good rest.. and off i go to Kaoshiong tml! = )
